Approximately 3 million whiplash injuries are reported each year due primarily due to car crashes. About 30% of that number develop chronic pain as a result and a further 30% become disabled due to chronic neck pain. Joint manipulation and muscle therapy helps reduce the long term effects of whiplash and reduce swelling in the area. The end result is that your body will have fewer muscular adhesions and better range of motion. Once the joint has been successfully restored to its normal range of motion, the area may also need strengthening, which your chiropractic physician can discuss with you at the appropriate phase of your treatment plan.
Cervical decompression is a non-surgical approach to care that is designed to help alleviate arm, neck, and back pain. By gently stretching the spine to reduce the pressure created by compressed vertebrae, a patient’s pain can be relieved and the healing of dysfunctional, bulging, degenerating, or herniated spinal discs facilitated.
The goal of cervical decompression therapy is to restore the natural alignment of the spine to alleviate chronic neck, arm, back, or leg pain. Based on the specific needs of each patient, the number of treatments will vary.
Lumbar decompression is a non-surgical approach to care that is designed to help alleviate lower back and leg pain. By gently stretching the spine to reduce the pressure created by compressed vertebrae, a patient’s pain can be relieved and any healing of dysfunctional, bulging, degenerating, or herniated spinal discs facilitated. As the applied traction lowers the pressure between the vertebrae, the conditions for a bulging or herniated disc to retract are optimized, and the flow of nutrient-rich fluids into the area is restored.
The goal of lumbar decompression therapy is to restore the natural alignment of the spine to alleviate chronic back or leg pain.
For patients experiencing pain associated with bulging, degenerating, or herniated discs, as well as other spinal conditions, one way to relieve pressure between the vertebrae to provide a measure of relief is with non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. By gently stretching and relaxing the spine using the latest methods of computer-monitored mechanical traction, we can help decompress the disc tissue. This action not only alleviates painful pressure on the spinal nerves as well as help to facilitate the movement of disc tissue back into alignment, but it also allows oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids to flow freely into the area to promote healing.
Spinal decompression may be recommended by our chiropractors to help alleviate the symptoms of degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other back conditions.
As skilled and experienced professionals, we customize treatment to address your specific needs. For maximum therapeutic benefits, we may recommend multiple sessions of spinal decompression therapy in conjunction with other conservative, non-surgical methods of care.
Have you tried supplements, pain medications, and other treatments for knee pain, stiffness, and swelling to no avail, and surgery seems like the only possible solution? Don’t despair; today, there’s another option in care! At Nevada Rehab Centers, we offer the leading non-surgical treatment methods to provide knee pain sufferers an effective, non-invasive, and drug-free alternative.
Let’s face it: knees debilitated by degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, or other damage can make even the most basic activities of daily living challenging and painful. You may wake up and start the day with knee pain, experience joint stiffness, inflammation, and, in some cases, burning, popping, or tingling discomfort. Above all, you might find yourself relying on pain medications and other drugs to experience enough relief to get through the day.
At Nevada Rehab Centers, our goal is to help patients experience freedom from pain and achieve optimal mobility, strength, and range of motion. Before considering more invasive options in care, including knee replacement surgery, we invite you to consult our office to hear more about the leading solutions we offer for troubled knees, including Knee On Trac, Laser Therapy, and PEMF therapy.
Knee On Trac from Ergo-Flex offers a safe, effective, and non-surgical option for individuals with debilitating knee issues or have been informed knee replacement is the only option.
While seated comfortably with the affected leg extended, this innovative, stand-alone knee traction device applies gentle static and intermittent traction to decompress and stretch your knee.
Knee On Trac gently reopens the joint space between the thigh bone and the shin to re- establish some of the natural joint space while allowing nutrient-rich fluids that support healing to seep back into the area. As the device’s light traction painlessly decompresses the knee joint and stretches the tissues around it, Knee On Trac helps to alleviate discomfort and support an improved range of motion and mobility.
Even after just one five-minute treatment, many people suffering with chronic knee pain report feeling better. Knee On Trac can be used as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other treatment modalities we offer.
With cold laser therapy, sometimes called low-level laser therapy (LLLT), our office can provide another effective, painless, and non-surgical option to promote tissue repair and tissue regeneration while alleviating the discomfort and reducing the inflammation associated with troublesome knees.
Cold laser therapy works via a process known as photobiomodulation. As specific wavelengths of light get applied to a problematic area and absorbed into the targeted tissues, they catalyze reactions at the cellular level that stimulate the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)—optimizing cellular metabolism, cellular function, and overall cellular health. The value of this therapeutic modality lies in its ability to ramp up energy production and reduce oxidative stress. Cold laser therapy facilitates a controlled inflammatory response and promotes an environment conducive to tissue repair and regeneration.
