Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a non-invasive and thorough approach to restoring motion throughout each joint of the body. Through skilled hands, chiropractors find pain, restrictions, and tension in the surrounding tissues of an improperly moving joint. Traditional chiropractic focuses on improving the quality of joint motion in the spinal column which alters the neurological control of the the body’s systems.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft tissue is the connection between each bone that serves to stabilize or move them in a specific way. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the fascia that surrounds each tissue group can be manipulated using our hands or with an instrument. Chiropractors don't provide relaxing massages but target the tissue to improve movement patterns and restore neurological tone. Read More

Other Services Offered Within Appointments:

Emotional Release

Looking for physical proof that stressful triggers are related to current painful symptoms? Using the Emotion Code and Voila Method Techniques, I will identify emotional triggers that result in painful conditions to improve your body’s resistance to the stressors of life. All emotional work is assessed using muscle testing to show physical improvements and is verbally resolved. Appropriate referrals will be made if clinical signs of therapy are demonstrated.

Cupping

Cupping is a decompressive pain relief tool that gained popularity thanks to Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps and his mysterious dark circles that were left on his shoulders after a recovery treatment session.at an area of pain or muscle tension, cupping is used to restore the tone of soft Tissue underneath that trigger point.

Breathing Rehabilitation

A large focus of chiropractic is to remind patients to breathe with ease in beneficial areas of the torso. Using movement corrections with breathing will re-wire the nervous system to compliment adjustments and improve lasting results. Breathing exercises are sent home with each patient to decrease pain levels and stressful forces during exercise or daily behavioral routines. Read More

Kinesiology Taping

K-tape is a wonderful tool to improve joint control and fascial distortion during painful or uncoordinated movement. Taping is done in the office and will provide a few days worth of pain relief to allow you to stay participating in your activity during a treatment plan. Temporary yet powerful, this adhesive tool is now very popular and is used on many professional and Olympic Athletes worldwide. Read More

Rehabilitative Exercise

Because of my background in exercise science, athletic training, personal training, and group exercise instruction, I tailor each treatment plan to the patient's specific sport or activity. In combination with the muscle/joint balancing in office, strengthening exercises are demonstrated and sent home with each patient to improve your sense of control throughout healing. Resistance training, dynamic movements, yoga poses and balance coordination all play a role in the exercise regime provided in our office. Read More

New to Chiropractic ?

Chiropractors are known for treating the joints of the spine but the field has evolved into a wide array of services besides spinal adjusting such as soft tissue therapy, rehabilitative exercises, and nutritional counseling.

How do we find areas of the spine that need to be adjusted? A portion of chiropractors utilize x-rays for a visual assessment of spinal curves, anatomy, and degenerative levels of the patient. Without film, other doctors depend on a visual assessment of motion reinforced by the information provided from hands-on joint testing known as palpation.

Every office will be slightly different in the examination process but we are all trained to compare the quality of movement between each vertebra. We decide if the joint needs more motion or should be stabilized using other techniques. If joint motion is needed, a quick and strategic thrust is added. If the joint moves too much, the region around that area needs to be stabilized using rehabilitative exercises without an adjustment.

Chiropractic is a rewarding and fun career. We are constantly moving, staying healthy, and improving the lives of those who seek alternative care. Check out my first published article in Oklahoma Sports & Fitness Magazine to read more about chiropractic and its effect on the nervous system, movement patterns, pain, and respiration.

Soft Tissue Techniques

Instrument Assisted (FAKTR)

FAKTR stands for Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab. It is an assessment we use in the office to fix dynamic, athletic injuries to soft tissue. Using a stainless steel, dull tool we'll scrape the muscles during active movements to improve fascial adhesions, scar tissue, swelling, and muscle impingement symptoms. FAKTR is one of the best ways to relieve sports related pain.

Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology tape has many benefits. This powerful fabric material lifts the skin due to the elastic pattern on it. Ripples on the surface of the skin caused by the lift of tape give the inflamed tissue underneath space to reduce the compression on pain receptors and blood vessels. Then the body can spread the inflammation faster to speed up the healing process. (See pictures below)

Active Release (Pin & Stretch)

Myofascial release is a soft tissue technique that combines deep pressure points with specific movements that treats muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia and nerve problems. This treatment is perfect for active patients that suffer from overuse injuries in their knees, elbows, shoulders and hips. A few of the conditions that can be resolved quickly with this method include; headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow.

McKenzie Therapy

McKenize Method is a physical therapy technique adapted by chiropractors to help diagnose and treat spine-related disorders like bulging/herniated discs or postural-related pain. Used in medical facilities all over the world, MDT is used in conjunction with manual therapy and exercises. This system will help initial pain levels decrease and will also serve as the maintenance routine for patients to take home.

I love the fast relief that McKenzie Method can give patients as well as the self-empowering education of ways to heal themselves at home. Symptoms that could benefit from this treatment include sharp shooting pains, weakness in your extremities, tingling or numbness, as well as constant muscle tightness.

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization

DNS is a rehabilitation approach created by the Prague School of Rehabilitation in the Czech Republic where their physiotherapists specialize in human kinesiology and development. Inspired by the movement and breathing patterns of a developing child, the same positions are used as exercises for adults to return to the optimum mechanics we were designed with.

Using this approach, DNS teaches us that breathing is the key link to unlocking optimal neurology. It serves as the “control alt delete button” to reset stress, tight muscles, and poor posture. DNS training is perfect for those who have a weak support system, unshared joint range of motion, or chronic injuries to due areas of hypermobility.
