Hoogeveen Chiropractic Wellness Center

Chiropractic adjustments, or manipulations as they are also referred to, are specific hands-on movements given to joints in the spine and other parts of the body by our highly skilled chiropractic physicians. These adjustments are designed to restore healthy alignment and mobility to the joints and surrounding tissue. When the joint complexes and their surrounding muscles, ligaments, and other tissue are not functioning properly and/or in proper alignment (often called a subluxation complex, subluxation, or segmental dysfunction) it creates a combination of inflammation, pain, stiffness, and irritation on the nervous system. In the early stages of a subluxation complex you may not experience many symptoms, which is why chiropractic care can be an effective prevention tool as well.

Functional rehabilitation is a term that encompasses many types of therapy that are integrated to achieve a better function and reduce pain. Interventions are primarily based in therapeutic exercise, but also include neuromuscular reeducation/stretching, neurodynamics, and myofascial release. You will be shown individualized exercises or activities that can be done at home to ensure that your recovery is as efficient as possible.

Both of our massage therapists are equipped with a variety of techniques and approaches which can be specifically suited to your body and condition. Our massage therapy is intended to be therapeutic in nature to be the perfect compliment to our chiropractic care.

McKenzie Method is an exercise-based approach of assessment, diagnosis, and treatment intended for the management of all musculoskeletal complaints including back, neck, or extremity pain. This method aims to identify a specific exercise that results in fast improvement of symptoms and function. A simple home exercise program is given so treatment does not stop when you leave the clinic.

Chiropractic adjustments are safe for the whole family at every stage of life. Of course, certain conditions or injuries can be a contraindication for some adjustment techniques, but our skilled chiropractors have a number of techniques at their disposal that can be suited to each individual patient.

Various forms of soft tissue treatment are provided at HCWC including instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and myofascial release techniques. These detect and correct soft tissue dysfunction that impair normal motion and cause pain. This also aids in regulation of tissue tone and re-initiates the healing process.
