Rehab & Manual Therapy

Rehab & Manual Therapy in Holland

The doctors at our wellness center believe that additional therapies are an essential part of your overall well-being, as well as a complement to our other chiropractic services. Therapy can aid in healing, relieve pain, plus increase strength and stabilization. Based on your medical necessity, your doctor and the qualified therapists at our practice will determine a course of treatment tailored to your specific condition or injury.

During your therapy our therapist will work on your muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, fascia & other areas pertinent to the therapy you are receiving. Manual therapy can help you recover faster and perform better.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy focuses on the affected area by increasing your range of motion & flexibility, as well as building strength & endurance. Your session could include the following:

Active Isolated Stretching

a technique of muscle lengthening and fascial release. A type of athletic stretching that provides functional and physiological restoration of both superficial and deep muscles.

Cold Laser Therapy (LLLT)

a tool used to reduce pain and inflammation. It regenerates tissues at a cellular level while also helping to speed up the tissue’s ability to heal itself.

E-Stim

a tool used to provide relief by utilizing electrical impulses to prevent pain signals from reaching the brain.

Rapid Release

tool used to help loosen up muscles that are tight or in spasm.

Soft Tissue Mobilization

a technique used to break up inelastic or fibrous muscle tissue such as scar tissue, move tissue fluids and relax muscle tension.

Thermotherapy

a technique that involves applying heat to a localized or general area of the body using hot stones or bamboo. The result is a relaxing treatment that soothes even the deepest of muscle bringing comfort and relaxation.

Trigger Point Therapy

a technique of relieving stored stress in specific spots in the body known as trigger points (knots), which can cause pain. By holding pressure on these areas the tightness and pain can be relieved.

Ultrasound

a tool used to warm tissue, increase blood flow and reduce pain in specific muscles.

Whole Body Vibration

Whole body vibration increases strength, dexterity and endurance. This physical rehabilitation technique works and challenges your muscles in small, rapid vertical and horizontal motions. This motion excites stretch receptors and tendon reflexes in joints, promoting increased receptor activity and safely challenges balance and coordination.

Assisted Exercises

In addition to manual therapy, your doctor may determine that you would benefit from assisted exercise. Assisted Exercise can also help build strength, endurance, flexibility, and range of motion. You will enjoy personalized attention during your session which may include:

Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping provides support without restricting the range of motion, helping to prevent overstretching and over-contraction of affected muscles. This form of treatment helps to relieve acute and chronic pain, reduces swelling and inflammation and improves circulation to injured areas helping you to heal faster. It can even enhance the strength of injured or under-toned muscles to prevent further injury.
