Techniques used during treatment may vary between visits as your condition improves
The chiropractor treats patients with spinal manipulations, which are applied with skillfull hands in order to increase the range of motion of the spine. These adjustments are gentle and may emit a slight crackle (cavitation would be the exact word: noise emitted by a suction phenomenon that retains the articular facets).
It allows us to better detect and treat in a remarkable way because we use an instrument made of stainless steel that slides along the muscles, tendons and ligaments. The use of this object optimizes the healing of lesions.
Neuroproprioceptive taping
Our chiropractors are certified to apply neuroproprioceptive taping with a precise technique to optimize their care. "Taping" improves muscle function, relieves pain and supports the joint.
Electrotherapy and ultrasound
We use several types of complementary therapies such as ultrasound, interferential current and thermotherapy.
Trigger point technique
Trigger point therapy involves finding the areas of maximum contraction in a muscle, also known as a trigger point, which are treated specifically and locally.
The traction table gently decompresses a specific segment of the spine through flexion and distraction movement. This technique is used when a cervical, dorsal or lumbar disc is applying pressure on a nerve or when spinal joints are stiff and swollen. It relieves pain and increases joint mobility in the area where traction is applied.
This non-surgical technique is recognized for its benefits in the treatment of herniated disc and sciatic pain.
A very safe and effective treatment for people over 65 years old.
Vibro massage
The vibromassager helps to relax muscle spasms which allows the chiropractor to work more deeply and thus accelerate healing.
Personalized exercise programs
Depending on individual needs, a rehabilitation program can be prescribed to stretch and strengthen the affected structures. Doing your exercise program regularly helps to heal faster and avoid recurrences.
