Customized treatments
with the right touch
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.
Relaxing the body
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.
Active release
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
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.
Spinal adjustments
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!
Prescription orthotics
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.
