Chiropractic Services
Chiropractors are licensed healthcare professionals who primarily concentrate on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of spinal disorders and other mechanical conditions of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic care places a strong emphasis on the body’s ability to heal itself without employing surgery, drugs, or other medical measures.
Patients often experience relief from a wide range of painful and dangerous symptoms by seeking quality chiropractic care. At Banks Chiropractic, we address countless health and wellness issues using a variety of approaches. Read more about some of our specific services below.
Modalities Offered
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care forms the foundation of our services at Banks Chiropractic Center. Our experienced chiropractors utilize manual techniques, including spinal adjustments, to restore proper alignment of the spine and joints. By doing so, we alleviate pain, enhance nerve function, improve mobility, and promote the body’s natural healing process. Chiropractic care is effective for a wide range of conditions, from back pain and headaches to sports injuries and postural issues.
ART (Active Release Technique)
ART, or Active Release Technique, is a specialized soft tissue therapy that focuses on treating muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. It is highly effective in relieving pain, improving range of motion, and restoring optimal function in cases of repetitive strain injuries, muscle imbalances, and scar tissue formation. Our skilled practitioners utilize ART to address a wide range of conditions and injuries, helping patients regain pain-free movement and enhance their performance.
The Activator Method
This therapeutic approach requires the use of a specific hand-held tool called the “activator.” A spring-loaded, mechanical instrument, the activator aids in chiropractic adjustment by delivering a rapid, low-force impulse with extreme precision. An activator adjustment can accomplish many of the same benefits as a manual adjustment by improving the body’s alignment and helping with overall body function.
Rehabilitation
In the wake of an injury or a surgical procedure, many people can benefit greatly from a targeted physical rehabilitation regimen. When patients come to us for rehabilitation, we will use a combination of adjustments and other modalities. For post-treatment care at home, we generally recommend a program of exercises to help in recovery from physical trauma and to rebuild former mobility and range of movement.
Pediatric Chiropractic Services
Children can benefit greatly from chiropractic care, which is why we offer specialized pediatric chiropractic services. Our chiropractors have the expertise to address common childhood issues such as colic, ear infections, growing pains, and postural imbalances. Through gentle adjustments and tailored treatment plans, we aim to support the healthy development of children and optimize their musculoskeletal health.
Post/Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy can bring about unique challenges for a woman’s body, including hormonal changes, postural adaptations, and increased stress on the spine and pelvis. Our chiropractors offer specialized post/prenatal chiropractic care to support women throughout their pregnancy journey. By utilizing gentle techniques such as the Webster Technique and pregnancy-specific adjustments, we aim to alleviate discomfort, promote proper alignment, and enhance the overall well-being of both mother and baby.
Manual Adjustment
The “classic” chiropractic treatment, manual adjustments are done by hand to perform a broad spectrum of coordinated contact movements. Manual adjustments may be used to address various patient health and wellness concerns. Applying direct pressure at specific points, we can dramatically improve the function of muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and other soft bodily tissues.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a therapeutic technique that promotes relaxation, relieves muscle tension, and enhances overall physical and mental well-being. Our skilled massage therapists work closely with our chiropractors to provide a seamless integration of care, ensuring that you receive the utmost benefit from your treatment plan.
Lifestyle Advice & Education
At Banks Chiropractic Center, we believe in empowering our patients with the knowledge and tools to lead a healthy lifestyle. Our chiropractors provide personalized lifestyle advice and education, including guidance on ergonomics, posture, exercise, nutrition, and stress management. By incorporating these recommendations into your daily routine, you can enhance the benefits of chiropractic care and optimize your overall well-being.
