About Physical Therapy

                           Why is Physical Therapy included in Your Healing Package?

Your Physical therapy consists of:

Intersegmental traction table (relaxes muscles, stimulates nerves,
       helps you hold your adjustment longer.)

Hydrocolator heat packs

TDP lamp

Therapeutics (Exercises and stretches designed to reconnect joint functioning.)

Today’s patterns of motion are repetitive and limited.  Some muscles and joints receive more stimulation than others.  Some muscles become strong and some become weak.  Some are in a hard labor camp and some are on permanent vacation.  As a result, your muscles have lost their ability to automatically hold you in an aligned posture.
We have to find effective ways and means to stimulate our muscles to keep them functional, otherwise more and more muscles opt out resulting in further misalignment and stiffness.
 
Your body is composed of a grid of horizontal and vertical lines. Exactly parallel horizontal and vertical lines are perfect for withstanding gravity’s downward force.
The points of interaction are the ankles, knees, hips and shoulders.  They support and give your spine the structural integrity it needs without sacrificing flexibility.

A sedentary lifestyle has robbed us of our load-bearing alignment.  The horizontal and vertical lines are not parallel. When the grid has lost its integrity, it can no longer assist the spine in maintaining its integrity.  Additionally a misaligned human frame results in extra friction in the joints. 

Even though the body has undergone years of dysfunctional stress and strain, it never irretrievably loses its design. Cartilage will regenerate itself when damaging joint stress caused by musculoskeletal misalignment is eliminated and function is restored.
Your bones are not static either.  They are constantly undergoing growth and regeneration, if you allow it to take place. 

Therapeutics, the most critical item of your physical therapy healing package, are designed to strengthen key muscles, improve the posture, improve movement patterns and retrain your muscles to hold your body differently.

The therapeutics chosen specifically for you, take into account the unique variations found in your structure and your lifestyle so that pain can be decreased or eliminated, so that function can be improved, so that posture can be improved, so that discs can be maintained, so that spinal flexibility can be maintained, so that future injury and pain can be avoided.
