Chiropractic Care for East Valley
Pain, suffering, and suboptimal health should never be accepted. Dr. John Scott Mettham and Dr. Jazmin Torres at Mountainside Wellness Center have dedicated their careers to providing the most natural and effective techniques for residents in and around Phoenix’s East Valley including those below.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Musculoskeletal alignment is imperative for pain-free living and optimal health. When a misalignment is present, it means that other spinal components, such as discs and muscles, have to sustain more pressure than they should. It also puts you at risk of nerve compression, which can impair your health and wellness. Adjustments are a natural and highly effective method for restoring and maintaining proper alignment.
Massage Therapy
Whether due to overuse or compensating for misalignment, soft tissue injuries and tension can lead to pain that makes most tasks and movements intolerable. Massage therapy is a method through which tension is relieved, blood flow is restored, inflammation is reduced, and range of motion increases.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation emits small electrical currents, similar to those that the body naturally emits, into troubled areas of soft tissue. These currents create contractions that help release muscle spasms, improve blood flow, and decrease inflammation.
The Graston Technique
The Graston Technique is a method that uses specialized tools to locate and break up areas of tension in the soft tissues. In addition to breaking up tension, it helps break up scar tissue that forms around injuries and causes chronic pain. It also improves blood flow and restores range of motion. The Graston Technique is a service Dr. Mettham and Dr. Torres are specially trained to provide that sets Mountainside Wellness Center apart from other East Valley providers.
Active Release Technique
Trigger points are another soft tissue problem that can cause a great deal of chronic pain as well as numbness, weakness, and tingling. They are tender knots that form in the muscles or fascia that often restrict the range of motion. The Active Release Technique combines pressure with movement to break up these knots, providing relief, restoring blood flow, and improving range of motion.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy or therapeutic lasers emit low levels of laser energy into the deep layers of soft tissue, especially those that are often inaccessible through other methods. The cells in the area absorb the energy, which helps break up tension and trigger points as well as stimulate tissue regeneration.
