Spinal Decompression Therapy

This therapy is a non-surgical answer for disc related syndromes of your lumbar or cervical spine. We believe the Triton® DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy System manufactured by Chattanooga, Inc. to be one of the most advanced, non-surgical and cost-effective alternatives available today. The Triton® DTS is FDA cleared and spinal decompression therapy has been clinically proven with a very effective success rate for pain associated vertebral disc syndromes, pain in the low back and neck, sciatica, pinched nerves and bulging, "slipped", or degenerative disc problems...even after surgery has failed. 

Corrective Traction (CBP Therapy)

Sometimes exercises and adjustments are not enough. If there is abnormality in the patient’s neck or low back curvature, it doesn’t matter how often they get adjusted, get massages or exercise, in most cases their relief will remain short-term because their underlying spinal structure will remain uncorrected. Our office is one of only a handful in the greater Charlotte region which is properly trained and certified to provide ideal correction to a patient’s spinal structure through Chiropractic Biophysics Technique. 

Treatment for Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy, in its most common form, causes pain and numbness in your hands and feet. The pain typically is described as tingling or burning, while the loss of sensation often is compared to the feeling of wearing a thin stocking or glove. Peripheral neuropathy can result from such problems as traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes of the disorder is diabetes. Another indicator of peripheral neuropathy is the presence of statin drugs in the body, often taken to help lower cholesterol.

To help in the diagnosis, we utilize very specific neurological and physical exam protocols which involve checking your ability to feel certain sensations, your tendon reflexes, your posture and coordination, and your muscle strength and tone.

ATM2 Active Therapeutic Movement Exercises

The ATM-2 is an Active Rehabilitation Treatment that places the patient in a PAIN-FREE functional weight-bearing position. Special resistive exercises are then performed thereby resetting central nervous system (CNS) muscle activation patterns...allowing an immediate and significant reduction in pain and restoration of function.

Over the course of several Active Therapeutic Movement (ATM) sessions, abnormal muscle firing patterns are significantly reduced and proper activation and strength are restored. This provides long lasting relief and correction of many musculoskeletal conditions.

Whole Body Vibration Therapy

Vibration training is quickly becoming one of the most preferred methods available to rehabilitate injuries, increase bone density and circulation, increase muscle power, improve postural control, improve balance, and improve performance.

Oxygen Therapy

We use Enhanced Air (Oxygen) with our treatment programs to get you better faster by allowing your brain and cerebellum to work better!

Your brain and nervous system need two things to survive: fuel and activation. Fuel comes in the form of glucose and oxygen. You get the glucose from the food you eat BUT as you age, your ability to utilize oxygen decreases. We are giving you oxygen to help you heal faster. We want to get you better as fast as possible.

PLUS…….The cerebellum is in the back part of your brain and it controls ALL of your spinal musculature as well as your balance and coordinated movement. When the cerebellum is not firing correctly, the muscles will spasm, the vertebra lock up and the disc will lose fluid and degenerate. When we get the cerebellum firing better, the spinal muscles will no longer be in spasm, the vertebra will move better and your disc will re-generate.

Massage Therapy

Massage is offerred onsite by licensed therapists to help with soft-tissue management of various health conditions. Active Release Technique, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy and Ashiatsu are just a few of the various techniques that our massage therapists utilize to help restore your muscles to proper health.
