Case Studies
Patient #1 - Allison
Allison is 32 years old and came to
HealthBridge Chiropractic through the recommendation of a
co-worker. For the past six months she suffered from daily
sciatic, lower back pain as well as neck and shoulder tension.
The pain became so intense that she stopped going to the gym,
had trouble sleeping, and could not sit at her desk for more
than a few hours at a time. The initial motor nerve scan,
which detects stress on various muscles, showed that Allison had
areas of chronic, severe and moderate muscle activity.
Six weeks later, after 12 visits to
HealthBridge Chiropractic, a new scan of Allison showed
about a 60% improvement in the neck and shoulder region.
There was a 35% improvement in the lower back. At
this point, Allison had less pain, less frequency of discomfort
and was able to resume work-outs at the gym and also able to
enjoy her home and work environment.
Patient #2 - Larry
Larry is 28 years old and came to see
HealthBridge Chiropractic, because of neck, shoulder and hip
pain. He suffered from the pain for almost a year with the
discomfort getting worse over the last three months. Like
so many people, Larry sits at a computer for 6-8 hours a day
with his shoulders and posture slouching and his head leaning
forward and down toward the computer. Larry was forced to
curtail his workouts and other recreational activities because
of the pain.
After 12 visits and six weeks of care with
HealthBridge Chiropractic, Larry had a remarkable
improvement in both his ability to function better both at work
and at home. The mobility in his neck and lower back
became more active and loose and his scan results clearly showed
an improvement of about 40% in the neck and head region and a
60% improvement in the lower back area. Larry was able to
resume a more frequent fitness routine thanks to his care at
HealthBridge Chiropractic.
Massage Therapy
The doctors' offices utilize massage therapy, including full body massage, to relax muscles and help with a patient’s recovery process. Massage therapy is an integral part of our office practice and is recommended for a majority of our patients. For our chiropractic patients the prices for a full body massage performed by our licensed massage therapist are:
$30 for 30 minutes
Although the massage is not generally covered by insurance, it does qualify under many flex spending plans.
Hydromassage
Water is
so pure and simple, yet it can do extraordinary things.
The
therapeutic use of warm water, known as hydromassage, is a proven, natural
remedy. The pressure of the warm water against your body creates an experience
that is both rejuvenating and therapeutic.
The value of hydromassage goes far beyond
the simple pleasure of warm water swirling around and massaging you.
It’s actually very good for you. Where hydromassage is applied, you
will notice a relaxation of the muscles, increased blood circulation and relief
of muscular pain and tension.
Hydromassage
relaxes tight muscles just like a professional hands-on massage only in less
time and without the labor or embarrassment of having to undress.
Corrective Exercise
The doctors teach their patients specific stretch and strengthening exercises to correct the weakened areas. These exercises can be performed in
their office and utilized at home.
Nutritional Counseling and Products
The doctors offer nutritional counseling geared toward each individual patient’s needs.
The doctors also advise specific supplements to enhance nutritional efficiency.
Physical Therapy
The doctors utilize specific therapies to reduce pain and inflammation when needed including moist, hot pads and ice.
