Techniques we use at Upright Chiropractic
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustment is a manual technique aimed at improving the function of the spine and nervous system. By applying controlled, precise force to specific joints, this technique helps to correct misalignments, relieve pain, and improve overall mobility. Chiropractic adjustments can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, from back and neck pain to headaches and joint issues. At Upright Chiropractic, we tailor each adjustment to your individual needs, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to relieve muscle tension and pain. By inserting fine needles into specific trigger points in the muscle, this method helps to release tightness, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on Western medicine principles and is particularly effective for treating muscle pain, sports injuries, and chronic conditions. Our experienced team at Upright Chiropractic uses dry needling as part of a comprehensive approach to managing pain and improving function.
IASTM (Graston Technique)
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), commonly known as the Graston Technique, is a specialized form of soft tissue therapy. This technique involves using stainless steel instruments to massage and break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. IASTM can help with a variety of conditions, including tendonitis, muscle strains, and chronic pain. At Upright Chiropractic, we incorporate IASTM into treatment plans to accelerate recovery and improve soft tissue function.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a technique focused on relieving pain and tension in specific areas of the muscle. Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots within muscle tissue that can cause pain in other parts of the body. By applying direct pressure to these points, trigger point therapy helps to release tension, reduce pain, and improve muscle function. This technique is especially useful for treating chronic pain, headaches, and muscular tightness. At Upright Chiropractic, we use trigger point therapy as part of a holistic approach to pain management and overall well-being.
