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.
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
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.
