X-ray: Spinal X-rays are pictures of the spine to find injuries or diseases that affect the discs or joints in the spine. These include spinal fractures, infections, dislocations, tumors, bone spurs, or disc disease. Spinal X-rays are also done to check the curvature of the spine (scoliosis) or for spinal defects. X-rays are sometimes required to get a full evaluation of a patient. The need for x-ray is considered on a case by case basis. Adjusting Rooms:
This office utilizes an “open adjusting” environment for ongoing patient care. “Open adjusting involves several patients being seen in the same adjusting room at the same time. The use of this format is intended to make your experience with our office more efficient and productive as well as to enhance your access to quality health care and health information. Our doctors will fully explain the adjustment before it is performed. The doctor will then palpate the spine and find the subluxations that he will adjust after he detects the misalignment. Adjustments are a non-evasive technique to get the spine in proper alignment. Physiotherapy Area:
Physical Therapy is performed to strengthen and stretch the muscles of the body to increase strength and range of motion. By treating the muscles at the same time as the spine, our patients will hold their adjustments for a longer period of time and get faster, longer lasting results. Physical therapy will consist of band exercises, Precor stretch, wobble boards, ball exercises and cervical extension traction. Massage Room:
We are happy to offer massage therapy in addition to chiropractic care. Not only is massage relaxing, it also has a number of therapeutic benefits including: reducing pain, stiffness and fatigue, increasing muscle tone and flexibility, reducing blood pressure and heart rate and increasing local blood flow, just to name a few. Using massage therapy in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments helps our patients to obtain maximum benefits. Grant Chiropractic not only offers traditional chiropractic adjustments for the spine and extremities, but we also offer an extensive range of physiotherapy and massage therapy. Physiotherapy is therapeutic exercises that develop core strength, endurance, range of motion and flexibility. Cervical Streching:
The cervical stretching protocol consists of lateral bending and rotatory maneuver to restore mobility and increase the length of the muscles in the neck. The stretching of the cervical muscles helps the patient prepare for the adjustment, and also assists in the prolonging the effects of the adjustment. The patient is taught the procedure by the Doctor or a licensed Chiropractic Assistant. Lumbar Streching:
The lumbar stretching protocol consists of varying stretches utilizing a Pre-Cor stretch machine. Stretching of the lumbar muscles in the upper and lower back helps the patient prepare for the adjustment, and assists in prolonging the effects of the adjustment. The patient is taught the procedure by the Doctor or a licensed Chiropractic Assistant. Percussion Therapy:
Percussion is a therapy that consists of utilizing an Erchonia Percussor, which is a hand-held deep-tissue device that sends a galvanic wave through muscles for deep and superficial release. The device is used to relax the patient and loosen up tight muscles to alleviate pain in the injured area. Cervical Traction:
Cervical Traction is the usage of weights and pulleys to mechanically restore the natural lordotic curve in the cervical spine. This procedure is used for patients who have a loss of curvature in the cervical spine, which places tension on their spinal cord. Traction has been clinically proven to restore the natural curvature in the cervical spine which assists in correcting poor posture and relieving headaches and migraines caused by impingement of the spinal cord.
