Treatment Plan
You may need only one treatment but more than likely a course of treatment will be required. These usually start off at twice a week then are spread out. 6-12 treatments is consider quite normal, however the final treatments are much further apart to make sure the problems have gone and there have been no relapses.
Some people go on to wellness treatment plan where you may wish to come back on a regular basis depending on your needs. This reduces the chance of re occurrence and nips any other problems in the bud earl.
Modalities
Spinal Manipulation is a small therapeutic thrust performed on spinal articulations which are synovial joints; this is where a small audible click maybe heard. Manipulation is also known as an ‘adjustment’ or the term, high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) thrust. It takes locked/stiff joints through their normal range of motion to free movement and allow for natural range of movement.
Thumper which is a machine that vibrates through muscles to redistribute lactic acid (the muscles waste product) and soften up muscle fibres.
Dry Needling, is the treatment of trigger points for persons with myofascial pain syndrome, it is an invasive procedure in which a filiform (very fine) needle is inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point. A myofascial trigger point consists of multiple contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle. Dry needling helps remove these knots.
