Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing, treating and preventing musculoskeletal conditions of the spine, neck, and extremities. At Durham Chiropractic & Wellness we aim to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and prevent future injuries by using a variety of treatment methods individualized to each patients needs. These may include spinal manipulation, muscle release, acupuncture or electrical muscle stimulation. In addition, the experienced health care team at Durham Chiropractic & Wellness can assist with nutritional questions and provide exercises to help restore mobility and reduce pain.
Chiropractic care is a great way to help improve quality of life and can be an effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions, new or reoccurring.
Manual Manipulations
Spinal Manipulation Therapy (SMT) is a form of manual therapy that is used to treat a variety of muscle and nerve conditions. SMT is used to reduce pain, improve function, and restore normal mobility to the spine and joints. A gentle thrust to specific joints of the spine is applied to restore normal joint motion and function.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses very fine needles that are inserted into the body to provide relief from pain by increasing blood flow to the area, reducing muscle tension, and promoting overall healing. Acupuncture can help with muscle sprains/strains and nerve conditions.
Muscle Release
Muscle release is used to treat a variety of conditions ranging from chronic pain to muscle tension. The process uses specialized techniques to release tight muscles and fascia, which can help decrease pain, improve range of motion, and improve overall functionality.
Fascial Stretch Therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a form of manual therapy that helps to improve flexibility, joint range of motion, and mobility. FST works on the 'fascial system' which is a complex network of connective tissues that attach, stabilize, and enclose muscles and organs in the body. FST is a technique involving the application of sustained pressure to the fascia while the body is taken through a range of motion.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine. Cupping therapy aims to reduce pain and inflammation, while promoting blood flow, relaxation and well-being.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy (IASTT) is an innovative and effective technique used to treat soft tissue injuries. IASTT creates micro-trauma to the tissue, which stimulates a healing response to improve mobility, range of motion and reduce pain.
