Extremity Rehabilitation
Beyond
the spine, our doctors have spent hundreds of post-graduate
hours learning the latest techniques and have earned
certifications qualifying them as extremity rehabilitation
specialists. The term “extremity rehabilitation”
refers to therapy to the: ribs, shoulders, elbows,
wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. To evaluate
an extremity, we perform muscle testing to evaluate
the function of the joint stabilizing muscles, joint
orthopedic testing, and x-ray examination (when necessary).
Treatment protocols include: Chiropractic extremity
adjusting, myofascial release (i.e. Active Release
Technique), low level laser therapy, bracing and taping,
and specific rehabilitative exercises. By approaching
extremity conditions in a very systematic fashion,
we have helped hundreds of patients function better
with less pain. Please let us know if you have a specific
problem beyond the spine so that we can evaluate it
properly and address the cause.
