All treatments performed by our experienced chiropractors are safe, holistic and natural. Our clients prefer these methods over costly surgeries and addictive pain medications. Our chiropractic clinic serving Albany, Georgia focuses on correcting spinal misalignments and easing muscle tension around the injured vertebral body and coupling this treatment with diet and exercise to aid with weight loss and overall healing. Our goal to help each patient make a full recovery so they can return to their normal lifestyle. Chiropractic Manipulations and Adjustments are used to help correct the structural alignment of the spine, while improving the body's physical functionality. Some of the techniques our Chiropractors use include: Spinal Adjustment. Spinal Adjustment is used to correct the misalignment of the vertebrae of the spine to help eliminate pain in the surrounding area. Spinal Decompression. This technique uses negative pressure applied by a chiropractor to put bulging and herniated discs back into their correct position. Ergonomics Training. During your treatment with us, our chiropractor may recommend some modifications to your workstation or change the position you are sleeping in at night to correct some of the posture issues that are causing you pain. Electrical Muscle Stimulation Therapy. Another therapy that our Albany office utilizes is electrical stimulation therapy. Electrical Muscle Stimulation involves pulsing electrical currents being sent into the muscles to help relieve tension. Instrument-Assisted Manipulation. This treatment uses a spring-loaded instrument to allow your chiropractor to apply force without manually thrusting into the spine. Myofascial Relief - Myofascial release is an alternative medicine therapy that can look similar to acupuncture which helps treat skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles and improving blood and lymphatic circulation to given areas of the body. Flexion-Distraction Technique. A gentle, hands-on spinal manipulation that uses a pumping action on the intervertebral disc instead of direct force. Pelvic Stabilization Drills. When leg length deficiency, subtalar instability, and flat feet are present, Dr. Mitchell may prescribe you a specialized piece of footwear to correct the discrepancy. This may also involve a series of exercises that strengthen the muscles responsible for posture.
