Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuro-musculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches. Patients have different needs, depending on what stage of pain and discomfort they are in. After having a thorough Consultation and Examination with Dr. Randhawa he will be able to recommend the best plan of action to get you t your optimal health potential. Diversified Technique
Spinal manipulation involves ‘retraining’ the spine and surrounding muscles to adapt to a healthier state of functionality. Dr. Randhawa will use his hands to place force on specific joints with the goal of placing them back into correct alignment, restore normal range of motion and take pressure off of surrounding muscles and ligaments. Thompson Technique
Uses a ‘drop table’ for adjustment, where a gentle thrust is applied to the joints, which in turn, sets the drop piece into motion and targets the specific joint or tissue. Activator Technique
The Activator technique aims to restore the body by correcting vertebral and pelvic misalignments using an Activator instrument to push and set the joints back into the correct position. Corrective Exercises
Patients are taught the special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health. Weight Loss/Nutritional Counseling
Specific recommendations on healthy food choices and nutritional supplements to enhance the patient´s return to optimal health. Dr. Randhawa can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs. Neuromuscular Reeducation
Neuromuscular reeducation is a therapeutic technique that is used to improve; Balance, Coordination, Posture and Proprioception (sense of body position). Treatment may include balance exercises and wobble chair training. Another form of treatment is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) - an assisted stretching technique alternating between contracting and relaxing the muscles. Intersegmental Traction
The Intersegmental traction table mobilizes the spinal column while simultaneously and gently stretching ligaments and muscles. Intersegmental traction increases blood flow and oxygen to discs, ligaments and muscles, thereby improving balance, strength and mobility. Research shows that by putting your spine through this type of motion, you not only increase the range of motion of your spine but you pump the discs that are between the vertebrae of the spine. Other benefits of chiropractic care include:
Improved muscle flexibility and joint mobility. Greater feelings of relaxation and comfort.
