Sports and Family Chiropractic Care

Sports and Family Chiropractic Care Since 1995 Dr. Mike Mathey has been helping patients by treating neuromuscular/skeletal conditions o Pain changes everything.

I spend quality time with each patient and attend to your Chiropractic needs personally. I am very personable, easy-going, and enjoy providing health-improving treatment to my patients. Chiropractic treats the whole body not just what aches or hurts without drugs or surgery. Chiropractors use the integration of your muscles and joints, nerves, exercise instruction, nutrition, and stress management in treatment plans. Chiropractors recognize that many factors affect your health, including exercise, nutrition, sleep, environment, and heredity. Chiropractic focuses on maintaining your health naturally to help your body resist disease, rather than simply treating the symptoms of disease. Chiropractic care emphasizes joint health and attempts to optimize patients' range of motion. Chiropractic is a natural method of healing that stimulates the body's communication system to work more effectively to initiate, control, and coordinate the various functions of the cells, organs, and systems of the body. Chiropractic works by restoring your body's ability to be healthy. When under the proper control of your nervous system, all cells, tissues, and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and ill health. Chiropractic works to locate and remove interferences (subluxations, misaligned vertebrae) to your nervous system. Dr. Michael Mathey is a certified Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) practitioner. The NKT system is a great fit with the already natural healing process of Chiropractic, Treat the cause of dysfunction, not the symptoms. NeuroKinetic Therapy® corrective movement system addresses the cause of pain – dysfunctional movement patterns stored in the brain. NeuroKinetic Therapy® corrective movement system is a sophisticated bodywork modality that can be used as both an assessment and rehabilitative technique for low back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel, and other injuries. NeuroKinetic Therapy® corrective movement system is based on the premise that when an injury has occurred, certain muscles shut down or become inhibited, forcing other muscles to become overworked. By applying light pressure that the client then resists, the practitioner can evaluate the strength or weakness of each muscle, revealing the sources of injury and retraining the client’s body to remove the compensation patterns.

Dr. Michael Mathey is certified in Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)™. This adds yet another important diagnostic tool to the services available through Sports and Family Chiropractic Care. SFMA™ is a movement-based diagnostic system that finds the cause of pain - not just the source - by logically breaking down dysfunctional movement patterns in a structured, repeatable assessment. This concept is better known as regional interdependence - how seemingly unrelated problems are actually driving the dysfunction. This diagnostic system works well with chiropractic in working towards healing and pain relief without the use of drugs or surgery.

Dr. Michael Mathey is certified in Rocktape (Basic and Performance) techniques through Function Movement Techniques (FMT).

FMT Basic Kinesiology Taping Certification introduces the evidence-based approach to taping for pain*, enhancing fluid dynamics, posture, nerve entrapment, and scars. FMT Basic is an evidence-informed kinesiology taping course that redefines our understanding of the effects of elastic therapeutic taping on pain* mitigation, circulation, and proprioception. FMT Basic lays the groundwork for a practical framework of ‘taping movement, not muscles’ to replace an outdated model focused on directional taping to activate or inhibit muscles.

FMT Performance Kinesiology Taping Certification expands on the concepts taught in FMT BASIC and explores enhancing human movement and performance via functional taping methods (movement-based). The anatomy and physiology of myofascial lines are covered. Movement screening is used to determine dysfunction in specific anatomical planes of motion and how to apply tape in a manner that improves movement and function.

Ask Dr. Mathey about how kinesiology taping techniques may assist you.

Get Moving Again in the New Year
Starting to move again after being inactive is important, but it’s also important to do so safely.

Periods of inactivity can happen for a variety of reasons: illness, injury, surgical procedure, or simply a lack of exercise. Whatever the reason, many of us end the year having logged less movement and exercise time than we would have liked. The New Year offers a fresh start, but getting active after weeks or months of inactivity can be challenging.

Our bodies respond differently depending on our baseline fitness and level of inactivity, but there are some general effects that commonly occur due to inactivity. “Long-standing inactivity will lead to more fatigue, tiredness, and lethargy,” says Mathew DiMond, DC, a member of the American Chiropractic Association’s Council on Physiological Therapeutics and Rehabilitation. “Physiologically speaking, if you’re left for weeks, months, certainly years, that will create changes in baseline vital signs: resting heart rate, respiration, metabolic needs and demands. Depending on where you are in the lifespan, muscle fiber types can start to change, and that can be of detriment. In the more elderly population, decreasing load demands can have a negative impact on the quality of compact bone.”

For these reasons and more, it’s important to start moving again after a period of inactivity. Read on for tips on how to make that transition go smoothly.

Get Moving
Dr. DiMond’s first tip for getting active again is simple: just start. “First and foremost, you just have to start doing anything. Whatever it is that you’re willing to do,” he says. “It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you’re starting somewhere and you’re doing it. You have to do the thing that you’re going to be willing to do. Make it fun.”

Be Consistent
After getting started, the most important thing is consistency. “The human body, and the human mind for that matter, like normalcy,” Dr. DiMond explains. “Wherever you currently are is what your body likes to do. That initial effort can be monumental as a requirement to actually get going. Being consistent with it will create that habit that we’re ultimately going for. We want a habit of physical activity so that we can ensure that it’s embraced throughout the lifespan.”

Picking an activity that you enjoy can make a huge difference in your ability to remain consistent with your exercise. Dr. DiMond also recommends finding a way to stay accountable. “For example, one of the things I love so much about CrossFit is that there’s a huge social component to it. People like it so much because they get to do it with other people. There’s a community, and that really helps inspire, drive, and motivate people to focus on their health goals and move forward.”

Take It Slow
Starting to move again after being inactive is important, but it’s also important to do so safely. Overexerting yourself can lead to injury. Dr. DiMond says that after a period of inactivity, you should assume that your capacity for activity will be diminished. It’s important to be aware of your limits and focus on what works for you, rather than trying to compare yourself to anyone else or to your previous fitness level. It’s also important to be mindful of any pain you experience while exercising.

“You know your body,” Dr. DiMond says. “Pain is a good thing; it tells us that something is starting to be wrong. Not that you necessarily need to change, but you probably went a little too far. Back off and make sure that whatever it is you’re doing, you’re doing it at a comfortable level.”

Stay Motivated
Just as exercise can improve our mental health, inactivity can also have a mental impact. Like everything in our bodies, our mind is a tool and we have to keep it sharp. By not moving, you’re not challenging your brain to interact with its environment in new ways. Mental agility is about interacting with your environment in meaningful ways. Moving around and interacting with different people and environments help keep our minds agile.

The mental effects of inactivity can also come into play when you start moving again. Motivation can be a challenge for people who start to move after a period of inactivity. “Willpower is not enough,” Dr. DiMond says. “It’s not an endurance muscle. It’s something that can be used to get you started, but it’s definitely not going to be what keeps you going long term.”

What’s Your ‘What’?
Dr. DiMond encourages people to define their goals in terms of “what” instead of “why.” Ask yourself what you are trying to accomplish and create metrics based on that goal. Do you want to run a 5K? Do you want to walk your dog every day or be able to pick up your grandchild? Determine your “what” and set metrics to achieve it.

“An initial goal to start moving is great, but the motivation that gets you started won’t necessarily be the motivation that keeps you going. Reevaluating your goals and finding new ones can help keep moving you forward. It ultimately comes down to identity: how do you see yourself? What you tell yourself every day matters. Find the goals and the true spirit of what you’re trying to accomplish. But the bottom line is, just get started.”
