Your Body Redefined.
Chiropractic Manipulation
and chiropractic mobilization techniques, also known as adjustments, are an important part of rehabilitative care for individuals experiencing pain, stiffness, or decreased range of motion. Because the joints throughout the body work together, restricted movement in one joint can affect surrounding areas and contribute to pain or injury.
Myofascial Release Therapy
also known as soft tissue therapy, is a hands-on treatment that targets the fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and surrounding joints. It can be especially helpful for addressing muscle tension, knots, and trigger points that may develop from trauma, inflammation, surgery, or poor posture. Pressure is adjusted based on each patient’s tolerance and needs. Some soreness or tenderness may occur following treatment.
IASTM
is an acronym for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. This technique uses an instrument to improve range of motion and decrease pain caused by scar tissue and adhesions.
The instrument effectively breaks down fascial restrictions and causes controlled micro trauma to affected soft tissue structures. This technique causes reabsorption of unnecessary fibrosis or scar tissue and facilitates healing. There also appears to be a neurologic benefit to treating patients with this therapy.
Shockwave Therapy
uses a handheld device to deliver targeted acoustic waves into the affected tissue. These mechanical pulses stimulate the area and may support blood flow, tissue remodeling, and the body’s natural healing response, making it useful for certain persistent tendon and soft-tissue conditions. It is commonly used as part of rehabilitation for persistent tendon and soft tissue conditions, including plantar fasciitis, tennis or golfer’s elbow, and certain chronic muscle and tendon problems.
Cupping Therapy
uses specialized cups and suction to gently lift the skin and underlying tissues. This technique can help increase circulation, reduce muscle tension, and relieve tight muscles and trigger points.
At Body Forward Chiropractic, cupping is often combined with other treatments as part of a personalized approach to care. Mild soreness and temporary bruising can occur and typically resolve within several days.
Corrective Therapy
here at Body Forward Chiropractic, we provide personalized exercises and stretches targeting the specific muscles and areas that need improved flexibility, stability, strength, or mobility. Whether you are new to exercise or an experienced athlete, learning to properly activate and strengthen the right muscles can help address muscle imbalances, improve movement, and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Our goal is to re-educate and redevelop your body through targeted rehabilitation, combining exercise with other treatments to support the best possible recovery.
