Doctors of chiropractic are extensively educated in the prevention, assessment, diagnosis and management of spine, muscle and nervous system (also known as musculoskeletal or MSK) conditions. They recommend a course of treatment to help relieve pain and improve function & mobility. Chiropractic treatment include manipulation, soft tissue therapy, exercise, modalities (ultrasound, laser, etc.), rehabilitation, and patient education. Chiropractors are also trained to provide nutritional counselling, as well as recommend injury prevention strategies. Other treatment may include:
Scoliosis Assessment
Scoliosis assessment & treatment help identify and treat abnormal spinal curvatures. Our chiropractors use manual examinations to evaluate the degree of scoliosis and the potential underlying causes and may refer for diagnostic imaging if needed. Based on the findings, the chiropractor may recommend a customized treatment plan that includes chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and therapeutic exercises. The goal is to reduce pain and discomfort, improve mobility, and prevent the progression of scoliosis. Our scoliosis assessment and correction services are tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient and help them achieve optimal spinal health.
Kinesio taping
Kinesio Taping is a widely recognized therapeutic technique that has gained popularity in the field of sports medicine and rehabilitation. At Aceso Health Clinic, we offer kinesio taping as part of our comprehensive range of services to promote healing, pain relief, and improved functionality.
Kinesio taping involves the application of specialized elastic tape to targeted areas of the body to provide support, reduce pain, and enhance the body’s natural healing process. The tape is designed to mimic the elasticity and flexibility of human skin, allowing for a full range of motion while providing gentle and constant stimulation to the affected area.
The kinesio tape used at Aceso Health Clinic is hypoallergenic and breathable, ensuring maximum comfort during wear. It can be worn for several days, even during activities such as showering or exercising, providing continuous therapeutic benefits throughout the healing process.
The benefits of kinesio taping can include:
- Pain reduction
- Reduce swelling
- Improved Posture
- Improved circulation
- Enhanced muscle and joint function
- Support injured tissues during the healing process
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound treatment that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissues and stimulate healing. The ultrasound waves can help reduce pain and inflammation, increase blood flow and oxygenation, and promote tissue regeneration. Our chiropractors use a handheld device that delivers the ultrasound waves to the affected area, and they may adjust the frequency and intensity of the treatment based on the patient’s needs. Therapeutic ultrasound treatment is non-invasive and typically painless, making it a safe and effective option for a wide range of conditions, from sports injuries to chronic pain.
