NEUROMUSCULAR ASSESSMENT AND EXAMINATION
The only way to fully treat a particular complaint or issue is to determine the root cause of the symptoms you are having and formulate a diagnosis accordingly. After taking a detailed history, we thoroughly examine each patient using a combination of Muscle Testing, Orthopedic Exams, and Range-of-Motion (ROM) Assessments. Discovering patterns of muscular weakness, reduced ROM, and positive/negative orthopedic exams allows us to piece together your diagnosis and formulate the most effective plan to bring you not only long term relief, but peace of mind.
SPECIALIZED MANUAL THERAPY
This particular aspect of treatment is arguably the most important and represents the primary difference between the techniques utilized at this office and those utilized by most or “traditional” chiropractors. There is simply no scenario that consists of you getting your back, hip, or neck “cracked” a few times and then being “fixed”. At PMP we use specialized manual therapy such as Myofascial Active Release and Muscle Energy Techniques which will improve faulty biomechanics and allow your body to move as efficiently as possible, which in turn will reduce pain and inflammation.
MUSCLE SCRAPING /IASTM
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (or IASTM) is a technique that is used by many health care professionals in the realm of Sports Medicine, particularly when it comes to treating muscular stiffness and reduced range-of-motion. IASTM refers to a technique whereby a medical professional uses a specific instrument to “scrape” muscle tissue/fascia, which acts to reduce muscular adhesions and scar tissue.
Chiropractic Manipulation
Chiropractic Adjustments or Manipulation is essentially the gold standard of traditional chiropractic care. This procedure involves the doctor using his or her hands to implement a controlled force into a joint or group of joints, with the intent of improving the amount of movement within the joint or joints in question. Properly implemented adjustments act to temporarily improve movement/mobility, reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and improve neurological function overall.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression happens to be another staple of Chiropractic care in general and can be highly effective with regards to treating more serious or established cases of neck and back pain. Precision Mobility and Performance specifically utilizes ‘Cox Flexion/Distraction and Decompression’, which uses a state-of-the-art decompression table specific to the Cox Technique. This intervention combines traction with flexion and/or lateral flexion, entirely dependent on what your specific situation calls for. This is one of the most effective methods of treating neck and back pain by a margin, and does so without any “cracking”.
MYOFASCIAL DECOMPRESSION (CUPPING)​
Cupping Therapy is a therapeutic technique that dates back thousands of years and has evolved over time to be used for a variety of issues and ailments. In this particular space it is used to reduce pain and inflammation by improving the mobility and function of particular tissues and joints. We do this by placing cups on a particular portion of a muscle or tendon and having the individual move through certain range-of-motion planes unique to that specific area.
