Your Spine and Nervous System

What Services Do We Provide

Chiropractic Care: A system of diagnosis and treatment based on the concept that the nervous system coordinates all of the body's functions, and that disease results from a lack of normal nerve function. Chiropractic employs manipulation and adjustment of body structures, such as the spinal column, so that pressure on nerves coming from the spinal cord due to displacement (subluxation) of a vertebral body may be relieved. Practitioners believe that misalignment and nerve pressure can cause problems not only in the local area, but also at some distance from it.

Hydro Massage Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

 

How does the HydroMassage System work?
 The HydroMassage System uses strategically placed rotating, pulsating jets of warm water to massage the user, while keeping them dry with a resilient, waterproof barrier. Fingertip controls allow the user to vary the intensity of the water speed at any stage of the massage.

Who can use the HydroMassage System?
 The HydroMassage has been designed to be used by all people young and old. The simple operating features allows the HydroMassage System to be used without any supervision.

Does the user get wet?
 Absolutely not. The HydroMassage System is fully designed to deliver a penetrating massage while the user remains fully clothed and dry.

Are there any medical benefits?
Studies have shown that there are a number of medical benefits associated with your HydroMassage session. In addition to increasing circulation, oxygen levels and reducing blood pressure, your metabolism is increased and the venous returns and lymphatic drainage is improved. You may even notice that you have more flexibility and a greater range of motion after treatment.

Need a massage?
Maybe your back is sore or you have a headache and your shoulders are aching from tension and stress after a hard day at work. Maybe your muscles are tight and cramping after finishing a strenuous workout or overdoing it while participating in a sporting event. Just think how wonderful a relaxing massage would make you feel!

How do I prepare for a HydroMassage session?
Users are often relieved to learn that there is no need to disrobe and that they will not be left in the hands of a stranger. We suggest you remove balky sweaters, jackets or unneeded layers of clothing so that you can maximize the experience. In addition, you will be asked to remove any sharp objects from your pocket or anything else that may puncture the protective barrier.

What can I expect?
Supported by a sturdy nylon net and protected by a resilient barrier that prevents you from getting wet, you will be asked to lie on your back while the attendant adjust the time, temperature and pressure. If your session is on one of the HydroMassage beds that feature the travel and jet system, the speed and location will be set to further customize your session.

How will I feel during the session?
 Most users say they feel totally ease during a session... in fact, many fall asleep as they feel a deep sense of peacefulness. Others feel acutely aware of their bodies as the rhythmical waves of water melt-away a tension and fatigue. Sometimes users report a tingling or itchy sensation as circulation increases. While everyone’s experience may be different, everyone shares the same opinion afterwards... they feel “fantastic”.

How long do sessions last?
 Typically, sessions run from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the type of relief you are seeking. Users report that a full body massage of 30 minutes feels like a hour or more of hands on massage if you are focusing treatment on a smaller area, such as your lower back or neck, you may need only five or 10 minutes to experience relief.

How will I feel after a session?
 In a word... great! HydroMassage sessions help reduce blood pressure, increased circulation and encourage the body to release endorphins, which are your body’s natural painkillers. We suggest that you drink plenty of water after your session to help remove toxins and waste products that are released during the session.
     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

X - Rays yield a lot of valuable information about the condition of a person.  In aconventional medical setting x-rays are taken to look for tumors, infections, fractures, birth defects, or any pathology (disease). It is very important to rule out these potential problems before conservative treatment is considered.  However, x-rays can yield much more information than that.   It is not uncommon for a patient to go to their doctor with back or neck pain and receive a series of x-rays to the area of complaint.  In most cases, the patient will receive normal findings on the x-rays.  The patient then leaves the doctor's office maybe with a prescription for muscle relaxers, pain killers, anti-inflammatories, or all of the above.  Many times the patient is confused as to how he/she can have intense pain and at the same time have normal x-rays.  Again, normal x-rays from a medical perspective means that there were no tumors, infections, fractures, birth defects, or osteopathology.  

       

This does not take into account misalignments in skeletal joints or distorted joint postures. 

 

        Not only are we trained to read x-rays from a "medical perspective", we also view the x-rays from a

biomechanical standpoint.  This is usually the missing link in diagnosing and correcting musculoskeletal pain.

Chronic use of pain killers and anti-inflammatories actually leads to more degeneration and disability.  Pain is a built-in mechanism to tell you something is wrong.  If a person constantly masks the pain with pain-killers, he/she will try to do more activities that they would not normally do without the medication. This promotes more damage to soft tissue.  It simply 

Band-Aids the condition.
