Chiropractic Manipulation:
The doctors
are highly skilled in chiropractic manipulation for the correction
of spinal misalignment, and subluxation/fixation complexes.
Special adjusting tables are used which are designed for patient
comfort. Specialized tables are available for treatment of
invalids, pregnant women, and patients with other special
conditions.
PulStar Treatment/Analysis System:
Many patients prefer our new
low force adjusting and analyses technique utilizing the revolutionary
noninvasive PulStar mobilizing and analysis unit. This new
system enables our clinicians to provide precisely controlled
mobilization impulses and objectively analyze the compliance
of spinal joints, --- Safely and Gently correcting spinal
misalignments and subluxation/fixation complexes.
Intersegmental Traction:
Patients often refer to intersegmental
traction as the "magic fingers treatment." This
type of therapy is effective for reducing fixations, restoring
elasticity of tissues, and speeding up recovery time. It
encourages longevity of results and is a very positive factor
in treating low back problems. It is often utilized ancillary
to chiropractic manipulation
Interferential Electrical Muscle Stimulation:
This new type of electro therapy
utilizes an alternating current to produce a ‘Beat’
or low frequency stimulation current deep in the tissue
of the affected area. This adjunctive therapy is useful
in helping to relieve pain, reduce swelling, promote healing,
reduce muscle spasms, restore normal range of motion, increase
blood & lymph flow, and many other beneficial responses.
Diathermy:
Diathermy is a deep heat method of aiding circulation and
in so doing, helps speed up the healing process and reduce
recovery time. Diathermy is frequently recommended for such
conditions as bronchitis, prostatitis, muscle spasms, certain
types of headaches, and is frequently utilized anciliary
to chiropactic manipulation.

Biomechanical
and Posture Analysis, Bilateral Weight Distribution:
The Extent to which the spine
can move freely and easily - bending, turning, stretching
- is an indication of the tone, elasticity, and general health
of the spine, along with its controlling muscles and ligaments.
Restricted spinal movements could mean that the spine, muscles,
and ligaments may have suffered injury or degeneration.
When spinal distortion or imbalance
exists, further diagnostic testing is needed to identify the
cause. Two new diagnostic devices, The Dynatron Equailizer,
and the Pnue Map, are used at Englewood Family Chiropractic
to help detect and analyze structural distortions and spinal
imbalance. The computerized printouts generate important information
on the functioning of the spine and supporting structures.
Axial Traction:
Patients find this a very
relaxing treatment which produces marvelous results in the
treatment of back pain, stiffness of muscles and joints,
disc problems, contractures, fixations, and the displacement
of internal organs. It is also utilized ancillary to chiropractic
manipulation.
DTS Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression*:
DTS spinal decompression is a leading non-surgical alternative for treatment of disc related
syndromes of the lumbar and cervical spine. This pain free alternative has shown a very
high rate of success (86-92%) at reducing or even eliminating back and neck pain. Therapy
on a disc DTS decompression table creates negative pressures inside the herniated, bulging,
or deteriorating disc letting it retract naturally, thus relieving disc pressure on spinal
nerves.
