Houston Greenway, TX Chiropractic Services
Chiropractic Care
Partner with our chiropractors at Houston, Texas, to alleviate your pain and discomfort. We can help with various musculoskeletal pains using one or a combination of the following procedures:
Back Alignment
Several risk factors can lead to a misaligned back, such as work-related injuries, poor posture during exercises, and old age. Slouching can stretch the ligaments in an irregular and unhealthy position, causing back pains. Misaligned backs also result from accidents and underlying conditions such as arthritis, scoliosis, and osteoporosis.
Diet & Nutritional Counseling
Proper nutrition encourages musculoskeletal health. Patients seeking treatment from a chiropractor need to understand the importance of a balanced diet to go along with their recovery plan. For example, patients recovering from a spinal injury need to be mindful of their calorie intake to decrease the risk of weight gain. Moreover, having more portions of protein in one’s meal assists in muscle repair.
Holistic & Preventive Care
Our holistic care aims to improve your physical and mental well-being. We partner this service with preventive maintenance so you can enjoy the best quality of life. We can help you avoid costly medical treatments caused by reinjury or more severe conditions.
Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation services aim to help patients ease their pre-injury lifestyle. We can nurse your previously injured limbs and other affected areas back to their pre-injured state. Address acute and severe pain that results from an accident or medical condition with the help of LifeClinic of Greenway, Texas.
Accident Injury Rehabilitation
Vehicular accidents often leave victims with serious physical injuries such as broken bones, open wounds, sprains, and even limb loss. Our accident injury rehabilitation helps victims return in the most minimally invasive way possible. We can help you manage the pain, flexibility, and limited range of motion of the affected area from the accident.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Injuries from sports can be caused by many factors such as improper posture and form, lack of warm-up and training, and poor use of equipment during conditioning. These complications can also come from a bad fall, trip, or repetitive stress on a joint. Professional athletes and sports enthusiasts are advised to visit a doctor as soon as possible to prevent the injury from getting worse. Our sports injury rehabilitation services can help you return to the field and back to your best shape in no time.
Work Injury Rehabilitation
Workplaces enforce precautions to ensure that employees are safe and free from harm. However, accidents like falling down the stairs, dropping equipment on your feet, or tripping on wet floors could still happen. The complications brought by these accidents often result in loss of income, work inefficiency, and lingering symptoms. Our work injury rehabilitation services help patients transition back to work safely.
Pre- and post-operative Care
Pre-operative optimization ensures that patients are well-informed of what happens during their surgery. Pre-operative care lets patients know more about their upcoming procedure, such as its risks, side effects, and benefits. The patient will also undergo a series of tests to know whether or not they are physically prepared to undergo the procedure.
As with post-operative care, we make sure patients know that they are on the right path to recovery. Our doctors regularly check their injury site to prevent infection. Moreover, we will adjust the patient’s daily routines,sleeping habits, diet, and activities as they recover.
Special Services
Our clinic in Greenway, Texas, can treat various conditions that need more specific treatments. Apart from chiropractic care and rehabilitation services, our medical team uses specialized tools in providing holistic care for our patients.
Normatec Compression
Normatec can reduce the swelling of muscles, lessen pain sensitivity, and lower blood lactate levels. This treatment is also ideal for decreasing muscle fatigue, increasing flexibility, and improving the range of motion of limbs. Anyone can benefit from NormaTec therapy, from pregnant women who wish to decrease fluid build-up in their legs to professional athletes training hard daily.
Hydromassage
Hydromassage uses warm, pressurized water that moves up and down the body in massaging the muscles for improved circulation in the area. It holds similar benefits as a regular massage as it also reduces pain and soreness from exercises and other medical conditions.
Theragun Compressive Therapy
Theragun can briefly be described as a “power drill self-massager.” It uses percussive therapy to speed up muscle recovery time and to reduce pain after a workout. It can be used by many people, from professional athletes to weekend warriors. This soft tissue manipulation massage uses a hammering or thumping movement in various motions, speeds, and pressure to treat the affected area.
Conditions We Treat
Our Greenway clinic can manage various conditions our patients may have. Our doctors use chiropractic care, rehabilitation services, or other special procedures in treating these conditions and complications. Below are some of the many complications we can address:
Patellofemoral Syndrome or Knee Pain
Patellofemoral syndrome or knee pain affects the various bone structures and soft tissues surrounding the knee. It can be localized in one specific area or diffused throughout the knee. It occurs from physical activity and obesity and can be triggered by other problems such as a foot injury.
Repetitive Stress Disorder
Doing the same action over and over on a limb for prolonged periods puts one at a high risk of developing repetitive stress disorders. The upper limbs and forearms are more prone to having repetitive stress disorder. Common symptoms of RSD include burning pain, tremors and numbness, lack of strength, difficulty performing simple tasks, and chronically cold hands.
Sprains and Strains
Sprains and strains are similar in nature but vary in the particular body part it affects. A sprain is a common sports injury wherein the ligaments are stretched and torn due to overuse or excessive stretching. Strains occur on the tendons when they are pulled away or stretched from the bone due to twisting actions. Strains are also more likely to develop over time from overuse. Our various muscle treatment and rehabilitation procedures can help alleviate the pains from your sprains and strains.
What to Expect
1 Examination
During your 1st visit, our providers will hear the story of what brings you in, perform a new patient examination to determine the root cause of your problem, and briefly summarize what was found.
The examination consists of motion tests, palpation, reflex testing, and muscle strength, to help identify dysfunction in movement patterns and poor muscle engagement.
2 Report Of Finding
During your second visit, your provider will recap what was found in the examination, discuss a solution, review what your personal contribution to care will be, and begin treatment on that day.
3 Daily Appointments
On each subsequent visit, our providers will perform routine assessments to ensure you are track with your treatment plan and provide treatment.
Treatment visits typically consist of a combination of:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: restores, maintains, and optimizes human function by eliminating interference within the joint and soft tissue thus restoring the synergy between your joints, nerves, and muscles. Chiropractic adjustments are only available during sessions with a chiropractor.
- Integrated Muscle and Joint Therapy (IMJT): an advanced, active form of soft tissue treatment that effectively integrates the mind, muscular, skeletal, and neurological systems to achieve optimum balance throughout the body. IMJT is a patented technique available exclusively at LifeClinic.
- Rehabilitation: carefully selected exercises and activities used in a specific sequence in order to reinforce changes made with the adjustment and IMJT. Rehabilitation retrains the body’s “movement habits.”
