Upper Cervical Adjustment (Atlas Orthogonal)
Atlas orthogonal is a specific type of chiropractic treatment that focuses on the upper cervical spine, particularly the atlas (C1) vertebra. The atlas is the first vertebra located at the top of the spine, where it balances the skull. Research shows that misalignment of the atlas can cause a variety of neurological and musculoskeletal problems throughout the body.
During an Atlas Orthogonal treatment, we use a special instrument to deliver a precise and gentle force to the atlas vertebra. This instrument is designed to minimize force and discomfort. The goal is to realign the atlas and improve nerve function.
Cold Laser Therapy (Low Level Laser Therapy)
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a treatment that uses low-intensity lasers to target specific areas of the body. Unlike surgical or ablative lasers, cold lasers don’t generate heat. Instead, they deliver concentrated light to stimulate healing and reduce pain. The light is thought to interact with cells, potentially increasing their energy production and promoting tissue repair.
Cold laser therapy is used for a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, wound healing, and inflammation. It’s generally considered a safe and non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects. However, research on its effectiveness is ongoing, and some conditions may respond better than others.
Fat Loss / Body Contouring
Zerona therapy is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that utilizes cold laser technology to target stubborn fat deposits. FDA-cleared for overall body circumference reduction, Zerona employs low-level lasers to create temporary pores in fat cell membranes. This allows the fatty contents to leak out and be flushed away naturally through the lymphatic system. The treatment involves applying multiple laser pads to targeted areas like the waist, thighs, or hips. Unlike procedures like liposuction or CoolSculpting, Zerona is painless and requires no downtime.
While Zerona boasts potential inch loss and body slimming effects, it’s important to manage expectations. Zerona is best suited for individuals close to their ideal weight who want to address specific trouble spots. It’s not a replacement for a healthy diet and exercise plan for overall weight management.
Natural Drug Alternatives
Orozco Living Wellness offers natural supplements to compliment physical adjustments. These supplements aim to address various health concerns offering a safe and natural alternative to prescription drugs.
Common examples include glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health. These work by supporting cartilage health, which can potentially reduce pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. Another option might be fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s offer anti-inflammatory benefits and may help manage pain and stiffness. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these supplements can vary.
Pain Management
Chiropractic care can be a helpful option for managing chronic pain, particularly musculoskeletal pain. Chronic pain is often a result of misalignments of the spine, especially in the lower back, which can irritate nerves leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
A chiropractor will assess your specific condition and may use spinal adjustments, a core component of chiropractic care, to manipulate the joints back into proper alignment. This can improve nerve function, decrease pain, and enhance range of motion. Additionally, chiropractors often incorporate other therapies like massage, physiotherapy exercises, and lifestyle recommendations to promote healing and pain management. While research is ongoing to determine the effectiveness of chiropractic care for all chronic pain types, it can be a valuable tool in managing pain alongside other treatment approaches.
TMJ / Ankle / Knee / Elbow Pain Management
Orozco Living Chiropractic can address pain in various joints, including TMJ (temporomandibular joint), elbow, knee, and ankle. For TMJ dysfunction, we may use manual adjustments to the jaw joint and surrounding muscles to improve mobility and reduce pain.
For elbow, knee, and ankle pain, we will likely focus on spinal alignment to ensure proper nerve communication to these joints. Manual adjustments and mobilizations of the affected joint itself are also common techniques that we use. Additionally, we may prescribe specific strengthening exercises and stretches to improve joint stability and function.
