At Hellenbrand Rabideaux Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our office.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a health care profession based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls and regulates all functions of life by controlling every cell tissue and organ of the body. Interference with the nervous system (known as a subluxation) due to structural dysfunction (misalignment of vertebrae) can cause impairment of functions both seen and unseen throughout the body.
When the nervous system is functioning at peak capacity, the human body has more energy, greater resistance to disease, and less need for pain. Only chiropractic examinations can detect such subluxations and only chiropractic adjustments can reduce their effect the nervous system to unlock the body’s natural self-healing ability to restore optimal function and health naturally and safely without the use of medication or surgery.
Dry needling is a treatment that helps treat muscle pain and soreness by placing small thin needles into specific trigger points or “knots” in order to correct movement impairments and relieve pain. This treatment is called “dry” needling because unlike shots at the doctor, no fluid is injected into the body through the needle.
The needle only remains in your skin for a short period of time – anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the patient’s need, the severity of the pain, and other variables.
Spinal decompression is a therapeutic treatment that relieves pressure on spinal discs and nerves by creating space in the spinal column. This approach can help alleviate pain, relieve pressure being placed on nerves being compressed, and reduce inflammation.
The Insight Discovery Subluxation Station is a noninvasive series of tests which allows chiropractors to scan their patient’s neurospinal health. These scans easily and accurately identify areas of nervous system interference (subluxations) that may be preventing one’s nervous system from operating efficiently. The Insight Discovery Subluxation Station has been certified by The Space Foundation, a non-profit agency founded in cooperation with NASA.
Depending on your specific condition or need, we may request x-rays from your medical doctor or other provider if they were taken.
Corrective Exercises
As needed, we educate our patients on a special stretching and exercise program designed just for them to aid in their progression to optimal health and wellness. These programs can be performed in the comfort of their own home. We also offer electrical muscle stimulation in our office to aid in recovery.
