FULL BODY ADJUSTMENT FOR EPICONDYLITIS

Current literature suggests epicondylitis involves adhesions in the muscle and fascia around the elbow. This patient received a full body manual adjustment with some pin and stretch and IASTM. Contact your Bettendorf chiropractor to schedule your next visit.

FULL BODY ADJUSTMENT FOR HEADACHE

TENSION HEADACHE: We access and treat many types of conditions here at PROFORM, including tension headache. There are several different causes of headaches. Tension headaches involve the muscles of the neck and head. This patient received a full body manual adjustment with some cranial work along with some pin and stretch of the neck musculature. Contact your Bettendorf chiropractor to schedule your next visit.

ACTIVATOR PROTOCOL FOR WELLNESS

WELLNESS: Activator protocol observes a patient’s leg length as a way to observe tension, subluxations, and areas in need of adjustment. By introducing movement into the stretch receptors within the associated muscles, the adjustment allows each segment to move optimally. Activator activates the stretch receptors within the treated muscles and is a safe alternative for those with osteoporosis or joint laxity. Contact your Bettendorf chiropractor to schedule your next visit.

ADJUSTMENT FOR PLANTAR FACIITIS

PLANTAR FASCIITIS: We access and treat many types of conditions here at PROFORM Chiropractic & Sports Performance, including plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis often involves short calves, adhesions in the plantar fascia, poor footwear, and a weak foot core. This patient has been being treated in our office for about 2 months now and is finally getting relief after years of severe foot pain. Today's visit involved a full body manual adjustment with some soft tissue work on the plantar fascia and a review of the exercises she's been doing to make sure she's still doing them correctly. Contact your Bettendorf chiropractor to schedule your next visit.

ADJUSTMENT FOR IT BAND TENDONOPATHY

IT BAND TENDONOPATHY: This patient is a competitive softball pitcher who was sidelined with IT band tendonopathy. IT band tendonopathy often involves biomechanical issues. We discovered that she was turning her foot outward with every pitch and combined with the help of her pitching coach, we were able to improve her biomechanics. Her pain is now gone and she has returned to play successfully. The patient woke up with some mild torticollis (stiff neck) on the day of this visit so we also did some manual massage on the scalene and trapezius muscles. Contact your Bettendorf chiropractor to schedule your next visit.

ADJUSTMENT FOR WELLNESS

WELLNESS: This golf teacher gets adjusted twice a month as part of a wellness program that includes two sessions per week of personal training to improve strength, mobility, and overall health. Chiropractic has been shown to improve strength, coordination, and reaction time. Contact your Bettendorf chiropractor to schedule your next visit.

ADJUSTMENT FOR FROZEN SHOULDER

FROZEN SHOULDER: This patient is deaf and initially presented with cervical radiculopathy with radiating pain down the right arm along with significant adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) in his right shoulder. Frozen shoulder is thought to involve an immune component that causes a thickening of the joint capsule and gaurding of the associated musculature. His cervical radiculopathy and arm pain mostly resolved after just two treatments and is now completely gone. The adhesive capsulitis has improved significantly and is at the end of the thawing phase. This visit included manual and drop table adjustments for the spine and hips along with pin and stretch and specific exercises for adhesive capsulitis.
