Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound is a therapeutic modality used by physical therapists since the 1940s. Ultrasound is applied using a wand or probe in direct contact with the patient’s skin. As it heats the tissue it has been shown to increase in tissue relaxation, local blood flow, and scar tissue breakdown.
More blood flow can reduce swelling and chronic inflammation and may help heal bone fractures. The strength of the ultrasound can be adjusted based on the desired outcome.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light.
Cold laser therapy is called "cold" because its low light levels don't heat body tissue. The level of light is low when compared to other forms of laser therapy, such as those used to destroy tumors and coagulate tissue. Surgical and aesthetic lasers heat the tissue being treated. True to its name, cold laser therapy does not.
During this procedure, different wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area. The body tissue then absorbs the light. The red and near-infrared light cause a reaction, and the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration. Superficial tissue is usually treated with wavelengths from 600 to 700 nanometers (nm), while deeper tissue requires wavelengths from 780 to 950 nm. You will feel the laser on your skin, but it is painless and noninvasive. There will be no sound, vibration, or heat. Each treatment lasts only a few minutes.
Nutrition
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another or with drugs you are taking? Dr. Leah Foster can provide an optimal nutritional program based on your individual needs.
We have access to pharmaceutical grade supplements through Standard Process vitamins. Their time-tested formulas with whole food ingredients provide safe, effective, high-quality nutritional support. They are available only through health care professionals and are designed to promote a better quality of life for patients.
Corrective Exercises
We teach our patients specific exercises to strengthen and fix their unique issues. These exercises can be done at home and improve spinal correction. Besides skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be strained by improper use. Targeted exercises and stretches can help keep your body balanced and healthy.
Pregnancy Care
Websters Protocol
Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association developed this adjustment as a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function. It was developed to restore normal physiological function of the mother and improve her comfort throughout pregnancy in preparation for a safer, easier birth. He reported that in women who presented with a breech baby, the results of the adjustment appeared to normalizepelvic neuro-biomechanics and facilitate optimal fetal positioning. As he taught other doctors of chiropractic this adjustment, they too reported positive changes in baby positioning.
In this clinical and theoretical framework, it is proposed that sacral misalignment may cause the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. It is these tense muscles and ligaments and their aberrant effect on the uterus which may prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth.
