| WE HAVE A NEW APPROACH TO CHRONIC BACK PAIN! |
| Decompression Therapy | -Can Eliminate Your Back Pain NOW and FOREVER! |
| Effective in Relieving: • Chronic Low Back Pain! • Sciatica • Neck Pain • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Osteoarthritis • Disc Herniation & Bulges! • Disc Deterioration and more... |
We
have a new back pain treatment that may help you! D.T.S.-Decompression Traction System This Chiropractic Treatment is a multi-session process that decreases pressure inside the disc and promotes self-healing. As the pressure in the discs is decreased, bulging disc material retracts and damaged structures in the spine are healed and rehabilitated. A Safe and Effective Alternative to Surgery |
Decompression
Therapy is performed on an intervertebral decompression
device.

| Chiropractic Adjustments |
 |
Dr. Pozhitsky utilizes a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. A subluxation is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves. |
| The
goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to correct the spinal
subluxations detected during the examination. To do that, pressure is applied to the bone and "unlocks" it from its improper position. Adjustments help return the bones to a more normal position or motion, restoring the body's natural healing. |

| Active Release (ARTS) |
|
Active Release Technique (ART) is a soft tissue therapy that focuses on the muscles, tendons, fascia and nerves. When muscle injury occurs, adhesions (also known as scar tissue) form in the muscles as a result of healing. These adhesions make the muscle more pain sensitive, tighter and weaker. This predisposes the patient to repetitive injury. Active Release has the patient perform movements to take the muscle from the shortened to the lengthened position while the provider applies tension to break up adhesions in the muscle. This technique is therefore more aggressive than massage therapy and is used for repetitive strain injuries, muscle adhesions and joint dysfunction. |
 |
This
technique is most commonly recognized to help athletes improve
performance by maximizing muscle function and flexibility and
preventing injury, therefore becoming an integral part of an athlete's
preparation for their sport. Active release technique can also help
with: chronic neck and back pain carpal tunnel shoulder problems tennis
elbow headaches thoracic outlet syndrome plantar fasciitis muscle
strains nerve entrapments |
| Trigger Point Therapy |
 
|
What
is Trigger Point Therapy? Trigger point therapy is a bodywork technique that involves the applying of pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. Sometimes massage and trigger point therapy are performed together. What are Trigger Points? Trigger points are areas of tenderness in a muscle. There are two basic types of trigger points: active and latent. Active trigger points cause muscular pain and will refer pain and tenderness to another area of the body when pressure is applied. Latent trigger points only exhibit pain when compressed, they do not refer pain to other areas of the body. Latent trigger points are believed to be one of the causes of stiff joints and restricted range of motion of old age. |
 |
What
is the Purpose of Trigger Point Therapy? The purpose of trigger point therapy is to eliminate pain and to re-educate the muscles into pain-free habits. After several treatments, the swelling and stiffness of neuromuscular pain is reduced, range of motion is increased, tension is relieved, and circulation, flexibility and coordination are improved. |
| Ischemic Compression |
|
Ischemic
compression is used in trigger point therapy. What is ischemic compression? Ischemic compression is sustained digital pressure applied directly on a trigger point (areas of tenderness in a muscle) in order to deactivate it. It can be done with a thumb, finger or a tool. What is the purpose of ischemic compression? The purpose of ischemic compression is to deliberately increase the blockage of blood to an area so that, upon release, there will be a resurgence of blood. This washes away waste products, supplies necessary oxygen and helps the affected tissue to heal. . |
|
What
will ischemic compression help? Headaches, TMJ syndrome, repetitive stress syndrome, sciatica, whiplash, or any type of chronic muscular pain, where trigger points are involved. |
| Ultrasound |
|
What
is Ultrasound? Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves and it is administered in the region of soft tissue injuries. How does Ultrasound work? The sound waves, some moving with a frequency of 1,000,000 waves per second, penetrate into deep into the tissues. The vibrations and heat break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations. |

Why
is Ultrasound used? The treatment can be administered directly to the affected area and it penetrates deeply. As the temperature rises, blood flow increases and muscle spasms relax thus speeding up the healing process. What are the benefits of Ultrasound? Ultrasound stimulated healing without irritation and enhances the body's natural healing ability. It is effective in treating calcium deposition, speeds metabolism and improves blood flow and reduces nerve root irritation. > DERMOSONIC© for Athletes |
| Neuromuscular Stimulation |
 |
What
is Neuromuscular Stimulation? Neuromuscular Stimulation is a special form of electrical current. It is administered at the site of soft tissue injuries, such as muscle injuries, to block pain. How does Neuromuscular Stimulation work? Low level electrical current is induced into the tissues to reduce swelling. Neuromuscular Stimulation helps to strengthen muscles and reduces painful symptoms |
|
Why
is Neuromuscular Stimulation used? It is an effective form of pain relief, recommended in cases in which pain is accompanied by swelling and inflammation What are the benefits of Neuromuscular Stimulation? Neuromuscular Stimulation reduces the sensation of pain, decreases swelling, promotes muscle tone and helps to speed the healing process. |
| Counter Strain Technique |
 Did you know? Strain CounterStrain, also referred to as Positional Release, is extremely successful in working with pregnant clients suffering sciatica and other common pregnancy discomforts where pressure is not tolerable. |
What
is the Counter Strain Technique A technique used to treat somatic dysfunction (impaired or altered function of the musculo-skeletal system). How does the Counter Strain Technique work? In this technique, the chiropractor identifies a point of maximum pain, called a tender point. Monitoring the tender point, the chiropractor positions the patient to maximally relieve the discomfort. The chiropractor holds the patient in the maximally relaxed position and then slowly returns the passive patient to a neutral body position. Success of treatment is evaluated by reassessing both the tender point and any accompanying loss of range of motion. Tender points are foci of hypertonicity resulting from reflexive muscular contracture. The chiropractor breaks the reflex cycle by positioning the patient in such a way that the hypertonic tissue is maximally relaxed. This position eliminates or minimizes stimulation leading to reflex-mediated contraction. Relaxation results in restoration of range of motion and resolution of somatic dysfunction. General Indications: All cases of pain with acute locking of a joint, as encountered in acute lombosciatalgia, whiplash injuries, torticollis, lumbago, post-traumatic cases, and periarthritis of the shoulder |
