Therapeutic Chiropractic
What we call “Therapeutic Chiropractic” at SHÈN is simply a more zhuzhed up version of traditional chiropractic care. This treatment combines the best of massage therapy with evidence-based chiropractic care and the result is pretty special.
The focus during a therapeutic session is as much about addressing your pain and injury as it is about quality time on the table for you to connect body to mind.
Passive soft tissue therapies, chiropractic mobilization and adjustments, and corrective movements are used in tandem to allow for improved healing times, decreased systemic inflammation, and a greater sense of calm.
How it Helps
Similar to acupuncture treatments in vibes, a therapeutic chiropractic session helps our body move from the “fight or flight” response associated with pain, stress, or illness into our “rest and digest” response during which time we heal tissue, reduce excessive inflammation, and recover from injuries, new and old.
Targeted body work paired with perfectly applied chiropractic adjustments make this treatment a powerful physical medicine.
These manual therapies will reduce myofascial adhesions and restriction, help to slow or stop the formation of trigger points, decrease myofascial pain, promote increased blood flow, and improve nerve communication throughout the body.
Who It’s For
- Chronic or acute pain associated with injury
- Postural imbalance
- Headaches
- Muscle stress and tension
- Neuropathies or other neurogenic pain
- Patients who know they’re not great at doing “at home” care themselves ;)
What to Expect
Our therapeutic chiropractic treatments begin with an evaluation similar to Sports Medicine, coupled with a goal setting session and exploration of expectations.
From here however, treatment segues from active care to passive care. And while most patients can benefit from a combination of both, sometimes you just want to lay on a warm table and have someone take care of you for a while. (Same, friend. Same.)
Our therapeutic chiropractic sessions are perfect for those looking to combine the healing power of physical medicine with the vibe of an acupuncture visit.
These sessions often include use of cupping, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, supplement recommendations, and Grade IV laser application.
What About Adjustments?
We’re chiropractors. We love an adjustment! But that’s just one tool of many available to us. The beauty of both our Sports Medicine chiropractic adjustments and our Therapeutic sessions is that many of our most commonly used tools are not even adjustments at all! Rather, they are used as a way to safely enhance the other modalities or ease the movements you’re been prescribed as part of your treatment plan.
Wary about being adjusted? We hear ya! We will always let you know if it’s appropriate for you to be adjusted - and we promise to never do so without your permission.
