Chiropractic Adjustment
Injuries or postural stress to the spine can result in abnormal motion and/or position of spinal bones. An adjustment is a gentle force introduced into the spine intended to restore proper motion and structural alignment, thereby reducing pain and correcting mechanical or structural instability.
The doctor applies specific pressure to the injured areas and attempts to "unlock" the affected bone. This results in normalized joint motion and reduced stiffness. By applying the pressure in a specific direction, the chiropractor will also attempt to restore the proper alignment or position of the spinal bones. The end result is a spine which moves better, has less pain, and is able to withstand greater amounts of daily stress.
X-Ray Machine at the Office
X-ray films can be made the day of your initail visit for a complete diagnosis of your condition. You will not need to leave the office for the films to be made or wait for days for a diagnosois from a radioloigist. Dr. Larsen can read the films on site and provide the diagnosis to you before a treatment is provided.
Flexion/Distraction Therapy
Dr. Larsen uses equipment which is specialized to provide relief from a swollen or herniated disc through flexion and distraction of the low back. The movement of the spine with this equipment provides pain relief and stability to the spine.
Rehabilitative Therapy
Rehabilitative Therapies are designed to specifically meet our patients' needs and to help reduce muscle spasm, reduce pain, and help patients get stronger and achieve a full recovery. If needed, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and deep friction massage (SASTM) are provided. Additionally, specific exercises will be taught to the patient to help improve flexibility and stabilize the spine to reduce the risk of re-injury.
Postural and Gait Analysis
Abnormal foot structure (flat feet, high arches, etc.) can adversely affect the knees, hips, and back. Dr. Larsen is trained to evaluate postural distortions originating in the feet. Often these distortions require custom made orthotics to correct the abnormal foot structure. Dr.Larsen is trained in making the required orthitics to help alleviate your foot, knee, hip and low back pain.
Heat Therapy
Heat Therapy such as hot packs and ultrasound therapies may be used to improve circulation and aid in healing.
