Services
Wellness means different things to different people. For some it may be freedom from chronic or acute pain. For others it may be the ability to run a marathon!
At Aggieland Chiropractic and Wellness Center we work with you to achieve the highest level of wellness you desire. We offer many types of services including chiropractic adjustments, a wide range of physiotherapies, nutritional counseling, a natural pharmacy, as well as on-going health care classes.
Activator Method-
Activator Method is a low force technique designed to deliver a safe,
comfortable measured force to move a bone or make an "adjustment". This
technique is highly researched and proven to be effective in treating
many different problems. See
activator.com for
more information.
Manual-
Manual chiropractic techniques include hands-on adjustments of the spine
and extremities, traction techniques and muscle therapies. Often, there
is a noise that accompanies this type of adjustment which is not painful
and represents gas moving within the joint.
Cox Flexion-Distraction-
Cox Flexion-Distraction is a specialty technique that performs spinal
decompression. This is used to treat disc problems, facet syndrome,
stenosis, arthritis, lower back pain, leg pain, muscle tension and
scoliosis. This technique can be highly effective even in cases that
have been resistent to many other treatment.
Physical
Therapy Modalities
Electrical Muscle stimulation – used in muscle re-education, strengthening, and pain relief. It increases blood flow, reduces edema, relaxes muscle spasms, increases joint flexibility, and promotes soft tissue healing. Tiny amounts of electrical impulses are induced into the tissues in the vicinity of the injury. Where these waves intersect a low-frequency stimulation is created. This prompts the body to secrete endorphins and other natural painkillers to help relieve pain.
Microcurrent Therapy- uses extremely small amounts of electrical current (millionths of an amp) to help relieve pain and heal soft tissues. Injury to the body disrupts its normal electrical activity. Microcurrent Therapy produces electrical signals like those naturally occurring when the body is properly functioning. By applying similar electrical currents, the healing process is enhanced.
Ultrasound-used to decrease inflammation, promote tissue relaxation in tight muscles, increase circulation, and speed healing.
Mechanical traction—used to re-establish curves of the spine, facilitates distraction of joint facets, reduces muscle spasms, edema, tissue congestion, reduces fibrotic tissues and adhesions
Fomentation (hot pack) – used for superficial heat induction, causes vasodilation, increase in nerve conduction velocity, cutaneous circulation, reduction in skeletal muscle tension and pain.
Cryotherapy (cold pack) – used for acute musculoskeletal sprains and some neuromuscular conditions. Cause vasoconstriction, reduction in nerve conduction velocity, skeletal muscle tension, pain, muscle spasms, swelling or edema.
PNF stretches—designed to rehabilitate or re-establish functional integrity to joint, muscle(s) or area. Used to increase joint flexibility, muscle strength, muscle tone, endurance or coordination of movement.
Therapeutic exercises – Use of dynamic activities to improve functional performance. Dynamic activities include use of balance, strength, ROM or functional activities.
Myofascial release – Used to eliminate trigger points, relax tight muscles, realign muscle fibers, promotes healing by increased circulation. Techniques may be active, passive, or both.
