Chiropractic Adjustments
During a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Baranski will apply force to your spine, limbs, joints, and muscles to adjust their position and relieve imbalances. By restoring spinal alignment, Dr. Baranski can relieve pressure on nerves and vertebrae and encourage a herniated disc to shift back into place. Dr. Baranski uses the Graston technique for chiropractic adjustments, meaning that he uses instruments for precise adjustments. These instruments assist with breaking down scar tissue, relieving pain and inflammation, and improving function and range of motion.
Massage Therapy
A herniated disc can cause pain, stiffness, inflammation, and loss of range of motion. During massage therapy, Dr. Baranski will target specific areas of dysfunction to relieve pain and stress, alleviate tension, and improve circulation and blood flow. Massage therapy can promote relaxation and overall wellness, and improve your posture, flexibility, core stability, and movement. Massage therapy is the perfect complement to chiropractic adjustments for herniated discs.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses low-level laser light to penetrate your soft tissues and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. During laser therapy, Dr. Baranski will administer laser light to the targeted treatment area, which encourages the body to release natural painkillers and chemicals that accelerate healing and jumpstart cell, tissue, and nerve regeneration. Laser therapy also improves the flow of blood, nutrients, and oxygen to the injured area, which can relieve pain and inflammation and improve range of motion and function.
