At Acute Care Chiropractic Clinic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Brandon office.
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Kenneth Trussell has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment. He is proficient in hands on manual adjusting, as well as, gentle lower force instrument adjustments.
Acupuncture
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine prospective, Acupuncture relieves stiffness and pain by increasing circulation of
Blood and Qi. From a more Traditional Western Medicine prospective, Acupuncture is effective because it stimulates the body to produce a hormone, enzyme, or neurotransmitter that creates a physiologic effect in the body. Acupuncture is effective in relieving pain because it has anesthetic properties. It improves flexibility, mobility, reduces
inflammation, and eliminates muscle spasms by increasing blood supply to
tendons, ligaments and muscles. Acupuncture influences the nervous system by controlling and connecting
neuro-physiological relationships between all body systems by directing
bio-electrical impulses through the nerve fibers. This can be performed with needles or as laser acupuncture. Laser acupuncture is a healing technique that stimulates acupuncture points with low intensity "cold" lasers emitting infra-red light placed on or over affected areas and acupoints.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release offers a natural conservative treatment
approach that relieves
musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office provides specific myofascial release
and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's
condition and
injury. The benefits of soft tissue therapy may include increasing blood
circulation,
reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and
spasms, and
aid in recovery and range of motion.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Frequency Specific Microcurrent is a set of treatment protocols developed by Dr. Carol McMakin based on electromagnetic therapies
used by medical doctors and osteopathic doctors in the early 1900's.
These physicians were using devices that delivered frequencies on two
channels. One channel was thought to neutralize a specific condition or
pathology and the other channel was thought to target a specific
tissue or body part. Animal research has shown Microcurrent
to increase ATP production by 500%. ATP is the substance every cell in
your body uses for energy. The current has also been shown to increase
the speed of waste product removal from the cells and increase the
rate of amino acid (protein building blocks) transport into the cell by
70%. The implication of increased energy, increased protein building
blocks, and reduced metabolized waste is accelerated healing and
improved function.
Laser Therapy
A healing technique that stimulates tissues with low
intensity "cold" lasers emitting infra-red laser light placed on or over
injured or affected areas. It differs from laser surgery, which
utilizes "hot" lasers. It is usually used to relieve pain, reduce
inflammation, and accelerate wound healing. It works through a process called photobiostimulation where photochemical and photophysical changes occur in the tissues even down to a cellular level.
Physio Therapy
To complement and enhance the healing effects of Dr.Trussell's specific
chiropractic manipulative treatment, our office also provides the following procedures:
Ultrasound
Interferential electrical muscle stimulation
Spinal decompression / Traction
Super pulsed infrared laser
Pulsed radio frequency diathermy
Work hardening rehabilitation program
Rehab & Exercises
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises to help
strengthen
and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be
performed in
the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of
your spinal
correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and
connective
tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and
use. Specific
exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in
health.
Nutritional Counseling
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Kenneth Trussell as a Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Internists has extensive nutritional training and can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
Spinal & Postural Screenings
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain
activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating
their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient
achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they
enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and
help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between
our professionals and our patients.
