ACTIVE RELEASE | PRESSURE POINT THERAPY | SPINAL ADJUSTMENTS | Customized treatments At Brant Chiropractic, patients receive more than a quick “‘textbook”’ adjustment. Because every patient has individual problems, each treatment is customized. Dr. Pelletier takes the time to understand your specific concerns, and then determines the steps to take to help you manage pain or realize complete recovery. Each session includes soft tissue work prior to the adjustment. This involves pressing gently on specific pressure points and stretching the muscles to relax the body, making it more receptive to the adjustment. Adhesions in soft tissues can be caused by injury, repetitive motion and constant pressure or tension. Firm, massaging pressure is applied to the affected areas to work out adhesions, release any entrapped nerves or blood vessels and restore motion and function. Pressure point therapy offers relief to muscles that have contracted for long periods of time. Fixed in an involuntary holding pattern, the muscle can become the source of chronic nagging pain, which can radiate pain to other areas, cause muscle weakness and restrict your range of motion. Pressure point therapy involves a combination of pressure and movement to loosen and release the contracted muscle. The vertebrae in the spine are connected to form spinal joints. With trauma, repetitive motion, poor posture, or stress, the spinal joints will become “fixed” or “locked.” You may not feel any symptoms right away, but over time the nerves will become irritated causing tightened muscles, inflammation and eventually “pain.” Left unchecked over years, this process will lead to early spinal degeneration (arthritis.) If you have spinal pain or stiffness causing back pain, neck pain and headaches, adjustments will restore movement to the spine, eliminating nerve irritation. An adjustment is gentle, takes just minutes to perform, and is highly effective. You’ll feel a difference faster than you ever imagined possible! Sometimes the source of knee, hip and recurring low back pain may be your feet. Even if your feet are not sore, you may be a candidate for prescription orthotics. Orthotics are special inserts custom-made for your own shoes. They can be made to fit in virtually any type of footwear from runners to dress shoes to work boots. Dr. Pelletier will do a visual assessment of your feet and your walking patterns to determine if prescription orthotics can help with your ailments.
