Ardmore, PA Chiropractic Services
Chiropractic Care
Our Ardmore, PA clinic uses various methods and techniques in treating your musculoskeletal pains and injuries, including the following:
Spine Alignment
A misaligned spine doesn’t only affect your posture. It also causes chronic headaches, fatigue, and pain in various areas of your back, specifically the lower lumbar area. Chiropractic care corrects your vertebral joints using manually controlled force from a professional or a tool.
Hip Alignment
When your hips are uneven, usually appearing as one hip being higher than the other, it means you have a lateral pelvic tilt. This condition often comes with muscle tightness, poor posture, and a protruding stomach. Through our hip alignment procedure, we can resolve these issues and improve your quality of life.
Back Alignment
Chiropractic care can relieve the pain you feel in the different regions of your back. It removes the need for invasive treatment of acute and chronic back pain. The techniques done in a back alignment procedure are similar to those used for spine alignment.
Full Body Adjustment
LifeClinic of Ardmore provides a holistic treatment for all your body pains and stress. A full body chiropractic adjustment targets your body’s different points to help soothe discomfort and improve blood circulation.
Rehabilitation
Apart from chiropractic care, LifeClinic of Ardmore also offers rehabilitation services. We can help you recover from an accident, operation, and other medical conditions. Be on the right track to recovery and go back to your normal way of life.
Accident Injury Rehabilitation
After meeting an accident and experiencing trauma to the body, you may need rehabilitation to recover from your injuries. Accident injury rehabilitation aims to improve your mobility and increase your strength. It can treat your soreness, pain, movement impairments, and muscle stiffness.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Athletes are always at risk of getting injuries or accidents because of constant training and competing. Our rehabilitation services treat sports-related injuries from strains, sprains, knee injuries, and fractures. We can help make your recovery comfortable and quick so you can go back on the court or field as soon as possible.
Work Injury Rehabilitation
The workplace is also a site where you can meet an accident. You may slip on a wet floor, trip down a flight of stairs, bump into a door, or get your fingers stuck on a drawer. Regain productivity and efficiency after a full recovery through our rehabilitation services.
Pre- and Post-operative Care
Our Ardmore clinic also treats patients who are preparing or have just undergone surgery. We help our patients physically and mentally prepare for surgery by informing them what happens during the surgery and what to expect after it.
Conditions We Treat
LifeClinic of Ardmore, PA, offers chiropractic care and rehabilitation services in treating different musculoskeletal conditions. Below are some of the many conditions we can address:
Arthritis
Arthritis is the swelling of one’s joints. It decreases your range of motion, making everyday activities more difficult. It is a rheumatic condition that becomes more common the older you get. Medical professionals suggest various treatments with the general goal of reducing symptoms to improve the quality of life. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Extremity Pain
Extremities are the limbs or appendages of the body. Your upper extremities, including the arms, shoulders, and neck, experience pain due to wear and tear. On the other hand, pain in the lower extremities like the legs, feet, and ankle area is due to poor posture or trauma.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is defined as the sideways curvature of the spine. It commonly occurs just before puberty. Diagnosing scoliosis is easy because there are evident visual signs such as uneven shoulders, waist, and a more prominent shoulder blade. While most scoliosis cases are mild, some develop to become more disabling such as hindering proper breathing.
Lower Back Pain
The lumbar spine or lower back is located just below the ribcage. It is a structure of bones, muscles, and nerves that work together to provide you with the support and flexibility you need. Lower back pains cause a stabbing or shooting sensation, making it harder to move or stand upright. While most lower back pains often heal naturally, some cases may require the help of a doctor.
Upper Back Pain
The upper back portion of your body can be found from the base of your neck down to the bottom of the ribcage. The twelve bones that make up the upper back can be the location of your pain. It is often caused by poor posture, an injury, or the overuse of a muscle.
Dizziness & Vertigo
These two conditions often come together. Dizziness affects your eyes and ears and causes a lightheadedness feeling, wooziness, and imbalance. In addition to these, vertigo brings a spinning sensation as if your surroundings are moving, making you lose your balance.
What to Expect
1 Examination
During your 1st visit, our providers will hear the story of what brings you in, perform a new patient examination to determine the root cause of your problem, and briefly summarize what was found.
The examination consists of motion tests, palpation, reflex testing, and muscle strength, to help identify dysfunction in movement patterns and poor muscle engagement.
2 Report Of Finding
During your second visit, your provider will recap what was found in the examination, discuss a solution, review what your personal contribution to care will be, and begin treatment on that day.
3 Daily Appointments
On each subsequent visit, our providers will perform routine assessments to ensure you are track with your treatment plan and provide treatment.
Treatment visits typically consist of a combination of:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: restores, maintains, and optimizes human function by eliminating interference within the joint and soft tissue thus restoring the synergy between your joints, nerves, and muscles. Chiropractic adjustments are only available during sessions with a chiropractor.
- Integrated Muscle and Joint Therapy (IMJT): an advanced, active form of soft tissue treatment that effectively integrates the mind, muscular, skeletal, and neurological systems to achieve optimum balance throughout the body. IMJT is a patented technique available exclusively at LifeClinic.
- Rehabilitation: carefully selected exercises and activities used in a specific sequence in order to reinforce changes made with the adjustment and IMJT. Rehabilitation retrains the body’s “movement habits.”
