Chiropractic care in pregnancy

Q: Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors adjust or manipulate misaligned vertebrae (the bones of your spinal column) to restore correct functioning of your central nerve system. They may also work with other parts of your body affected by the misaligned vertebrae. Chiropractors may do this by using their hands and various mechanical and electrical instruments. “D.C.” stands for “Doctor of Chiropractic,” the degree New York licensed chiropractors must earn.Chiropractors care for patients suffering from a wide variety of symptoms as their cause relates to the spine, such as headaches; numbness; back, shoulder, neck, chest, rib, arm and leg pain; abnormal curvature of the spine; muscle spasms; dizziness; and even some stress, disorders, among others.

Q: Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by using evidence-basedkinesiology, electrotherapy, shockwave modality, exercise prescription, joint mobilization and health education, treats conditions such as chronic or acute pain, soft tissue injuries, cartilage damage, arthritis, gait disorders and physical impairments typically of musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, neurological and endocrinological origins. Physical therapy is used to improve a patient’s physical functions through physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis, physical intervention, rehabilitation and patient education. It is practiced by physical therapists (known as physiotherapy in many countries)In addition to clinical practice, other activities encompassed in the physical therapy profession include research, education, consultation and administration. Physical therapy is provided as a primary care treatment or alongside, or in conjunction with, other medical services.

Q: ATM2® Backproject

Active Therapeutic Movement Therapy (ATM2®) NYC has a new technique to treat back & neck,shoulder, pelvis,hip & knee pains. You can experience a reduction in pain and increase in range of motion after the very first session of Active Therapeutic Movement Therapy (ATM2) NYC . By impacting the central nervous system, ATM2® teaches the joint a “new” pain-free way to move.This clinical tool is an upright table with three belts to stabilize your movement. Once the joint is moving comfortably, your practitioner will add a weight-bearing resistance component, which creates long-lasting results and immediately helps to alter symptoms. In order to increase the effectiveness of ATM2®, we will provide you with pain-free exercises you can do at home.

Q: Super-Pulsed Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy (Low level laser therapy) that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. The technique is called “cold” laser therapy because the low levels of light aren't enough to heat your body's tissueLow-level laser therapy is a form of medicine that applies low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes to the surface of the body. Whereas high-power lasers are used in laser medicine to cut or destroy tissue, it is claimed that application of low-power lasers relieves pain or stimulates and enhances cell function

Q: ABC™ Structural Correction

Known as the posture fix technique, Advanced BioStructural Correction™, known as ABC™ for short, is a revolutionary structural application which corrects spinal structure and function through the use of specific spinal, pelvic and extremity adjustments, in combination with specialized stretches called meningeal releases.

Q: Spinal Decompression Therapy

Nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks -- gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine -- by creating negative pressure in the disc.As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.

Q: Shockwave Therapy

Shock wave therapy has emerged as a possible treatment option for patients with chronic tendon problems. The procedure uses either pressurized air or electromagnetic pulses to delivers shock waves to the body to help treat a variety of chronic disorders.Shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.

Pregnancy is a wonderful thing, but all those changes to your body can put a strain on your muscles, pelvis, neck and your back, and potentially cause posture problems and even sciatica, especially in the third trimester.

Chiropractic care might not be the obvious choice in pregnancy, but it can be a gentle, relaxing way of treating any aches and pains without taking any medications at all, leaving you free to enjoy the treatment and destress, without worrying about taking any drugs that might affect your baby.

Talk to your ob-gyn to check that there aren’t any reasons why you shouldn’t have chiropractic treatment but in most cases, chiropractic care is perfectly safe during pregnancy, and can bring great relief from pain and even help to reduce the dreaded morning sickness.

Your Chiropractor will examine you and look at your medical history before starting any treatment, and may recommend exercises you can use to keep you in the best possible shape during your pregnancy.

Chiropractic given throughout the pregnancy can keep your spine aligned perfectly, preventing back ache in many cases, and certainly relieving it if you do suffer with it, and can also help to keep your body aligned in the optimum position for an easier birth, potentially reducing time spent in labor.

If your pelvis is misaligned, it can make things more difficult at the birth as your baby may not be able to get into the ideal delivery position, but chiropractic care via the Webster Technique can carefully guide your pelvis back into balance and take away any stresses and strains, leaving the ideal amount of room for your baby to develop.

The Webster Technique is also used, with a very high success rate, to help turn breech babies naturally in the womb before labor begins, and can help to avoid the need for cesarean section.

Pregnancy is a very special time for a woman, and later in the pregnancy, the body can become uncomfortable from a curving spine due to the additional weight of the baby. Allow Launchfit™ by Clinicube® to take the very best care of you so you can relax and be as comfortable as possible right up to the big day!

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing method based on the concept that “Qi” (energy) flows throughout the body and the insertion of hair fine needles can increase and correct blockages of flow. Treatment facilitates blood circulation, oxygenating and transporting nutrients to the cells.

Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, which can help alleviate pain and correct imbalances that lead to disease and associated symptoms. Post treatment, you may feel relaxed, energized or uplifted.

Patients seeking a safe, painless alternative to prescription medication or the many side effects that accompany traditional medication, have found acupuncture to be both effective and successful.

Redcord Therapy

Redcord is a unique and effective concept for functional training. Carefully designed training using body weight and slings is at the core of the concept. A unique blend of applied scientific knowledge, patented equipment and guided advice from a certified professional ensures the Redcord system gets results.

Bridging the gap between performance oriented training and rehabilitation from injury is characteristic of Redcord's total and holistic approach.

OptoGait Analysis

What is OptoGait

is a system for optical detection made by a transmitting and a receiving bar. Each one contains 96 LEDs communicating on an infrared (visible) frequency with the same number of LEDs on the opposite bar. Once positioned on the floor or on the treadmill, the system detects the interruptions of the communication between the bars - caused by the patient’s movement - and calculates the duration and position. During the execution of a running, gait or series of jumps test, the contact and flight times can be measured with an accuracy of 1 thousandth of a second and the position of the interrupted LEDs with a space resolution of 1,041 cm. Starting from this basic data, the dedicated software measures in real-time a series of crucial data for the movement analysis

DIERS formetric 4D

The DIERS formetric is a light-optical scanning method based on Video-Raster-Stereography (VRS). Accordingly, the system consists of a light projector which projects a line grid on the back of the patient which is recorded by an imaging unit. A computer software analyzes the line curvature and generates from it – by means of the method of the Photogrammetrie – a three-dimensional model of the surface, comparable to a plaster cast. In opposition to x-ray, the DIERS formetric provides comprehensive information about the whole body statics and posture in only one measuring process, e.g. spine curvature (lateral and frontal), vertebral rotation, and pelvic position. Even muscular dysbalances can be detected based on the curvature image of the back surface.
