Complete Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic means "effective use of the hands". Chiropractic care is the treatment of the spine and extremities using the hands as the primary tool. The chiropractic treatment we provide focuses on restoring proper movement and functions to all joints in the body. There are a variety of techniques utilized at Midpoint Sports Chiropractic including Diversified, Drop Table Technique, Gonstead Methods, and Activator Methods

  • We treat musculoskeletal injuries including:
    • Cumulative trauma disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and other work-related injuries
    • General injuries of the shoulder, arm, wrist, elbow, hip, leg, knee, ankle, and foot
    • Tendonitis
    • Ankle sprain
    • Rotator cuff syndrome
    • Frozen shoulder
    • Post-surgical release of adhesions
    • Hyperextension/flexion (whiplash) injury
    • Sciatica
    • Pain, and headaches management
    • Nerve Impingement
    • Bunion pain management

Active Release Techniques

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a non-invasive, hands-on soft-tissue management system that is considered by many to be the gold standard in releasing adhesions and restoring the normal function of the body from injuries. Because of the precisely engineered ART treatment protocols, many patients experience a quicker result than conventional massage or muscle work. It is also the first treatment choice for professional and recreational athletes. The benefits of ART are:
• Decrease joint stress
• Helps to break adhesions
• Increase vascular flow at the site
• Restores normal gliding mechanics between adjacent structures
• Releases entrapped nerves by releasing the tension of the muscles

Myofascial Decompression/Cup Therapy

Myofascial Decompression (MFD) is based on assessing and correcting movement inefficiencies such as ROM restrictions and muscular imbalances by utilizing negative pressure tools (cups) and movement-based paradigms and algorithms in the body.

The myofascial decompression approach is one of the few methods of lifting adhesions with movement to allow proper fluid exchange and increase mobility.

Rehab exercises and myofascial stretching

Myofascial stretching is highly effective in the correction of structural imbalances and in releasing tension across the joints. This is often the missing link in resolving problematic cases of pain and dysfunction. This type of stretch requires a longer time to complete a stretching cycle, and the stretches must be held continuously for a minimum of 30 to 90 seconds before the fascia releases its tension. Instead of stretching out the muscle itself, myofascial stretching uses precise postures and highly coordinated movements to target the fascia surrounding specific muscles and joints. Active elongation and a breathing cadence are part of the key concepts in myofascial stretching, allowing the body to improve its flexibility and mobility.

Benefits of myofascial stretching:
• Prevent joint injuries
• Assist in the tissue recovery process
• Improve overall posture & muscle balance
• Promote spine and joint health
• Improve flexibility & mobility
• Enhance muscle performance

  • SFMA is a diagnostic system to assess functional movement patterns that may be eliciting musculoskeletal discomfort.

    FMS is a system designed to re-establish corrective movement through various exercises.

  • Graston® Technique (GT) is an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique for treating and resolving soft tissue injuries, including repetitive stress diagnoses. By using a cross-friction massage, which involves brushing or rubbing against the grain of the scar tissue, this re-introduces small amounts of trauma to the affected area. In some cases, the process temporarily causes inflammation which increases the rate and amount of blood flow in and around the area.

    GT is ideal for the treatment of acute or chronic injuries such as cervical sprain/strain, lumbar sprain/strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow), rotator cuff tendonitis, patellofemoral disorders, Achilles tendonitis, fibromyalgia, scar tissue, and trigger points.
