What to Expect in Chiropractic Treatment Sessions at Fulcrum Therapy

Initial Assessment 

Your first visit will involve a thorough consultation where the chiropractor will gather important details about your medical history, lifestyle, and any current symptoms you are experiencing. This information helps them determine the most effective treatment plan to address your unique concerns.

Physical Examination 

During this stage, the chiropractor will conduct a series of physical assessments, including evaluating your posture, range of motion, and muscle strength. Additional diagnostic tools, such as X-rays or MRI scans and reports obtained from your family doctor may be used to gain a deeper understanding of your condition.

Developing a Treatment Plan 

During this stage, the chiropractor will conduct a series of physical assessments, including evaluating your posture, range of motion, and muscle strength. Additional diagnostic tools, such as X-rays or MRI scans and reports obtained from your family doctor may be used to gain a deeper understanding of your condition.

Your Treatment Session 

In the treatment session, the chiropractor will apply controlled force to specific areas of your spine or joints using their hands or specialized instruments. This technique aims to correct spinal misalignments, restore joint function, and reduce pain or discomfort. You may hear a popping or cracking sound, which is a normal occurrence as gas bubbles are released from the joints.

Post-Adjustment Sessions 

After your adjustment, the chiropractor will provide post-adjustment care instructions. These often include recommendations for proper posture, stretching exercises, ergonomic changes, and lifestyle modifications to help maintain the positive effects of the adjustment and enhance your recovery.

Chiropractic Techniques We Use at Fulcrum Therapy

At Fulcrum Therapy, we utilize a variety of advanced chiropractic techniques to help alleviate pain, promote healing, and restore mobility. Here’s an overview of the techniques we offer:

Spinal Manipulation Technique
Spinal manipulation aims to correct misalignments in the spine, promoting better alignment and improving overall spinal health.

1. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy (IASTM)
   IASTM Therapy uses specialized tools to relieve muscle tension and promote faster tissue healing by improving blood flow and circulation.
2. Active Release Technique (ART)
   This technique uses specific pressure points to very specific anatomical sites that are causing the issues to target tight muscles, improve mobility, and reduce pain, helping to release muscle adhesions. ART is very specific and effective in releasing adhesions and uses the patients’ movements to create tension, hence making it an active stretch.
3. Cupping Therapy
   Cupping therapy involves placing suction cups on the skin to enhance blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and promote healing through better circulation.
4. Trigger Point & Myofascial Release Techniques
   These techniques focus on releasing muscle knots and myofascial trigger points to ease muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion.
5. Webster Technique (Pregnancy)
   The Webster Technique helps alleviate pregnancy-related discomfort and supports optimal fetal positioning, ensuring a smoother labor and delivery.
6. Kinesiotaping
   Kinesiotaping provides support for injured muscles and joints, enhances circulation, and aids in the rehabilitation process, promoting better movement and function.
7. Extremity Adjusting for Lower Body Issues
   Extremity adjusting targets the joints of the lower body, such as the knees, feet, and ankles, to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore proper function.
8. Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Chiropractic
   Chiropractic care for motor vehicle accidents helps treat injuries sustained in car crashes, relieving pain and restoring mobility through specialized chiropractic techniques.
9. Work-Related Injury Chiropractic
   Chiropractic care for work-related injuries focuses on providing pain relief and rehabilitation to promote full recovery and prevent further injury from repetitive movements.
10. Shockwave Therapy
    Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to treat musculoskeletal conditions by reducing pain, promoting healing, and improving overall function.

Work-Related Injury Chiropractic

Chiropractic care for work-related injuries helps relieve pain, improve posture, and restore joint mobility to promote full recovery. Our techniques include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and trigger point release, all designed to address both symptoms and root causes of pain. We focus on rehabilitation to prevent future injuries by improving movement patterns and reducing muscle tension.

Chiropractic care is particularly beneficial for individuals with work-related injuries caused by repetitive motions, poor posture, or long hours spent sitting. Whether you have back pain, neck tension, or joint pain, our chiropractic team can help you recover.
