Physical Therapy Fletcher Chiropractic
The first stage of the chiropractic approach is known as passive care. During this time, our goal is to deliver customized adjustments to reduce pain and inflammation.
The second stage of a corrective program is called active care. This approach involves specific exercises combined with adjustments. Our goal is to optimize spinal stability, improve posture and reduce the possibility of re-injury. We want our patients to be able to perform at an optimal level.
Who Can Benefit from Rehabilitation?
Almost anyone can benefit from therapeutic exercise. It’s been our experience that a majority of patients have weak core muscles. Weak musculature leads to injury, imbalance and dysfunction.
We see many practice members suffering from low back injuries, neck pain, upper back pain, knee pain, and hip and shoulder instability. Postural abnormalities are also common.
The patients of Fletcher Chiropractic are given the opportunity to be a member of our highly- regarded posture program. The program involves attendance on a once a week basis for eight weeks. A Doctor or Physical Therapist will work closely with you to make sure that you achieve the right degree of postural change.
Comparative pictures in front of a grid are taken at the beginning of care, and at the midpoint and endpoint. The visual changes are uniquely apparent; the end result is rewarding.
We often send patients home with specific exercises to carry out during the week. The exercises are designed to help you with your unique areas of instability. The more compliant you are, the greater the result.
Some of the equipment we use includes
- Stability balls : The use of stability balls helps to develop good muscle tone for the entire body. They help to rehabilitate back, knee and hip injuries, while improving core stability, posture and muscle balance.
- Resistance bands : Resistance bands tone, strengthen and stretch muscle tissue.
- Wobble boards : Wobble boards improve balance, functional strength and mental focus.
