Rehab Modalities at Balanced Livermore Chiropractic

Balanced Livermore Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Livermore, California offers a range of advanced rehabilitation modalities that can help patients recover from injuries, reduce pain, and improve mobility. These modalities include:

Muscle stimulation: This technique uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles and promote healing. It can be particularly useful for patients with muscle weakness or atrophy, as well as those recovering from surgery or injuries.

Chiropractic Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments involve the manipulation of the spine and other joints in order to reduce pain and improve mobility. This technique can be particularly effective for patients with back, neck, or joint pain.

Heat: Heat therapy can help to reduce pain, increase blood flow, and promote relaxation. It can be particularly useful for patients with muscle tension, arthritis, or other chronic pain conditions.

Cupping: Cupping involves the use of suction cups to promote circulation and reduce pain. This technique can be particularly useful for patients with muscle tension or pain.

Graston: Graston is a form of manual therapy that involves the use of metal tools to break down scar tissue and promote healing. It can be particularly useful for patients with soft tissue injuries or chronic pain conditions.

Active Release Technique: Active Release Technique (ART) involves the manipulation of soft tissues in order to break up scar tissue and promote healing. It can be particularly useful for patients with sports injuries or repetitive strain injuries.

Traction: Traction involves the use of mechanical devices to gently stretch the spine or other joints. It can be particularly useful for patients with herniated discs or other spinal conditions.

Therapeutic Ultrasound: Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain. It can be particularly useful for patients with soft tissue injuries or chronic pain conditions.

Rehabilitation Exercises: Rehabilitation exercise is a key component of many treatment plans. It involves targeted exercises designed to strengthen muscles, increase flexibility, and improve mobility. These exercises can be tailored to the individual needs of each patient, and can be performed both in the office and at home using an app provided by the clinic.

Kinesiology Tape: Kinesiology tape is a flexible, elastic tape that can be applied to the skin in order to support muscles and joints, improve circulation, and reduce pain. It can be particularly useful for patients with sports injuries or other acute injuries, as well as those with chronic pain conditions.

Activator Adjustment: Activator adjustment involves the use of a small, handheld instrument called an Activator to deliver a controlled, low-force impulse to a specific area of the spine or other joints. This technique is gentle and precise, and can be particularly useful for patients with acute or chronic pain conditions, as well as those who prefer a more gentle approach to chiropractic adjustments.

Overall, Balanced Livermore Chiropractic and Rehabilitation offers a range of advanced rehabilitation modalities that can be tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Our goal is to not only provide natural pain relief, but treat the root cause of what is causing it.
