A chiropractor not only diagnoses you, but also provides you the propertechniqueof treatment according to your problem areas. Let us go through the various approaches to chiropractic techniques and the benefits that they provide.
Graston Technique
If you are suffering from pains due to any past injuries or surgeries, you should consult a Graston Technique chiropractor.
The Graston technique is a form of manual therapy that targets injuries in your soft tissues while speeding up the recovery process by reducing any scar adhesions and inflammations.
This chiropractic technique has a number of benefits such as reducing and eliminating any adhered fibers, restoring your original range of motion, and eliminating any associated pain.
Conditions such as Achilles Tendinosis, cervical and lumbar sprain, ankle sprains, knee pain, foot pain, and shoulder pain, post-mastectomy and caesarean scarring etc. can all betreated by using Graston technique.
Active Release Technique
ART or Active Release Technique recognizes your problem areas that compromises your full range of movement and treats your body’s soft tissue by combining manipulation and movement.
This technique not only frees all your compressed nerves but also improves oxygen flow, relieves pain, and restores your movement. Active Release Technique is generally used to treat problems that are associated with muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.
Conditions such as tension headaches, shoulder pains, lower back pains, chronic nerve pain, sciatic nerve pain, bursitis etc. can all be treated by the Active Release Technique.
Webster Technique
Problems such as lower back issues and improper alignment of the pelvic region are quite common during pregnancies. Such problems can be easily fixed by a Webster Technique Chiropractor.
The Webster technique involves a series of adjustments that are specifically designed to balance the pelvis region and reduce any stress on the round ligaments supporting the uterus.
This technique comes with a number of benefits such as decreasing the amount of tension and torsion on the uterus thus providing a better birthing position for the baby, reducing low back, groin, and hip pain during pregnancy besides supporting a less traumatic delivery for both the mother and the baby.
Moreover, Webster technique is known to fix any sort of baby breech situations that can help provide a normal delivery.
Neurokinetic Therapy
NKT or Neurokinetic Therapy is a type of natural therapeutic system that majorly aims at correcting learned movements and muscle functions within the body that might often contribute to joint tenderness, poor posture, and muscular pain.
It delves deep into your system to recognize the actual reasons behind your acute muscular pains.
Besides reducing muscular pains, the other benefits of a Neurokinetic therapy are: reducing neck and back pain, treating headaches and shoulder pain, correcting your running form, and helping reduce Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Plantar fasciitis, Bursitis and Tendonitis, etc. can also be corrected by Neurokinetic Therapy.
Selective Functional Movement Assessment
SFMA or Selective Functional Movement Assessment is a system to assess and classify movement patterns and is specifically designed to pinpoint the reason behind your faulty movement patterns that might be causing you pain.
This assessment is a series of 7 full body movement tests that can further be used for assistance during the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal pain.
One of the major benefits of the Selective Functional Movement Assessment is that it addresses not only a painful joint, but rather the entire body. This process corrects the dysfunctional movement patterns throughout your body, thus preventing any future pain or injuries.
The present generation is getting highly afflicted by a number of musculoskeletal problems such as chronic and acute back pains, knee joint pains, post-surgery pains etc.
While there are a number of medicines available in the market that can help relieve your pains, we would highly recommend you to consult an expert chiropractor to get yourself diagnosed and properly treated.
