At Riverside Chiropractic we specialize in chiropractic adjusting using a variety of hands on and instrument adjusting in order to provide the most comfortable adjustment possible.
Dr. Holstein adjusts the spine as well as the extremities (shoulders, knees, feet, ankles, elbows, wrists, etc) to reduce adhesions and restore proper joint ranges of motion, taking pressure off the nervous system.
Instrument Adjusting
The doctor also uses adjusting instruments for gentle adjusting:
Variable Frequency Adjustor and an Arthrostim.
Decompression and Traction Therapy
Spinal Decompression therapy is indicated in cases of spinal arthritis, bulging or herniated discs, and /or pinched nerves. It is especially effective for low back and for neck issues.
In each case the patient lies on their back on the customizable spinal decompression table. In the case of the low back, the table gently pulls the lower back away from the mid and upper parts of the body to create a stretch in the lumbar spine. The amount of stretch is determined by the patient’s body weight. The table gently pulls the patient into traction then brings their spine back into a neutral relaxed position, then repeats this process over the course of about 10-15 minutes. This procedure creates a vacum effect on the discs, creating negative pressure, which helps them to regenerate. When repeated over time, spinal decompression therapy can help to heal bulging or herniated discs, ease the effects of spinal arthritis, or disc degeneration.
Neck decompression is similar in that the patient lies on their back and their supported head gets gently pulled gently up and away from the torso in a similar manner as described above. This therapy is effective for neck arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and for pinched nerves in the neck and upper back regions.
Rapid Release Therapy
Rapid Release Therapy is focused on relief of muscle and joint pain. It uses targeted high speed vibration to deliver compression waves to the muscles and joints. It uses the optimum frequency along with a short 2mm stroke, resulting in a powerful yet gentle therapy that treats injured as well as aging joints. It is completely safe, fast, painless and long-lasting. Rapid Release Therapy is focused on relief of soft tissue problems affecting nerves, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Soft tissue disorders are usually a result of overuse, injury or surgery. Here is a partial list of conditions that Rapid Release Therapy can help with:
Neck pain
Mid Back pain
Low Back pain
Shoulder pain
Elbow pain
Wrist pain
Hip pain
Leg pain
Knee pain
Foot pain
Plantar Fasciitis
TMJ
Cold/Warm Thermostim
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a therapeutic modality that we offer in the office to help relieve pain while reducing muscle spasms and joint contractures.
The head of the ultrasound device is applied to an area of discomfort on the body and uses pulsed high frequency sound waves to travel within the body tissue to circulate blood flow.
The increase in blood circulation improves the healing of injured tissue.
Most patients experience a comfortable, warm, tingling sensation.
If you suffer from sprains, ligament injuries, bursitis, tendonitis, tightness of the joints, or muscle tears,
this is a perfect treatment option for you.
Infrared Light Therapy
Infrared Light Therapy is a therapeutic modality that we offer in the office that speeds
up tissue healing and reduces inflammation.
Scars, injuries, soft tissue injuries, torn ligaments, tendinitis, and more benefit from Light Therapy treatments.
Soft Tissue Release
Dr. Holstein is certified in a massage technique called Soft Tissue Release which,
when appropriately applied will lengthen and stretch tight contracted muscles
which adds benefit of holding adjustments for longer periods of time
Xrays
Digital spinal xrays are taken on site
Massage Table
A massage table treatment is performed prior to most adjustments. This includes lying on a heated table while rollers gently massage up and down the back and neck, opening up stiff joints, improving circulation to the spinal muscles and aiding in relaxing the body prior to the adjustment
Stretching and Exercise Coaching
Identifying which muscles need to be stretched and which ones need to be strengthened is an important part of long term stability. We will support you by teaching and instructing you on proper stretching and strengthening exercises to help you feel better and move better!
