Why Our Atlanta Chiropractor Prescribes Complementary Therapies

You may already be aware that our Atlanta chiropractor at Century Chiropractic, Dr. Simon, makes use of a wide range of chiropractic methods, including Thompson Drop, Activator, Gonstead and flexion distraction techniques, to deliver the most effective adjustments for different medical needs. But our services do not stop there; Dr. Simon also prescribes a variety of other natural, non-invasive treatment methods in support of chiropractic care. These complementary therapies include:

• Hydro massage - This remarkable form of massage therapy uses jets of warm water to soothe and loosen tight muscle groups, accelerate tissue healing and improve circulation. But because the water is encased in a rubberized compartment that you lie on, you stay completely dry.
• Electrical muscle stimulation - If you suffer from muscle spasms that cause back pain or other discomforts, electrical muscle stimulation can bring drug-free relief. Tiny electrical signals sent to electrodes attached to the trouble area eases spasms and inflammation.
• Therapeutic exercises - Stretches and other corrective exercises are often an important part of the healing process when you're rehabilitating an acute injury, ensuring your that regain strength and flexibility while avoiding the development of internal scarring. Physical therapy may be also be necessary if you have sustained muscle atrophy from sciatica or some other neurological problem.
• Heat & cold therapy - These forms of physiotherapy are highly effective at treating the soft tissue problems. Heat application can boost blood flow and release chronic or acute muscle tension, while ice is useful for reducing pain and swelling in an injury.
• Lifestyle counseling - Lifestyle counseling from our Atlanta chiropractor can help you modify practices that make your more vulnerable to spinal misalignment or other health problems. These modifications may include weight loss, dietary changes, ergonomic adjustments in the workplace or adopting a regular exercise routine.
