Techniques used at our facility

Biodynamic Osteopathy & Cranial Osteopathy

 Biodynamic Osteopathy promotes the vitality and energy of the body to reach areas in need of healing. It also rebalances the autonomic nervous system.

Cranial Osteopathy is helpful for correcting intra-cranial strains and misalignment that may arise from birth, physical trauma, dental surgery, etc.   It is very helpful for stress, headaches, restoration, sinus and ear congestion, TMJ, skull deformities.

HVLA Articulatory
Technique

This technique is used to mobilize joints that are held in an incorrect position due to injury or repetitive strain.

This technique is very specific and often liberates ligamentous tension and nerve compression arising from the spine, pelvis, or extremities. Often the mobilization of potential energy within the restricted area is released providing a “pop” or “crack.”

Musculoskeletal
Injection

Injections of nerve blocking agents, homeopathic agents, or corticosteroids may provide appreciable pain relief

and stop the vicious cycle of pain, spasm, inflammation. 

Often injections are used as an adjunct for stubborn areas of severe strain, joint pain, or serious acute ligamentous injuries.

Counterstrain

An indirect technique of relaxing spastic muscles and ligaments by reseting the neurologic connection with the brain and the spindle fiber of the tissue

Muscle Energy

Tissues are moved toward the restrictive barrier and then a specific isometric contraction against resistance is utilized to increase range of motion and stretch congested tense muscles

Myofascial Release

Gentle massage used with compression or traction to encourage relaxation of muscles and fascia

Balanced Ligamentous Tension & Facilitated Positional Release

Balances the tension of ligaments and fascia surrounding each joint for optimal motion and support.
