If you are experiencing discomfort or pain in general or as a result of an injury, our Lafayette, IN chiropractor can improve your quality of life through a variety of chiropractic adjustment therapies. Our experienced practitioner will create a customized treatment plan designed for each individual. At Chiropractic Solutions in Lafayette, Dr. Weida is skilled in non-invasive manipulation techniques to treat the following conditions.
Much of our care falls under the category of chiropractic care. This particular area of our practice includes treatments like a chiropractic adjustment. With this particular treatment, our chiropractor manually manipulates your spine to relieve pressure on the surrounding nerves and soft tissue. It also optimizes circulation and nervous system function.
It may also include spinal decompression or be the main treatment instead of a chiropractic adjustment. During this treatment, our chiropractor will ask you to lay on your back and will use a machine to separate your vertebrae. It causes the spine to stretch and relax repeatedly, which ultimately eases pressure on the discs and allows them to heal.
Percussion Therapy
Your tissue can become inflamed. You might have tight areas. Both of these issues will cause pain. Our goal with percussion therapy is to ease your discomfort by loosening those muscles and promoting circulation to the area. The increase in circulation can bring healing nutrients to the area while easing inflammation, and loosening tightness can ease your pain.
Corrective Exercises
Therapeutic exercise is also part of our care. With this treatment, our chiropractor will guide you through exercises that work the affected part of your body. You'll slowly go through stretches to increase your function and flexion. The goal here is to help promote blood flow to decrease inflammation and to help promote pain relief. Exercises can also help you to grow in strength in the areas that need it the most, particularly if you are injured. This increased strength can help support an injury while it heals, and it can also help you to avoid similar injuries in the future.
Sports Injuries
Whether you are an elite athlete or a weekend sports enthusiast, you will likely sustain a sports-related injury at some point in your life. Common sports injuries involve ACL and MCL tears, dislocations, fractures, muscle strains, sprains, and tennis elbow, to name a few. You might experience symptoms such as acute or lingering pain, bruising, decreased range of motion, stiffness, and tenderness.
If you have experienced a sports injury, chiropractic adjustments can assist in healing, reducing pain and inflammation, and improving musculoskeletal alignment and functionality. Our chiropractor will also guide you through restorative therapeutic exercises that you can do at home.
