Regardless of why they come to us, every new patient we see starts off in the same way. We perform a thorough assessment including orthopedic testing, neurologic testing, and a functional assessment. Orthopedic tests look for issues within a patients joints and skeletal structure. Neurological testing examines nerves, reflexes, motor strength and coordination. Finally, functional assessments allow us to test your movement and note any restrictions or limitations. All of these tests help our team discover if there are any seemingly unrelated areas that are contributing to your symptoms. From there, we can make a treatment plan that best suits your individual needs.
Our Treatments
Everyone is different, which is why we offer a wide variety of treatment options. Your unique needs and issues will determine your course of treatment. Below are some of the more common types of chiropractic treatments we utilize for our patients
Chiropractic Adjustments
This treatment is what most people associate with chiropractors. While the manual adjustment is one of the most commonly utilized forms of adjusting at Motus, our chiropractors are trained in other methods of adjusting as well. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure you have a great experience within your comfort levels. So if you are nervous with manual adjustments, our doctors are trained in many other ways to adjust your spine and extremities. Some utilize instruments that elicit a gentle mechanical impulse to the joint or there are other table assisted methods that can derive the same treatment results.
IASTM
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is known under a number of different names. Regardless of what the treatment is labeled as, it utilizes specialized stainless steel tools and instruments to detect and treat issues such as build ups of scar tissue, muscle restrictions, and issues with the fascia and other connective tissues.The instruments allow the chiropractor to apply localized pressure in a way that they can’t do with their hands alone.
Myofascial Release
This treatment involves applying gentle, targeted pressure to the connective tissues in order to release and relax tight skeletal muscles and connective tissues, resulting in improved mobility and movement and decreased pain.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Soft tissue mobilization can be done with the use of instruments (as mentioned above) or manually (also known as hands-on release). Regardless of the method, soft tissue mobilization helps to break down scar tissue and increase the flow of oxygen to the area, promoting healing and reducing the risk of further injury.
