Stinson Chiropractic Center employs an integrative approach to address Degenerative Discs and Joints, aiming to alleviate symptoms, improve function, and enhance overall well-being. Here's how our comprehensive approach, including K-Laser Therapy, can benefit individuals dealing with these conditions:

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD):

Chiropractic Adjustments:

• Skilled chiropractors at Stinson Chiropractic Center focus on spinal adjustments to address misalignments and promote optimal spinal function.
• Adjustments may help reduce pressure on degenerating discs, potentially alleviating pain and improving mobility.

Spinal Decompression:

• The center may utilize spinal decompression therapy, a non-invasive technique that gently stretches the spine. This can create space between vertebrae, potentially reducing pressure on degenerated discs.

K-Laser Therapy:

• K-Laser Therapy plays a vital role in DDD management. By utilizing low-level laser light, it stimulates cellular activity, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and potentially contributing to pain relief.

Core Strengthening Exercises:

• Tailored exercise programs focusing on core strength can help stabilize the spine and provide support to degenerating discs.

Nutritional Guidance:

• Stinson Chiropractic Center may provide nutritional guidance to support overall spinal health. Proper nutrition can play a role in managing inflammation and promoting the health of intervertebral discs.

Degenerative Joint Disease (Osteoarthritis):

Chiropractic Care

• Chiropractors address misalignments in joints, helping to improve joint function and reduce discomfort associated with osteoarthritis.

K-Laser Therapy:

• K-Laser Therapy is employed to target affected joints. By reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair, it can contribute to pain relief and improved joint mobility.

Joint Mobilization Techniques:

• Gentle joint mobilization techniques are used to enhance range of motion and reduce stiffness in affected joints.

Soft Tissue Therapies:

Soft tissue therapies, such as massage and myofascial release, may be incorporated to address muscle tension and enhance overall joint function.

Customized Exercise Plans:

Individualized exercise plans focus on strengthening muscles around affected joints, providing support and stability.

Stinson Chiropractic Center emphasizes patient education, providing information on lifestyle modifications, ergonomic practices, and self-care to manage degenerative conditions.
