SERVICES
If you are experiencing pain, we want to help! We are dedicated to helping patients regain pain-free lives. Oftentimes, people do not seek help for pain until it worsens. We want to help at the onset of symptoms, so they do not progress.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE
We specialize in correcting your body’s misalignments. Our goal is to ensure that your spine and the rest of your body are working harmoniously. To do so, we will help you develop a plan that will require light stretching, some exercise, chiropractic care, and a healthy diet.
corrective exercises
There are numerous reasons why people seek the help of a chiropractor. One of the most common reasons is chronic pain. This type of pain develops due to issues surrounding flexibility, mobility, and muscle balance. With the help of corrective exercises, our chiropractor, Dr. Hines, at Ahead of the Cure Chiropractic will work hard to make sure that you feel relieve from your pain or discomfort.
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
The feet are the foundation of the body. They provide the necessary stability to perform daily activities by supporting the weight of the entire body. If there is insufficient or inadequate support from your feet, the body will misalign causing pain and other symptoms throughout the bocy. Foot Leveler Orthotics is the only patented, clinically proven, custom orthotic with the 3 Arch advantage. Make an appointment for a FREE foot scan!
ELECTRICAL STIMULTATION
Electric muscle stimulation is one of the chiropractic care services provided at Ahead of the Curve Chiropractic. This method of treatment provides numerous benefits and can be particularly helpful when recovering from an injury. The treatment modality works by having a machine deliver a safe, low-level electrical current via nodes attached to the affected area. Placement, level of charge, and depth of the nodes will all depend on the area of the body being treated and our chiropractor: Dr. Hines, will create a personalized treatment regimen for you and your specific needs.
INFRARED THERAPY
Infrared therapy uses infrared light to penetrate the skin, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and easing pain. It is a non-invasive therapy used to treat a variety of conditions including muscle strain, joint pain, and arthritis. Infrared heat increases blood circulation, which can accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
Instrument Adjustment with Arthrostim
Arthrostim is a handheld chiropractic adjustment tool that delivers rapid, gentle impulses to the affected area, helping to realign the spine and other joints. This technique is ideal for patients who may be uncomfortable with manual adjustments or who require a gentler approach. The instrument allows for controlled, targeted adjustments with minimal discomfort.
KINESIO TAPING
Kinesiology Taping is a precise rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints. This technique allows the body’s normal range of motion as well as providing extending soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting. Kinesio tape is latex-free and hypoallergenic which makes it “skin friendly” for patients with sensitive or fragile skin; such as, patients with diabetes, fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis.
LIFESTYLE ADVICE
Our team here at Ahead of the Curve Chiropractic is dedicated to helping you achieve your long-term health and wellness goals by offering you reliable lifestyle advice. If you are not sure if the lifestyle choices you are making are worsening or improving your condition, we are here to help. We address the typical chiropractic issues as well as coach our patients to live a healthier life by looking at the individual as a whole mentally, physically and emotionally.
MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s health and well-being. There are many types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities). People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons; for example, to reduce stress and anxiety, to relax muscles, to rehabilitate injuries, to reduce pain and to promote overall health and wellness.
NUTRITIONAL CONSULTATIONS
Here at Ahead of the Curve Chiropractic we want to help you on your journey towards health and wellness. Our goal is to help you achieve total health and balance with your body. In order to achieve that goal, we are here to offer specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to help you maintain a healthy weight.
PEDIATRIC CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic care is not just for adults. In fact, more and more parents are seeing the many benefits of their children seeing a chiropractor every single day. Some of the benefits are improved sleep, improved behavior and attitude, and improved immune system function. Children encounter many physical stresses in their life that you may not realize. These stresses can cause your child’s spine to have issues in growth and development.
PRE/POST NATAL CHIROPRACTIC
Here at Ahead of the Curve Chiropractic, we offer a conservative approach to treating pregnant women. Our prenatal care is gentle and safe. We aim to alleviate the stress and strains of pregnancy while improving comfort for both the mother and baby. We understand the physical changes that come with pregnancy, and we offer relief without using any drugs.
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound therapy is a chiropractic treatment used to help reduce muscle pain and increase range of motion. By using sound waves, we are able to stimulate deep inside the tissue. This minimizes stiffness, swelling, and pain while also promoting circulation, and pain-free movement.
THOMPSON TECHNIQUE
The Thompson Technique is a chiropractic adjustment method that uses a specially designed table to enhance the precision and ease of spinal corrections. Known as a drop table, sections of the table drop slightly when a thrust is applied, minimizing the force required for the adjustment and enhancing comfort for the patient. This technique is especially useful for patients sensitive to traditional manual adjustments.
VIBRATION TRACTION
Vibration Traction is a method of spinal decompression and muscle relaxation. It combines gentle stretching with vibrational pulses, which helps to reduce pressure on the spine, relax tight muscles, and improve mobility. This technique is often used to alleviate chronic pain, tension, or discomfort in the neck and back.
XRAYS
One of the most important elements of chiropractic care is diagnostics. Chiropractic radiology is a tool utilized in care as a diagnostic practice to rule out pathology (such as possible tumor or fracture) and/or an additional aid to determine where to adjust the spine. Chiropractors rely on a variety of diagnostic techniques in order to fully understand what is occurring in the patient’s musculoskeletal system, and how a given treatment intervention could bring about positive results in each patient.
