Gentle chiropractic adjustments
restore
function to the spinal joints and surrounding muscles and
ligaments. This type of motion therapy also promotes proper healing.
Dr. DaSo is experienced and trained in several chiropractic
techniques including: Activator methods, Diversified (By Hand),
Flexion-distraction low back technique, Thompson Drop Table,
Accupressure and Positional release.
Neuromuscular massage therapy is available at Oakwood Chiropractic and is performed by a licensed massage therapist. We feel that most problems involve both spinal and joint structures,as well as the muscle structure. To effectively treat these conditions, muscle therapy is needed.
Physiotherapy modalities such as ultrasound, muscle stimulation, trigger point therapy and hot/cold treatments are used for controlling muscle spasms, pain, swelling and to promote healing and proper muscle function. We also offer Low Level Laser Therapy.
