Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments are often the first thing that comes to mind when people think about chiropractic, but what is actually happening? A joint manipulation (also called an “adjustment”) is a safe, highly skilled procedure, in which the chiropractor will use their hands to apply a controlled force quickly to a joint(s) guiding it through a normal range of motion. Chiropractic adjustments are used to restore joint motion, alleviate pain and improve the function of the joint and surrounding tissue. Oftentimes with this procedure, the patient may hear a “cracking” or “popping” sound that is caused by pressure changes within the joint causing dissolved gases to form bubbles which pop - NO this isn’t bones crunching or going back into place! While chiropractic adjustments are a very safe procedure, they are not indicated for all patients. A thorough history and physical examination will determine whether you are a good candidate for an adjustment. Alternative treatments such as joint mobilizations can be offered in situations where chiropractic adjustments are contraindicated or don't align with patient preferences.

Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapies are a large part of my Airdrie chiropractic treatments at our Airdrie office. These are therapies which are designed to address the "soft" tissues throughout the body including muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia while traditional chiropractic treatments or adjustments focus on bones and more specifically joints. The goal of soft tissue therapy is to reduce muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve the overall function of the affected tissue(s) and are a fantastic adjunct to chiropractic adjustments as they help to address tissues which can be causing or are in reaction to joint pain or restrictions.
There are several soft tissue treatment techniques that may be used during your treatment at our Airdrie chiropractic clinic including but not limited to; active release, pin and stretch, trigger point therapy, cupping, assisted stretching, and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization.
Injury Rehabilitation
Rehab exercises have a huge role in my Airdrie chiropractic practice and are integrated into most treatment plans. These exercises are personalized to your unique needs and are designed to help you achieve your treatment goals and create LONG LASTING results.
Initially these exercises may be focused on alleviating pain and restoring range of motion following an injury as we aim to get you out of pain and back to activity. Long-term these exercises are designed to address your unique presentation and functional limitations and ultimately help you get stronger and more resilient to withstand the demands of life or the sport/activities you love.
Your treatment plan and rehabilitation program at Airdrie Chiropractic is always personalized to meet your individual goals, whether they be rehabilitation from injury, prevention of injury, optimizing health, or enhancing performance.
Optimal Performance Care
While we love helping you bounce back from injury, our true passion at Airdrie Chiropractic is helping you perform at your absolute best. Identifying stiff or restricted joints, tight or weak muscles, and identifying movement dysfunctions are keys to help prevent injuries and help your body to perform like you need it to in your sport or activity. Just like you don't wait for your car to break down to get it in for maintenance, you shouldn't wait for pain or injury to get in and have your body checked out. Whether you are looking to add an edge to your performance, or simply continue doing the things you love without your body holding you back chiropractic care at our Airdrie office has you covered.
Self-Management Strategies
Empowering patients with self-management strategies a key goal of my Airdrie chiropractic practice. When you leave my office with a better of your condition and how to manage your symptoms independently, your prognosis improves significantly. This includes techniques such as finding relief positions and pain management strategies that encourage you to take an active role in your health and recovery.
