It is shorter in length and consists mainly of hands-on treatment and exercise prescription. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/7b8ddfc8-827e-4b47-836e-aabb87b9d3ed/IMG_7580+copy.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613602066047-A628UDOVIFPP8FV6JEZM/IMG_7862.jpg Home Virtual Appointments Virtual Appointments are available for assessment, advice and exercise prescription if you are unable to come into the office for any reason. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613601879062-CP5181DK620QXPKEC330/IMG_7657-2.jpg Home Initial Assessment An Initial Assessment is the first time we meet each other and when I do most of my investigative work. During the appointment, I will take a history, perform a physical exam, provide you with a diagnosis and treat the affected area. I welcome questions throughout the process! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/9ec744d7-6542-4a4e-bf7d-b77d6a7b776f/Living+Squared+Water+Mark+.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613601953923-FY557O7EO9DSGE367NZG/IMG_7456.jpg Home Re-Assessment A Re-Assessment is done in three scenarios: • You have a new complaint that needs to be assessed • Have not been in for treatment in 3 months or longer • Have been treated for more than 24 visits in a row https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613509803271-5W2O7SW1MA7BS4A1VAIS/IMG_7760.jpg Home https://www.katiethechiro.com/faqs daily 0.75 2022-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613600850391-FNSB3TPZ4CWZOO0FINJN/knuckles.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613523947100-I1EWGIEGVU5U5PQY4OWY/IMG_7924.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613147930630-UOCGI32ZRZCW2JBYQQ6Z/nathan-dumlao-tG4waP7YiAg-unsplash.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613146087217-XFZN3N5J16C4ZMQIEFBX/image-asset.jpeg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613600887194-P7V2OL609EEUKUZB4Y0K/workout+clothes.jpg FAQs https://www.katiethechiro.com/treatments daily 0.75 2022-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613601063025-1KAT6JA9SFVLR7NEHBL3/IMG_7848.jpg Treatments Ergonomic and Posture Assessments: Not all painful conditions are caused by traumatic injuries, in fact, many can be caused by poor posture or poor work space set ups. I can provide an assessment of both and give you ideas of how to make changes so that you are better supported and in the most advantageous set up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613508884821-O0Y9J59PW7KEW6X4Y1UU/IMG_7800.jpg Treatments Rehabilitative Exercise Programming: My goal is always to reduce pain and maintain pain-free function. A large part of maintenance involves keeping the muscles and bones strong and balanced. For each condition, I will create a program that is tailored to fit your needs and ability. I will demonstrate, assign, help you practice and progress these exercises to keep you functioning at your optimal capacity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613508817319-U8SF3A19FECBDUSAHL59/IMG_7600.jpg Treatments MRT (Myofascial Release Therapy): Refers to a type of soft tissue therapy. It incorporates stretching and shortening the muscle with tension and pressure along the muscle fibers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613508451272-B6PH065G52TNPOETMWYM/IMG_7564.jpg Treatments Adjustments: A high velocity, low amplitude thrust that is applied to a joint that currently does not have its full or normal range of motion. It briefly takes the joint beyond its normal range of motion in order to restore its normal function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613510095790-PMR19GU93OO3C1JIVB4Q/IMG_7512.jpg Treatments Toggle Board Extremity Adjusting: A toggle board is a small padded board that is used to adjust smaller joints like wrists or ankles. Recognized by the clapping noise that it makes, the board provides a quick deceleration under the joint in addition to a thrust over the joint to decrease the amount of pressure needed to adjust. This technique can allow a much gentler feel to an adjustment while still using the same amount of total force. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613508514352-FJRHO6PMOT27L1RR2DG1/IMG_7631.jpg Treatments Taping: I provide athletic taping to help support joints and/or activate muscles for certain injuries. This can help with pain reduction, stability and can assist with gradual return to sport. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613509167759-B81LI9L0N6DV1ZMWF4RH/IMG_7494.jpg Treatments Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy: This technique uses a metal tool to massage or scrape the skin gently. It can be used to stretch muscle fibers and increase range of motion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613508374032-5EZQSQN0OSAILE07AKF5/IMG_7498.jpg Treatments Nerve Flossing: Movement patterns used to pull a nerve back and forth through its pathway so that it can stay free of entrapments and reduce any inflammation around it. Vibration can be applied to the nerve during floss patterns to help break up entrapments and reduce pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613510248321-WFP4VI8OBLT219PUN57I/IMG_7644.jpg Treatments Acupuncture and Dry Needling: A treatment in which very thin needles are inserted into certain points in the body. It can be used to provide pain relief, interrupt the pain-spasm cycle, increase blood flow, stimulate specific systems in the body and increase activation of muscles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613508210750-IKSJNU9XSWG62NZ4MSTI/IMG_7533.jpg Treatments Joint Mobilizations: A low velocity, low amplitude technique used to create movement in restricted joints. It will often feel like firm, gentle “nudging” at certain joints in the spine or extremities. A gentle, effective alternative to Adjustments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613606524089-BB2DRBE17BT5K4Z5IWBZ/sriyoga-ashram-AJdjW36KOQs-unsplash.jpg Treatments Hips and knees Osteoarthritis Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee) Iliotibial Band Syndrome Patellar Tracking Issues or Dislocations Pre and Rehabilitation for replacement surgery or ligament/muscle repair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613603886463-GTEMU5RCRSBS5Q0OTEZQ/patrick-malleret-14TRLYeB3uQ-unsplash.jpg Treatments Upper back and shoulder Frozen Shoulder Rotator cuff tear Rib Dysfunction Impingement Syndrome Scapular Dyskinesis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613606377093-LV8ULZX2XU22G0N2J124/kate-hliznitsova-QSupFdwa3F0-unsplash.jpg Treatments Elbow and wrist Tennis and Golfer’s elbow Carpal Tunnel Rehabilitation from fracture Nerve entrapments or neuropathies including Median, Ulnar and Radial nerve https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613606628413-OHB2BTZNAUOFVZYYHMD5/dmitry-konnov-pPMDsiKvFxs-unsplash.jpg Treatments Lower back Sciatica/pinched nerve Stenosis Disc Herniations/Degenerative Disc Disease Chronic and acute low back pain Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613604148927-HBMG834WKK2SRT3NUM79/conscious-design-Xu-4rcRvjX0-unsplash.jpg Treatments Feet and ankles Plantar Fasciitis Ankle Sprains Achilles Tendonopathy Lower Kinetic Chain Dysfunction Metatarsalgia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600b58e8a3b37b41c60526ee/1613603859003-DTFSMQQG0JTWLD3QLIR4/taisiia-shestopal-AflKiLy1RfU-unsplash.jpg Treatments Neck and head Chronic and acute neck pain Concussions Headaches Disc Herniations Dizziness and Vertigo TMD (Jaw Pain)
