Corrective Exercise
We teach our patients special “blueprint” exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health. To have great spine health, we require both great mobility of the spine and also great stability of the spine. At Oasis Chiropractic we offer some unique equipment and corrective exercises targeted to restore the muscles that stabilize and move the spine. One of these pieces of equipment is called a vibration platform. The platform shakes at a specific frequency that is designed to increase circulation, improve balance and proprioception, and strengthen core stabilizing muscles. Another unique piece of equipment that we offer is wall traction to improve neck strength and disc health. The third piece of equipment we utilize is called a wobble chair. The chair is specifically designed to improve and stretch the small muscles attached to the spine. This chair is perfect for people with low back pain or lumbar disc problems. One of the best things we can do to speed the healing of the low back is to improve circulation and nutrition by using this pumping motion. We see awesome results as people utilize these corrective exercises along with chiropractic care.
Lifestyle Advise
We often find it helpful to “coach” our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each of our patients is a whole person, and to help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients. At Oasis Chiropractic we offer more than just pain relief. If you have areas in your life that you would like to change and improve, we can help. Our lifestyle recommendations focus on three areas. First, we offer stretching and exercise routines for people who are trying to lose weight, get in shape or address a specific injury. Second, we offer vitamins and supplements to fill in the gaps of a patient’s diet. Let’s face it, does anyone have a perfect diet!? Vitamins can help balance out our nutritional deficiencies. And lastly, we offer diet plans for people who want to change the way they eat.
Rapid Release Technology
Designed as an alternative type of massage. It uses vibration at a very high frequency to break up scar tissue. Pain is often caused by continuous nerve messages sent to the brain. This over activity of the nerves is commonly caused by nerves being trapped in scar tissue formed around our joints from chronic wear and tear or direct trauma. High-speed Vibration Therapy is a breakthrough technology that targets the scar tissue in the joints to free the trapped nerves that are causing pain. Common areas that benefit from vibration therapy include shoulder injuries, elbow pain, knee pain, neck pain and back pain.
Baseline Concussion
Prevention is Key: When dealing with concussions, we are finding it is far more beneficial to prevent concussion than to try to fix the damage after the fact. At Oasis Chiropractic & Wellness Center we evaluate athletes with a baseline concussion test to have a starting point to compare the athlete to. Baseline Concussion Testing: It is important to have a qualified professional evaluate an athlete prior to competition so that if an incident occurs you will have a baseline to compare to. Without a baseline concussion test you will be guessing when the athlete is fully recovered. If an athlete returns to play too early after having a concussion that is when they are at a much higher risk. Second impact syndrome is a much more serious problem. Evaluation: When dealing with concussions, we are finding it is far more beneficial to prevent concussion than to try to fix the damage after the fact. At Oasis Chiropractic & Wellness Center we evaluate athletes with a baseline concussion test to have a starting point to compare the athlete to.
Car Accidents
We recommend that everyone who is in a car accident get their spine checked, especially if traveling you were traveling more than 8 miles per hour**. We will meet with you and discuss your best course of action to get your body working again. Sometimes care is as simple as showing you the correct stretches and exercises to do at home. If we can help you we will let you know and if we need to refer you for the additional care we can direct you in the correct direction. In addition to chiropractic, we work closely with massage therapists, physical therapist, MRI, acupuncture, neurologist, and an orthopedic specialist.
Instrument Massage
IASTM- Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization A skilled intervention that includes the use of specialized tools to manipulate the skin, myofascia, muscles, and tendons by various direct compressive stroke techniques. Utilizing a stainless steel instrument, we can detect and treat soft tissue disorders. Successful in effectively treating all types of soft tissue conditions, whether they are chronic, acute or post- surgical. It is the controlled micro trauma that facilitates a cascade of healing activities. (Basically a deep tissue massage with a specialized instrument.) Brings down treatment time and speeds healing! 15 minute session is equivocal to 60 minute massage of the area. Potential for bruising, not a goal but can be a side effect depending on tissue, severity, patient sensitivity. (Think about location of treatment, i.e. Weddings, photos, etc.) Drink extra water to flush toxins and prevent soreness. Here is list of some of the most common conditions treated: Ankle Pain (Achilles Tendinosis/itis) Wrist Pain (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) Neck Pain (Cervical Sprain/Strain) Headaches Fibromyalgia Hamstring Injuries Hip Pain IT Band (Iliotibial Band) Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) Back Pain (Lumbar Sprain/Strain) Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Knee Pain (Patellofemoral Disorders) Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis) Shoulder Pain (Rotator Cuff Tendinitis) Scar Tissue Trigger Finger Women’s Health (Post-Mastectomy and Caesarean Scarring) Contraindications: Open wound (unhealed suture site) Unhealed fracture Thrombophlebitis Uncontrolled hypertension Patient intolerance/hypersensitivity Hematoma Osteomyelitis Myositis Ossificans Hemophilia
