Services
At Cole Pain Therapy Group, we take great pride in providing modern chiropractic care to our patients. Below is a brief review of the various services and protocols used to treat conditions of the spine, joints, muscles, and nerves.
Chiropractic Manipulation Therapy
Chiropractic medicine is well-known for spinal manipulation (aka spinal adjustment). The purpose of a series of manipulations of a joint in the spine, or any other part of the body, is to restore normal joint motion. Treatments are gentle and remarkably effective for relieving pain and improving function.
Corrective Exercises
We teach our specific exercises designed just for our patients to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the clinic and in the comfort of your own home. While there are thousands of different exercises and techniques, we focus on your "top 3" that are most effective for your stage of healing. Your doctor will periodically update your "top 3" exercise movements in accordance with your improvement.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients and give advice on ways you can support your health. 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 patient is a whole person, and improving one's health is a collaborative effort between health professional and patients.
Nutritional Counseling
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices that are designed to reduce inflammation and improve tissue healing. Our focus is on keeping things simple, enjoying healthy foods, and taking the stress out of vitamin and supplement decisions.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release by one of our several manual therapists on staff involves gently pressing and kneading the muscle and soft tissue to release congested toxins. This removes muscular tension and relaxes the affected area. The benefits of manual therapy include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aiding in recovery and range of motion.
Therapeutic Modalities
Various combinations of these tools affect the swelling and inflammation that is common to injuries and other mechanical pain conditions:
- Therapeutic Ultrasound
- Interferential electrical muscle stimulation
- Cryotherapy
- Moist heat therapy
