A chiropractic adjustment is the heart of chiropractic care. However, other therapies can complement spinal adjustments. At ASH Chiropractic & Wellness in Georgetown, TX, we offer a range of treatments to help you feel your best.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a computer-aided technology that has revolutionized the treatment of chronic low back pain and neck pain; commonly occurring due to herniated, slipped, or degenerated discs. It is most commonly used for the treatment of Sciatica (leg pain).
In non-surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy, the spine is stretched and relaxed intermittently using the accurate calculations of the computer to generate just the right amount of tension to achieve optimal results.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient therapy with roots in Eastern medicine. Cupping uses cups, which are placed on your body at specific points. Next, suction is created, which pulls the blood to the surface. Suction is by lighting a fire in the cup or with a suction device.
This technique relieves many types of pain, including muscle pain or stiffness, nerve pain, joint pain, and headaches. In addition, the process stimulates blood flow, reduces inflammation, and brings fresh blood into the area, which is thought to help speed the healing process.
Cupping can also remove toxins from the body, activate the lymphatic system, and clear blockages within the colon. This method can be helpful for several reasons, including stress, depression, and skin issues. The treatment may also help fight respiratory infections.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is another treatment that can relieve several conditions. You may associate massage with relaxation, but it also has physical benefits.
Massage therapy is helpful for chronic pain, injuries, fibromyalgia, and stress. It can relieve pain from muscle tension and help your body heal faster from illness or injury. In addition, it helps detox your body by activating the lymphatic system, reduces inflammation, and improves blood flow.
Different types of massage can help with various issues. You can discuss which type is best for you. For example, Swedish and deep tissue massage is excellent for tense muscles. Trigger point massage can help relieve pain caused by trigger points. Sports massage is often recommended for pain or injury due to sports or repetitive motion.
