Chiropractic
The human body needs to move well to live well. Improper motion of the spine, shoulders, hips, knees, etc. will cause the body to lack optimal performance. This is what creates the sensation of pain. Our chiropractic adjustments in Phoenix can help to improve motion, therefore relieving pain. At Phoenix Sports & Spinal Medicine, your chiropractic care will focus on proper joint function.
Active Release Technique (ART)
Soft tissue structures (muscles, ligaments, tendons) can become adhered to one another, which can create a dense, tough tissue inside the body. For our patients, this often results in musculoskeletal pain. When adhesions (often known as trigger points) form, they interfere and alter the proper motion of the muscles and joints. Your chiropractor at Phoenix Sports & Spinal Medicine is the perfect guide to help alleviate this problem.
Dry Needling
Chiropractic Dry Needling is a manual, therapeutic technique aimed at healing dysfunctional muscle tissue in the body. Using a thin needle, such as those used in acupuncture, your chiropractor can pierce the skin and target a trigger point (taut band of tissue). This provokes a variety of biochemical reactions, which reduces tension in the muscle and helps restore normal function. If you’re having trouble with muscle pain or function, dry needling in Phoenix may help.
Rehabilitation
Stabilization precedes movement. Whenever the body feels unstable, it restricts mobility. Many people will just stretch or foam roll when they feel tightness, when often it’s the body crying out for more stability, and less stretching. Rehabilitation is a large part of the plan for you to get better.
RockTape/KinesoTape
Kinesio Taping (Rock Tape) uses a non-latex fabric with elastic properties to adheres to the skin. We can place this tape over many regions of the body. Due to its elastic properties, once the tape is applied to the skin, the tension in the tape provides a type of sensory feedback to the brain which can influence movement patterns, therefore helping with your pain and mobility.
