Chiropractic Treatments and Techniques
At Ackroyd Chiropractic and Massage Therapy we employ a variety of treatments and techniques. To find the best treatment plan for you we will speak to you about your areas of concern. Once we can prescribe a treatment plan, we will move forward with one of the techniques below. These treatments are used to treat pain and inflammation whether they are caused by posture problems, accidents, or just about anything else.
Diversified Adjustments (DCT)
DCT is one of the most commonly used methods of treatment. This treatment is used to aid proper alignment and movement.
Drop Table
At the clinic we employ the use of drop tables. This technique includes the use of a special table with sections that are outfitted to slightly move up and down. With this table, your chiropractor will move your spine.
Activator
The activator is a spring-loaded, hand-held instrument used to deliver a series of low-force impulses to specific joints.
Soft Tissue
This technique is focused on the soft tissues, for example, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. With this treatment, kneading and pressing motions are used to encourage blood flow. This technique is helpful for easing pain and inflammation.
Strengthening and Stretching
In addition to other treatments, we can recommend at home strengthening and stretching exercises. These are specific to your condition, concern, or area of weakness.
Massage Therapy Treatments and Techniques
Here at Ackroyd Chiropractic and Massage Therapy we offer a diversified selection of techniques. These techniques can help to ease pain, reduce inflammation, and improve function. Not only are these beneficial physically, but they can also help psychologically as well with their relaxation effects. Listed below are just some of techniques we specialize in.
Deep Tissue
This technique is characterized by using firm and slow strokes to the tissue. Using this technique allows for your massage therapist to reach deeper layers of your tissue, which helps to encourage blood flow to reduce pain and inflammation.
Graston
This instrument-assisted therapy is used for soft tissue with a focus on small areas for 30 to 60 seconds. The focus of this treatment is to breakdown scar tissue or work through strained muscles, ligaments, or tendons.
Myofascial Release
This treatment is used typically for sensitivity or tightness in the myofascial tissues, which support muscles throughout the body. The technique involves focusing on a broad area, where your massage therapist will feel for tightness. A series of stretching and massaging motions are used to ease the tightness in the network of connected muscle and tissue.
Strengthening and Stretching
In addition to other treatments, we can recommend at home strengthening and stretching exercises. These are specific to your condition, concern, or area of weakness.
