CMT ( chiropractic manipulative therapy): the purpose of CMT is to restore the normal function of a given joint. This can be performed by the doctor using his hands, or an adjusting tool/device. For example, you wake up with a stiff neck and cannot fully turn your head to the right. After a proper evaluation, the chiropractor may choose to adjust your neck, using his hands to restore the joints to allow you to turn your head to the right. However, if the doctor feels it may be hazardous to use his hands, a lesser restoration of the range of motion can be obtained by using an adjusting tool. This tool will provide a pulse to initiate the joints to restore to a normal range of motion.

 

EMS (electrical muscular stimulation): EMS is used in many different ways within a chiropractic office. It is a form of applying gentle impulses within the muscle to increase muscular contraction to either cause fatigue; resulting in decreased spasm, or cause hypertrophy; resulting in an increase in muscular size/strength. Depending on the form of EMS utilized, it can also be used to decreased local pain signals by overpowering one's body to interpret the pain signal and instead take on the new signal provided by the EMS unit.

 

Ultrasound: Ultrasound is a technique in which sound waves are utilized, through a medium, to cause a thermal effect of the soft tissue, or to enhance cell-repair effects of the inflammatory response.

 

Mechanical Traction: Cervical/Lumbar region: Here at Odell Chiropractic we use the preferred Saunder's traction units. Mechanical traction is a treatment utilized to reduce intradiscal pressure, foraminal compression, joint compression, and nerve compression. Please take notice that our units enable you to lay down in comfort, utilizing a compression system,  compared to older models which are attached to a door, pulley, and a water bottle. THIS TREATMENT IS GREAT FOR PAIN RADIATING INTO THE EXTREMITIES, HEADACHES, POSTURAL STRESS, AND DEGENERATIVE DISEASE.

 

Cox Flexion/Distraction: this treatment is performed using a specialized table which enables the doctor to create a "vacuum-like" effect within the disc to "pull" it back into anatomical position. This allows a the disc to remove pressure on surrounding structures such as nerves. This treatment also allows passive (performed without muscular contraction) low back range of motion for restoration.

 

Muscular therapies: these therapies include forms of trigger point  therapies which restore muscular function. These therapies are PIR/PFS stretching, Ballistic stretching, NIIMO, therapeutic massage, and aqua massage. These therapies provide soothing relief to also allow musculoskeletal function.

 

Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation exercises are also available to increase strength, muscular coordination, and muscular size. These therapies can also help restore stability and balance. These therapies are on a case by case basis.
