Chiropractic treatments can help every member of the family to reach optimal health. Dr. Patrick Moore of the Moore Family Chiropractic Center in Galesburg, IL offers all the treatments you require and provides education to his patients on the benefits of a holistic approach to healthcare.
Chiropractic adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment is one of the cornerstones of chiropractic care. In keeping with the philosophy that the body has the ability to heal itself when it is working at an optimal level, chiropractic adjustments help it to get there. When the spine is out of alignment, the messages aren't getting through the way they should. An adjustment will allow the impulses to travel from the brain to the organs and the extremities. Whether vigorous or gentle, manual or instrument applied, the end goal of a chiropractic adjustment is the same, creating balance in the whole body.
Therapeutic massage
Therapeutic massage can be very helpful when patients are suffering from soft tissue pain or before a chiropractic adjustment. Tension and trigger points can be released, which helps to make the adjustment easier and more effective. It can also help when whiplash may be an issue.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercises are targeted at the area where the pain or injury is located. Stretches are commonly used to help keep you mobile while you are recovering. When bulging discs are involved, therapeutic exercise may be core strengthening to help your muscles work with the vertebrae to keep the discs in place. These chiropractic treatments continue the healing at home.
Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to vibrate and massage the soft tissue deep within the body. It helps the body to heal itself at the cellular level as well as reduce the amount of scar tissue. It helps to decrease the length of recovery time.
Interferential Current Therapy
Interferential current therapy is effective at treating the muscular and skeletal systems. It can help reduce swelling and also help painful joints. Electrodes are placed on the skin in the area where the pain is and use low levels of electricity to stimulate the area. Stimulating the nerves in the area initiates the healing process.
