Physical Therapy at Westminster Chiropractor Helps Restore Body to Optimum Health

Physical therapy has long been a mainstay at Fox Chiropractic and with very good reason. Our Westminster chiropractor has employed the therapy to treat a number of sports injuries and get patients back on their feet—and into the game—as rapidly as possible. It has been an effective component in wellness care and treatment plans for neck, upper and low back pain as well as maintaining mobility and restoring full functionality for a wide variety of injuries incurred from sports, auto accident injury and personal mishaps.

Decompression Therapy for Low Back Pain Can Be Part of Restorative Program and Wellness Care

The first step in any therapy program is to assess the damage done and correct any spinal issues that may have occurred. Our chiropractors Dr. Derek Fox, Dr. Audrey Fox, and Dr. Lindsey Green have experience with a variety of techniques that correct underlying issues causing the neck, upper and low back pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. Chiropractic techniques that specifically work to restore the spine’s full functioning and alignment include manipulations and decompression therapy, both of which are all-natural, non-invasive and drug free.

Once our chiropractor corrects any underlying issues, a physical therapy program can begin. Common injuries we see include sprains, strains, small tears in muscle fibers and tissues and chronic conditions such as tennis elbow and tendinitis. In addition to helping to heal injuries, physical therapy can also be effective for treating other conditions such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and poor posture.

A series of exercises are typically in store for patients in therapy, with a focus on the injury and surrounding area. The exercises are meant to restore full strength and movement to the affected area as well as help manage any low back pain or other discomfort caused by the injury or condition. Our chiropractic clinic serving Westminster, Broomfield and the surrounding area, is stocked with several machines that help with the program’s exercises, such as our vibrational plate, which increases blood flow and muscle healing even further. Our vibrational plate training is available as part of a therapy program for healing injuries and we also offer it as a way to enhance regular strength and fitness workouts. We also typically provide additional exercises patients can perform at home to further assist the healing process.

Our Westminster injury treatment programs can go beyond exercises with additional healing techniques that include stimulation and massage as well as a comprehensive stretching routine. Once a patient’s injury is healed doesn’t necessarily mean the end of treatment. Although the specific exercise program may be complete, our chiropractor can still advise on lifestyle advice, nutrition counseling and corrective exercises as part of an overall wellness care program. Our therapy can help restore a body to its optimum health while our wellness care can help keep it there.