Treatment with a cold laser is completely noninvasive and painless.
During the procedure, you’ll feel the device against your skin, but the device creates no heat, sound, or vibration. Treatment sessions are short and typically only taking a few minutes. Plus, there’s generally little to no recovery or downtime.
However, depending on the extent of knee damage, it may take several visits to experience significant relief. Although effective on its own, laser therapy is sometimes performed in conjunction with other treatment modalities for optimal results.
Offering a completely safe, drug-free, and noninvasive method of care, PEMF therapy (pulsed electromagnetic fields) helps to mitigate pain and alleviate dysfunction, including muscle weakness, sluggish fracture healing, and arthritic or musculature discomfort. As approved by the FDA, this remarkable technology sends pulses of magnetic energy to stimulate repair at the cellular level in support of healing, pain relief, and reducing inflammation.
PEMF therapy promotes the body’s natural ability to recover by stimulating cell metabolism, increasing circulation, enhancing muscle function, and decreasing inflammation as well as pain. When used to provide relief from chronic pain, PEMF therapy not only restores the cells’ ability to operate more efficiently but also reduces the body’s perception of pain. Demonstrated to alleviate muscle & joint pain as well as the discomfort associated with arthritis, and more, PEMF therapy can also be used in conjunction with other treatments to enhance the benefits of care.
Deep tissue massage therapy is a hands-on technique for applying pressure to the deeper tissue layers to release chronic muscle tension. By realigning the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, chronic aches and pains can be relieved. Deep tissue massage therapy targets areas of tension and can be used to address specific issues such as chronic muscle tension or pain, back pain, injury recovery, and rehabilitation and postural problems as well as the symptoms of arthritis and other joint conditions. While the primary goals are to reduce discomfort, increase mobility and encourage tissue healing, deep tissue massage therapy has also been found to relax the body and increase hormone levels that reduce anxiety and stress.
Among a chiropractor’s many skills is the art of spinal manipulation to relieve pain and correct muscle imbalances. Back and neck pain are the leading reasons people miss work and visit their doctors. In many of these cases, muscle strains or sprains are causing the backache with tight muscles pulling on the vertebrae to move them out of place. This misalignment or subluxation of the vertebrae compresses the associated nerves to result in pain and stiffness. The goal of the chiropractor during spinal manipulation is to reposition the vertebrae to their original position and decompress the nerves thus stopping the pain. Spinal manipulation offers a conservative and non-surgical approach to care that both alleviates symptoms of discomfort and restores function.
Spinal manipulation, which is also referred to as spinal manipulative therapy or manual therapy, harnesses the body’s innate healing power by gently repositioning and aligning those vertebrae that have shifted. It serves to relieve pain, restore function, and help maintain homeostasis. The procedure involves the directed manipulation of joints and can be complemented by massage therapy, exercise, and physical therapy to reduce inflammation, and alleviate nerve impairment for improved comfort and function. With spinal manipulation back, neck, shoulder, and headache pain can be treated. In some cases, other disorders such as menstrual pain and sinus problems can also be addressed.
As an essential component of care in both Western and traditional Asian medicine, forms of manipulative spine therapy have been used for thousands of years and in many parts of the world. In fact, evidence found in both ancient Chinese text from China in 2700 B.C. and Greek text circa 1500 B.C. mention manipulation of the spine and legs to ease back pain. In the United States, Dr. Daniel David Palmer, who is considered the “father” of chiropractic care, first developed the theory that diseases were caused by spinal misalignments, which blocked the transmission of the body's own healing power through the nervous system, near the end of the nineteenth century. His ideas and findings form the basis of chiropractic medicine today.
Following an accident or injury, it’s important to get a chiropractic assessment and care to address any tissue damage or functional impairment that can have long-term consequences. Because many accident victims sustain whiplash, musculoskeletal or soft tissue trauma as well as vertebral injuries, quality chiropractic care is essential for restoring mobility to the joints, strength to the muscles, and the body’s functional harmony.
In addition to receiving the highest quality of chiropractic care, we understand that it’s essential for injury and accident victims to get the support required to cover the costs of treatment along with the legal documentation needed to establish any functional limitations or permanent disabilities. At our office, we use the most advanced imaging and diagnostic technology to review, assess, and document injuries for insurance as well as legal purposes.
Sports massage is a type of soft tissue therapy that improves flexibility, endurance, and supports optimal performance while reducing fatigue and helping to prevent injuries. As an essential component of a balanced training regimen, sports massage targets areas of the body that are involved in a particular physical activity and exposed to intensive forces and repetitive stresses. By applying the principles of dynamic stretching, sports massage can be used as part of a training program in preparation for an event or competition as well as afterwards to reduce soreness and muscle recovery time.
