Cryotherapy

If you have ever suffered from muscle spasms, you know how uncomfortable they can be. While medications may sometimes relieve pain, they may have unwanted side effects. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we are happy to offer our patients cryotherapy.

Cryotherapy works by applying cold compresses to the skin. Cryotherapy can be used to treat muscle spasms. In addition, it can also be an effective treatment for sprains, strains and soft tissue injuries. Several things happen in the body with the application of cold compresses or ice. The blood vessels constrict, and the skin temperature drops. Painful areas are also numbed. Cryotherapy can also help reduce swelling and inflammation, which in turn promotes healing.

A few benefits to using cryotherapy to reduce muscle spasms and pain include:

Cost: Cryotherapy is inexpensive, especially compared to other types of treatment for pain, such as medication and injections.

Few if any side effects: The skin can become red from the cold, but cryotherapy usually has very low rates of side effects.

Convenient: Cryotherapy can also be used at home to reduce discomfort and muscle spasms.

At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we believe in providing chiropractic care and services, which can improve your health and overall wellbeing. We specialize in treating a variety of problems including back and neck pain, headaches, disc problems and other causes of chronic pain.

Hip Pain

Hip pain is a common condition that is experienced by our patients, though there are many different areas of the hip that are causing the pain. Some causes of hip pain we see include arthritis, bursitis, fractures of the hip, tendon strain and muscle strain. Dr. Christopher Brill here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC provides chiropractic care to help relieve the pain and prevent further damage to the hip joint. In many situations, the hip pain is a result of the body being out of alignment.

The symptoms of hip pain not only include pain and stiffness in the hip, but also in the following areas of the body:

• Thigh


• Groin


• Buttocks


• Inside the hip joint


• Outside the hip joint

Chiropractic care helps our patients with hip pain through adjustments and manipulations, massage and preventative care. We locate the cause of the pain and use that to determine the best available treatment. We assess each case individually and work to prevent further pain episodes as much as possible. If you are experiencing hip pain and looking for a solution, call our Newport News office at 757-873-4131 for a free consultation or send us an email at drbrill.therapeuticsolutions@yahoo.com.

Migraines

For many, migraines feel worse than a severe headache. As our patients know, migraines cause debilitating pain, usually in the form of a pulsating or throbbing sensation on one side or both sides of the head. Many sufferers also deal with sensitivity to light and sound, nausea and vomiting.

Patients may experience an aura shortly before the migraine as a warning sign, which includes flashes of light and tingling in the arms or legs, but not always.

Aside from taking medications for migraines, there aren’t many ways to prevent them. However, here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC, we provide chiropractic care that helps patients reduce the frequency and severity of their migraines. Some of our patients even report they hardly get them at all when they get regular treatments from Dr. Christopher Brill.

Chiropractic treatments that are effective at relieving migraines and preventing them include massage therapy, biofeedback and adjustments, which help balance the nervous system and provide overall health, which offers a lower frequency of migraines.
