Chiropractic Techniques in Santa Monica

The styles of Chiropractic adjustments in Santa Monica, which I practice are 1. manual adjusting of the spine and extremities, 2.SOT blocking of the hips/low back, 3. Activator Apparatus for those who don’t want to be adjusted with a manipulative technique, and 4. flexion-distraction table for low back and neck disc disorders.

how we can help in Santa Monica

A typical first visit consists of: a basic medical history, examination and consultation of findings, and any or all of the following procedures to help control the symptoms associated with the reason you are seeking care.

1. Heat- To relax the muscles, increase flow of oxygenated blood, loosen up the area(s) of concern.
2. Electrical Muscle Stimulation- decreases pain, muscle tension, and spasms.
3. Ultrasound- decreases inflammation, breaks up scar tissue, increases rate of oxygenated blood to the area to encourage the healing process.
4. Massage- to loosen up the muscles, trigger points, and spasms; as well as feel and find what areas of the body need to be adjusted and balanced.
5. Stretching- to increase flexibility and joint/body ranges of motion, to allow more movement and decrease the likelihood of new or further injury.
6. Chiropractic Adjustments- the spine or extremities (shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands; hips, knees, ankles feet).
7. Ice and Exercises- ice to lock in the new oxygen enriched blood, and decrease pain/ inflammation. Exercises to strengthen involved areas of concern.
8. Flexion-Distraction Table for treatment of disc injuries to spine
9. Infrared Sauna- relax at 135 degrees to lose weight, detox, sweat like you've never sweat before, and burn fat cells.
10. BEMER technology- increase your circulation up to 30% for up to 16 hours at a time with this FDA-approved class 2 medical device. It is an absolute game-changer
