Chiropractic

At our Tri-State Health Clinic, our chiropractor specializes in treating a wide range of conditions, including: Low back pain, Neck pain, Headaches, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Sciatica and more.

By decompressing joints, chiropractic adjustments restore normal movement and help break down scar tissue and adhesions that cause pain and inflammation. Our treatments focus on realigning the spine, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain for long-term relief and improved mobility.

Posture Correction

Proper posture is vital for daily activities, ensuring alignment, balance, and even weight distribution. Poor posture from prolonged sitting or repetitive movements causes muscle imbalances, leading to pain and injury. Correcting posture requires retraining the body, strengthening weak muscles, and loosening tight ones. Though challenging, it reduces pain, enhances movement, and prevents long-term complications, especially as the body ages.

Custom Rehab Programs

Custom rehabilitation programs focus on tailored exercises to restore function and mobility, addressing issues like muscle weakness, stiffness, or postural imbalances caused by illness or injury. Physical therapists assess each patient’s limitations and design progressive plans to safely strengthen muscles, improve balance, and enhance daily activity performance. Gradual progression prevents further injury, and patients are guided to continue exercises at home. Proper diet, rest, and hydration support recovery, ensuring a comprehensive approach to regaining health and independence.

Custom Stretching Programs

Stretching is crucial for rehabilitation, helping restore motion, reduce pain, and accelerate healing. Limited mobility from injuries or disuse can lead to muscle wasting, requiring a tailored stretching program. Our physical therapists design individualized stretching plans based on anatomy and physiological needs, ensuring safe and effective outcomes. Stretching is often combined with exercises, equipment, and manual techniques for maximum benefit. While beneficial for those with mobility issues, athletes also benefit from customized stretching to prevent injuries. Contact us for more information on our personalized stretching programs.

Active Release Techniques (ART)

Active Release Technique (ART) is a therapeutic approach combining movement and manipulative massage to treat soft tissue injuries caused by adhesions, or scar tissue. These adhesions can develop in both athletes and sedentary individuals due to injuries or repetitive motions, leading to restricted movement and issues like pinched nerves, muscle weakness, and pain. ART uses over 500 protocols to diagnose and treat soft tissue and nerve problems. Effective collaboration between patient and practitioner is essential, with ART improving range of motion and functional ability. Conditions treated include sciatica, headaches, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Sports Focused Rehab

Each sport has its own physical demands.  We blends strength training, soft tissue techniques, and sports rehabilitation to become a top chiropractor for sports injuries. Sports-focused rehab is a key service at Tri-state Health Clinic. Contact us or schedule an appointment today.

Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, treats various health issues, including musculoskeletal pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and osteoarthritis. It uses ultra-thin needles to release the body’s natural painkillers, providing immediate relief. Some patients feel better after one session, while others may require 8-12 sessions. Acupuncture can be combined with other therapies for comprehensive pain management.

Medical massage differs from traditional massage in that it is outcome-based and focuses on treating specific diagnosed conditions, such as sciatica, fibromyalgia, and impact injuries. Prescribed by a physician, it targets both acute and chronic problems without medication. Techniques like deep tissue mobilization, neuromuscular therapy, and myofascial release are used to reduce pain, muscle spasms, and inflammation. Benefits include improved range of motion, muscle strength, circulation, and immune function, as well as better coordination and posture, helping alleviate symptoms from muscle imbalances.

Ultrasound TherapyUltrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound converted to heat to treat conditions like arthritis, adhesions, muscle injuries, and soft tissue problems. Prescribed by a doctor and performed by a physical therapist, the treatment targets deep tissues, promoting healing without feeling heat on the skin. It improves circulation, reduces swelling, enhances metabolism, and increases movement. The treatment involves a sound head moved over the affected area, with gel facilitating energy transmission. Medications may also be applied through ultrasound for quicker absorption.
Nerve Conduction Velocity TestingThe NCV test is used to assess nerve injury by measuring the speed of impulse conduction along the affected nerve. Often combined with EMG (electromyography), it helps differentiate between nerve and muscular issues. The test involves attaching adhesive electrode patches to the affected area and sending electrical impulses between them, with the conduction speed compared to normal latency rates. NCV testing identifies damage to the nerve's axon or myelin sheath, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or neuropathy. Combined with EMG, it also helps diagnose neuromuscular disorders.
Shockwave TherapyShockwave therapy provides an innovative treatment for stubborn musculoskeletal conditions that don’t respond to traditional physiotherapy. Originally used for breaking down kidney stones, it is now effective for conditions like heel spurs, tennis elbow, and chronic muscle pain. The therapy uses low-energy sound waves sent through a gel applied to the skin, targeting injured areas to promote tissue regeneration and improve blood flow. Non-invasive and drug-free, shockwave therapy addresses pain at its root cause, offering long-term relief. With a success rate of over 70%, it’s a popular choice for many patients.

The Graston Technique is a manual therapy that uses specialized stainless steel instruments to detect and treat soft tissue injuries. These instruments, shaped to target specific areas of the body, allow practitioners to reach deeper tissues than manual massage, effectively addressing restrictions and adhesions.Quick Relief: Treatment lasts 3-6 minutes, improving mobility and reducing pain.Deeper Tissue Access: Unlike manual massage, Graston reaches deeper tissues, providing greater impact.Effective for Various Conditions: Used by over 13,000 professionals to treat conditions like neck pain, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, and more.This technique accelerates rehabilitation and reduces treatment duration, helping patients return to function faster.

Trigger points are sensitive muscle areas, caused by stress or overuse, that form tight, painful knots. These can be either active (causing pain at rest, often radiating to other areas) or latent (pain only when pressure is applied, causing movement restrictions).Trigger Point Injection involves injecting steroid and anesthetic directly into the trigger point to provide relief. This treatment is effective for myofascial pain, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and muscle pain.

Spinal problems often cause pain in the neck, back, arms, and legs due to narrow joint spaces. Our non-invasive spinal decompression therapy uses specialized machines to widen these spaces and relieve nerve pressure. The process involves gentle traction, allowing for targeted treatment based on individual needs. It improves circulation and promotes healing in affected discs. The therapy is painless and relaxing, with many patients feeling pain relief after a few sessions.
