You know that unexpected but much required ‘pop’ that comes after a really bothersome neck pain or back pain filled day and magically relieves you of the pain? What if you don’t have to endlessly wait for the sweet sound of a pop to be music to your ears in order to get rid of the pain? Dr. Crystal can do that for you. And that’s what the chiropractic magic is about!
The Restorative Health Center offers Myofascial Release, a highly effective technique to ease ailments like back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and many others.
What is Myofascial Release?
‘Fascia’ is a fibrous tissue that surrounds muscles and can sometimes become stiff, causing pain and restrictive motion. Myofascial Release is a very hands-on physical therapy, which involves applying gentle sustained pressure on the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and thus restore motion. It is this gentle pressure applied slowly that allows the fascia tissue to relax, elongate, become active and pain free.
What is dry needling?
Myofascial trigger point dry needling (MFTrPDN) is a treatment to restore proper function to abnormally behaving muscles. Nodules, or knots, and tight bands that develop in the muscle create localized pain or send pain signals to other locations. The affected muscles become locked and cannot function normally, which restricts movement and causes chronic pain.
Our functional rehabilitation program uses three-dimensional therapeutic exercises to help the patient develop strength and endurance, increase range of motion and flexibility, and build core stability to prepare the body for return to activities of daily living and to achieve an optimal level of performance or full participation in sport.
We strongly focus on teaching the patient how to develop a strong "true" core. Many think that the core is worked by doing sit-ups and crunches. This idea is very outdated. Sit-ups, especially, put too much pressure on the spine and discs, and may be causing more harm than good. By doing the proper core stabilizing exercises, the spine can then be supported during activity and even rest. A stable core helps protect from further injury as well as help improve athletic performance.
Performed properly and regularly, (even after active chiropractic care with a home exercise program) functional exercises can be used to help prevent re-injury as well improve physical performance overall. The exercises you learn here at Restorative Health Center will help keep you moving well and healthy for your life.
Did you know that improper hip mobility can contribute to low back pain or that poor posture can cause elbow or even wrist pain? This is the case with many joint issues. "When the word "chiropractic" is said, most people think only of the neck and back. Here at Restorative Health Center we also address and adjust the extremities if needed. From shoulders to wrists and hands to hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Dr. Crystal has the education and tools to treat soft tissue and joint conditions of the extremities.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Therapy
Research has shown that instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (aka IASTM) can help shorten the rehabilitation period and time to return to sports among athletes and ordinary people to activities of daily living. The technique used helps remove scar tissue from injured soft tissues and facilitates healing.
