Exercise

Therapeutic exercise involves movement prescribed to correct impairments, restore muscular and skeletal function and/or maintain a state of well-being[1]. Therapeutic exercise is a type of physical activity used to treat or prevent injuries and improve functional outcomes.

Flexion Distraction

Flexion-distraction therapy is gentle and non-invasive chiropractic care designed to relieve back pain and discomfort. This type of therapy uses a specialized table that gently stretches and decompresses the spine, helping to reduce pressure on the discs, nerves, and other structures in the back. The therapy is conducted by a chiropractor and is gentle enough to be used even for patients who have chronic pain or are recovering from a recent injury. Flexion-distraction therapy is non-invasive, safe for even those with chronic pain. It can help relieve various conditions, including herniated discs, degenerative disc conditions, Sciatica, and more. If you’re experiencing back pain.

HydroMassage

Hydromassage is a therapeutic technique involving the use of water and pressurized jets to help massage muscles and other soft tissues in the body. A peer reviewed 2012 study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22806987/) of hydrotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis treatment found a correlation between hydrotherapy intervention and a patient’s mood and pain scores in contrast to no intervention.

Neuropathy

Neurapathy is different for different patients and differing causes such as diabetes, smoking, chemical or physical trauma. Treatment of this condition involves testing of blood and nerve function as well as imaging. Treatments include a mixture of chiropractic, physical therapy, nutriton, targeted therapies such as red light and extracorporeal shockwave, as well as lifestyle changes.

Physical Therapy

Treatment of the body’s soft tissues, muscle, nerves, connective tissue through a combination of conditioning, stimulation, myofascial release, and stretching. Conditioning injured or weak muscles uses specific exercises with specific frequencies and increasing intensity. Stimulation is accomplished through electrical, sound, light and temperature change modalities.

Shockwave

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (EWST) is a non-invasive treatment. This treatment initiates biological regeneration processes at the cellular level to stimulate remodeling of blood vessels, reduction of inflammation molecules and the stimulation of new and healthy tissue.

Spinal Decompression

Non surgical spinal decompression relieves pain by taking pressure off pain generating nerves. Pressure is often caused by herniated or bulging disks, spinal degeneration, pinched nerves, foraminal and spinal stenosis. Moving vehicle accidents often lead to these conditions.

Thermal

Cold packs are applied to injuries within the first 72 hours to reduce and control inflamation and acute pain. Hot packs are applied to injuries to relax muscles, reduce chronic pain, and increase vasodialation and blood flow which accelerates tissure repair

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible Care and Instant Knee Relief!
After a year of chronic knee pain from pickleball, I visited Dr. Cox for shockwave therapy. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain how the shockwave technology works and what to expect during the application. His detailed explanations completely put me at ease
The treatment itself worked like magic. I experienced instant relief and played pickleball pain-free that same night. I can finally bend my knee and get into my Jeep without any discomfort after playing for 2 hours.
Dr. Cox combines amazing patient care with a highly effective treatment. I cannot recommend him or shockwave therapy enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience at Insight Chiropractic. I came in with hip pain at a 10/10, and after my adjustment, it immediately dropped to a 5/10. The relief was noticeable right away. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. Excellent service and a great team—I highly recommend Insight Chiropractic!
