Chiropractic care under a trained professional is known to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health and wellness.
Corrective Exercises
At Bellevue Chiropractic Health Center, patients are taught how to perform special "blueprint" exercises that can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be the cause of their pain. Most of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of their own home to help improve the effectiveness of their individual chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, they may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of synchronization. Other types of pain such as headaches, and back and neck pain are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. For each specific case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from an experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping the body achieve balance and good health.
Advice On Lifestyle
Many patients that come to see a chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom will often find it helpful to receive "coaching" towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. There may be certain activities that should be avoided or done differently to prevent the unintentional aggravation of particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve. It is important to recognize that every single patient is a whole person and requires professional medical expertise to help them reach holistic health and wellness.
Appropriate Nutritional Counselling
So, what does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The ultimate goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their bodies. As part of that goal, it is important to provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient in their speedy recovery to optimal health.
At Bellevue Chiropractic Health Center, they can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.
Massage Therapy Treatment
Massage therapy does not only make you feel good but can actually help your body achieve balance and health. It offers a natural treatment approach that actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury and the benefits may include an increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling, and the relaxation of muscles. Massage treatment is known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, and increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's accelerated recovery. Some verified studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may assist in boosting your immune system.
Postural And Spinal Screenings
There is an old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and in this respect, your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings by trained and experienced chiropractors can help reveal important health information, by unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the Bellevue WA community, screenings are provided at community events, area malls, health fairs, and places of employment. Contact Bellevue Chiropractic Health Center today at (425) 230-5990 to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
Kinesio Taping Method
The Kinesio Taping Method is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body's natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints. This is effected without restricting the body's range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting. It is latex-free and wearable for days at a time. Kinesio RockTape® is safe for all population ages ranging from pediatric to geriatric, and successfully treats a variety of neuromuscular, neurological, orthopedic, and other medical conditions. The Kinesio® Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique offering both your patient the support they are looking for and rehabilitating the affected condition as well. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesio-tape ultimately alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. It is this lifting effect that forms convolutions in the skin, thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a sustained decrease in inflammation of the affected areas.
The Graston Technique
Graston Technique® (GT) Treatment is a unique, evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. It enables clinicians to address soft tissue lesions and fascial restrictions resulting efficiently and effectively in improved patient outcomes. GT uses specially designed stainless steel instruments with unique treatment edges and angles to deliver the means of manual therapy. The use of GT instruments if combined with the appropriate therapeutic range of exercise, leads to the restoration of pain-free movement and function. The instruments also are used diagnostically to assess the kinetic chain, in an efficient manner using the principles of regional interdependence.
Decompression Of The Spine
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is an innovative new technology used primarily to treat disc injuries in the neck and in the low back. This treatment option is very safe and utilizes FDA-cleared equipment to apply distraction forces to the spinal structures in a very precise and graduated manner. Any distraction is offset by cycles of partial relaxation. This technique of spinal decompression has shown the ability to gently separate the vertebrae from each other, thus creating a vacuum inside the discs that are being targeted. This "vacuum effect" is also sometimes known as negative intra-discal pressure.
Orthopedic Massage
The Orthopedic Massage Technique involves therapeutic assessment, manipulation, and movement of locomotor soft tissue to substantially reduce pain and dysfunction. Restoring structural balance throughout the body, it, therefore, allows the chiropractor to focus on both prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal dysfunctions of any sort.
Physiotherapy Treatment
Electrical Muscle Stimulation is used at Bellevue Chiropractic Health Center by placing pads on or around the injured area. These pads send electrical pulses into the area, and this type of chiropractic physiotherapy is beneficial for reducing pain. It increases the blood flow into the injured area, and thus accelerates the healing process.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy treatment is used to effectively minimize muscle pain and any movement dysfunctionality. Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver deep heat to the treated tissues, and it is this treatment that helps in reducing pain, stiffness, and swelling and increases circulation, to promote pain-free movement. Ultrasound therapy may either be used alone or in conjunction with therapeutic massage stretching, heat, or other gentle chiropractic manipulations. Ultrasound therapy is quite a painless procedure, and many people find it extremely relaxing.
