Chiropractic care is about the entire body and how to improve the quality of your life through non-invasive means. In Lynbrook, NY, Dr. Peter Luecken offers a personalized approach to chiropractic care. After an initial exam, he will discuss with you what your goals are and help you to meet those goals with the many chiropractic options available including nutrition, hands-on manipulations, and medication-free pain relief.
Chiropractic adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments help to realign the vertebrae that have gone out of alignment. This can be done with the hands or with computer-assisted pulsed instruments like the Sigma that offer precise oscillating force. When the spine is in order, messages can get from the brain to the parts of the body without interruption. They allow your body to function at its highest level without any discomfort.
Chiropractic massage therapy
Chiropractic massage therapy works very well together with other therapies. The relaxation of the muscles allows the joints that are being manipulated to respond more easily. Relaxation also helps with pain relief. Some types of massage used in chiropractic care are deep tissue massage, which is used to target specific trouble spots, relaxation massage, which is an indulgent pampering experience, and sports massage to get athletes ready for their performance or after to relieve pain and injury.
Therapeutic nutrition
While everyone knows you are what you eat, the average person has limited knowledge about how to treat their body and what an important part nutrition plays. Therapeutic diets come in many forms. They are usually adaptations to a regular diet suited to whatever the patient's needs are. A diabetic diet is an example of a therapeutic diet.
A therapeutic diet is designed to provide something that the patient requires, whether it is more protein, or less salt, to restore the patient to optimum health. It can, if necessary, help with weight control, but that isn't necessarily the main focus. The main focus is nourishing your body with healthy, clean food that contributes to good health.
Physio-therapy
Physio-therapy includes physical modalities that stretch and strengthen soft tissues. Physio-therapy works very well alongside chiropractic care in an integrated medical practice. It involves hands-on approaches to helping the body heal and allowing freedom of movement. Therapeutic exercise can help the body to recover and allow you to continue your therapy at home.
