advanced non-surgical approach

Cox® Technic is evidence-based spinal manipulation with a rich history of clinical and biomechanical research efforts performed in laboratories with federal grants and in private practices. The procedure is staged on a specialized table created by Dr. Cox and performed by only those certified in the areas of cervical, thoracic and lumbar. Practitioners are very excited about the results of this technique to show what is possible with non-surgical chiropractic spine care for many spine conditions. Cox® Technic flexion distraction is spinal manipulation, spinal decompression, an alternative to back surgery for many and ultimately, a relief from pain.

Chiropractic Adjustment relieves pain and improves a body’s physical function. LMC’s chiropractic adjustments are performed by a certified chiropractic doctor.

Active Release Technique (ART) is a system of movement based on stretching techniques that treat pain quickly and often permanently. At LMC, ART Techniques are performed by a licensed Chiropractor who has been specially trained in this area.

Dry Needling is based on western neuroanatomy and modern scientific study of the musculoskeletal and nervous system. Dry needling is used to: cause relaxation through disruption of the motor endplate; elicit a local healing response in the dysfunctional pain tissue; and stimulate neural pathways and cause a local chemically mediated response to block pain messages and pathways. Dry needling is used along with therapy to treat: tendonitis, post-surgical pain, post traumatic injuries, motor vehicle accidents and work related injuries, chronic pain conditions, headaches and whiplash, and low back pain. This technique is performed by a board-certified and licensed chiropractor.

Cupping Therapy is a form of alternative healing that was used by the Egyptians in 1,550 BC. Cups are placed on the skin to create suction to that area, which mobilizes blood flow and promotes healing of a broad range of medical ailments.

Graston Technique is an evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that is successful in treating chronic, acute, and post-surgical soft tissue conditions. This technique decreases overall treatment time, enables faster rehabilitation time, and resolves chronic conditions thought to be permanent.

E-Stim is used to stimulate injured muscles. It has been found to be effective in the management of acute, as well as chronic musculoskeletal pain and post-operative pain.

Ultrasound (high frequency sound waves) is used to deliver energy that is transformed into heat to specific locations. This technique generally produces a pain relieving effect on the sensory nerves to the involved tissues. Ultrasound is effective in sending therapeutic levels of heating to areas in the body covered by thick layers of tissue.

Therapeutic Exercises are recommended for the following: management of sub-acute and chronic joint limitations; increasing range of motion; training and strengthening injured muscles; speeding healing through increased blood flow; and enhancing overall muscle tone and performance.
