Exercise Rehabilitation Can Help Your Successfully Recover After a Musculoskeletal Injury

The human body is a complex thing. We get our structure and mobility from the way our skeleton relates to our muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. When a muscle or connective tissue is traumatized the recovery process can vary in treatment method as well as a time table.

Here at the Health and Wellness clinic in Layton, Utah, Dr. Hendricks DC, Dr. Rollins DC, and our therapeutic specialists can help develop an effective rehabilitation program for a wide range of Musculoskeletal injuries.

This can include work related injuries, automobile accidents, and athletic trauma. We do this by applying exercise therapy techniques and proven rehabilitation principles.

We often incorporate chiropractic treatments, with in-office therapy sessions which are complemented by an intuitive home exercise program tailored to each individual patient’s needs.

We often employ exercise rehab technology from an Active Therapeutic Movement machine. Also known as an ATM2, it has provided many of our patients with immediate and long-term relief of various musculoskeletal injuries. It often proves very helpful for treating neck and back pain problems.

If you are in the Layton, Utah, area and you need help rehabilitating from a musculoskeletal injury, you should call 801-544-4333 to schedule a consultation at the Health and Wellness Clinic.

What Is Spinal Decompression?
This non-surgical treatment is used to help with serious lower back pain (with or without leg pain) or neck pain (with or without arm pain). This treatment can relieve pain from bulging or herniated discs, degenerative discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, and headaches. Decompression reduces pressure on sensitive tissues. In addition, it promotes blood and fluid flow into the disc, thus bringing a faster, natural healing.

What Conditions Can Decompression Help?

– Pain from bulged or herniated discs
– Lower back pain
– Recurrent pain from a failed neck or back surgery
– Neck pain
– Pain caused by degenerated discs

What Should I Expect During Treatment?
Spinal decompression is a very gentle treatment. First, you will lie on a table and your muscles will be heated, massaged, and relaxed. After this, you will lie on the D.T.S. decompression table and a belt strap will be wrapped around your pelvis. The belt is a part of the section of the machine that distracts your spine from the amounts of pull. Many patients find this treatment so relaxing that they fall asleep. When this stage of treatment is complete, ice packs and electrical stimulation will be used to further reduce the swelling in the area of discomfort. Very slight spinal adjustments are made if necessary. Lastly, a cold laser will be used to stimulate your cells to further healing and create more energy. Each treatment lasts about 50 to 60 minutes and most people need around 12 to 15 treatments.

The therapists at [practice_name] offer a variety of massage techniques, from gentle, stress-relieving massages to deep tissue trigger point therapy.

What Is a Massage?
Pressing, rubbing, and manipulating the skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments is a massage. The amount of pressure used in a massage can vary a good deal. Stress-relieving massages are generally very light and gentle. A deep massage uses slower strokes with deep pressure. A deep massage targets the deep layers of muscle and connective tissues. This type of massage can help with muscle damage from injuries. Trigger point massages, which can be provided after an injury or overuse of a muscle, focus on areas of tight muscle fibers.

What Are the Benefits of a Massage?
According to studies, massage therapy can help with:

– Stress
– Pain
– Muscle tension
– Injuries like strains and sprains to ligaments and muscles
– Tendinitis
– Poor circulation
– Poor posture

Is a Massage for Me?
Although most patients can benefit from a massage, there are some instances in which a massage would not be appropriate. A massage may not be for you if you have:

– Bleeding disorders
– Blood-thinning medication
– A fracture
– Burns or healing wounds
– Severe osteoporosis
