- Chiropractic Adjustments6. Tectonic Fixation: Inability of fascial surfaces to glide – When patients complain that their joint is stiff, they are describing a tectonic fixation. Thrusting manipulations (as performed by chiropractic adjustments or osteopathic high velocity manipulation, as well as orthopedic manipulation under general anesthesia) are typical current and widely practiced methods of correcting tectonic fixations. However, in the FDM other manipulative, non-manipulative, medical and surgical approaches are being designed and applied so that even the most stubborn frozen shoulders or stiff backs can be quickly and adequately treated.
- Manipulation TherapyElastic therapeutic taping, often called the Kinesio Taping Method, is a therapeutic and rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion. It also can provide extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered by our doctors during your visit. This method successfully treats a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and other medical conditions, and it not only offers the support patients are looking for, but also rehabilitation of the affected condition as well. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, the taping method alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting effect forms convolutions in the skin, thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation of the affected areas.
- Myofascial TherapyREAD MORE Always check the ART website ( www.activerelease.com ) to ensure that your practioner is currently certified and qualified in Active Release Techniques. Many practioners say they do ART or Myofascial release. However, you the patient or end user need to ensure that you are receiving the best and most current treatments.
- Therapeutic ExerciseCorrective exercise or therapeutic exercises are designed to address and correct deficiencies that deviate from normal ranges. Most people have been programmed to believe that they need to strengthen the area of concern or injury to heal or prevent any subsequent injuries to the area. This may be the case for some people, but what if you had an injury that prevented the normal contraction or lengthening of a muscle? Or worse yet, an adhesion that literally had two muscles sticking together? Would strengthening the area with weights resolve or make the muscles stronger? Common sense would suggest you need to resolve the soft tissue issues first, using a soft muscle technique like ART. Once the soft tissue injury is resolved, any corrective exercise will be better accepted and produce the results the participant was looking for. The goal is to restore normal muscle function, normal range of motion, and improve strength. We achieve this with our patients with the correct programs at the right time.
