Sports Medicine
Orthopedic injuries due to strain, sprains, contusions, repetitive motion, sciatica, or whiplash can be treated to reduce or eliminate acute or chronic pain. Diagnostic and Manual Muscle Testing is the first step in determining the most effective type of treatments for your injury. Acupuncture works to speed the healing rate of injuries and reduce pain by increasing local microcirculation and attracting white blood cells to the area, which aid the dispersal of swelling and bruising. Following an acupuncture treatment, a variety of substances are released, including endorphins and neurotransmitters, to reduce pain and promote relaxation. Soft Tissue Release is a very specific neuromuscular therapy. As a form of sports massage, soft tissue release involves applying pressure to a muscle at the same time the muscle is being stretched. Soft tissue release is used to correct muscular imbalances, accelerate the healing of muscular injuries and quickly eliminate pain. PNF Stretching (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) is a stretching technique in which a muscle group is passively stretched, then contracts isometrically against resistance while in the stretched position, then passively stretched again to increase range of motion. PNF stretching is the most effective way to achieve a maximum state of muscle flexibility. Click Here to view our Services and Pricing |
