Muscle Therapy in Indianapolis IN

Nerve irritation occurs as a result of subluxations (misaligned vertebrae) and muscle spasms. In conjunction with adjustments, muscle therapy in Indianapolis IN helps relieve nerve irritation and allows your nervous system to function at its best!

Our Unique Approach in Indianapolis IN

• Arthrostim - The Arthrostim is a tool that can be utilized for chiropractic adjustments as well as muscle therapy. Trigger points (the "knots" of muscle that lead to pain, decreased range of motion, and other symptoms) are relieved with the Arthrostim. By relieving these trigger points, our adjustments will last longer and muscle spasms will decrease, resulting in decreased pain and an increase in mobility.
• Cold Therapy - You may have heard the acronym "R.I.C.E." in the sports realm referring to the sequence of events for the treatment of a sprain/strain injury. Applying ice to an acute sprain/strain of the spinal muscles and ligaments is very beneficial. By applying cold therapy, we create a decrease in excess inflammation of the affected area, which allows the body to heal more effectively.
• Heat Therapy - Following the acute phase of care, the body can begin to restore its optimum health. By relaxing the muscles of the spine with moist heat therapy prior to or following an adjustment, we not only see a decrease in pain, but also an increase in the range of motion in the body's joints.
• Mechanical Traction - Mechanical traction on our intersegmental traction table keeps your spine mobile. Following acute and sub-acute phases of care, mechanical traction is a great way to keep you on track with your spinal mobility
• Exercise Consultant - Mobility is the key to a healthy lifestyle! Keeping the spine mobile is our role as your chiropractor. We will provide you with exercises specific to your condition to help you increase your range of motion and achieve a higher quality of life.
