Diversified Technique

Diversified technique is the most widely used chiropractic manipulative technique. Dr. Christopher Brill utilizes this technique to help alleviate pain and properly align the spine. Its objective is to restore proper movement and alignment to the spine while also restoring joint function.

 

Dr. Brill will begin with an analysis of your spine. This will involve a case history and possibly X-rays of your spine. Once the area of pain is located and the malposition of one or more spinal bones is identified, a specific manual thrust is administered. The direction, speed, depth and angle of the adjustment that are used are the result of years of training, experience and a thorough understanding of spinal mechanics. The energy delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from the shifting of gas and fluids in the joint.

Radiculitis

Radiculitis is inflammation and possible damage to a nerve as it exits the spinal cord and progresses into the arm or leg. The most common cause of inflammation of the nerve root is an arthritic process or a tear in the disc or facet joint capsule that spills toxic joint fluid on the nerve. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we offer non-invasive, non-surgical treatment options for those suffering from radiculitis.

 

Unless there are concerns of nerve death or other permanent injury to the patient, the first step for treating radiculitis should be through conservative and not surgical intervention. As a chiropractic practice, it is our goal to alleviate pain without resorting to surgery. Non-Surgical treatment for radiculitis includes the following:

• Heat and/or cold therapy
• Exercises to help strengthen your back
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Physical therapy combined with activity modification

Intersegmental Traction Tables

Intersegmental traction tables gently help reestablish the normal ranges of the body’s spine. These tables also help facilitate muscle relaxation and reduce muscle spasms. It has been shown that daily use of an intersegmental traction table greatly accelerates recovery progress from a back injury. We utilize this technology at Therapeutic Solutions LLC so our patients are not only comfortable while on the table, but they are actually working with them to improve their health.

 

When the spine's postural muscles (the muscles that hold you upright) are traumatized, or negatively impacted from an accident, injury, fatigue, or poor posture, spasms occur. Our intersegmental traction table carefully lengthens the postural muscles of your spine in a comfortable, even manner and allows normal joint motion, circulation and mobility to return.

 

During a 10-minute session, the intersegmental roller table interacts with your body in a massage-like fashion. The contact pressure can easily be adjusted to suit individual needs and sensitivities. Thanks to its quiet, unique and precision-patented motion design, the intersegmental traction table treats all body sizes, shapes, and weights equally and effectively, including children.

Facet Syndrome

For patients that are experiencing persistent, chronic pain in any part of your spine, from your neck to your lower back, you may be suffering from a condition called Facet Syndrome. This condition develops in the small joints located between each vertebra. This part of your spine is always in motion, providing the spine with both the stability and flexibility needed to perform any task where movement is necessary. Friction between the bones, however, leads to tenderness, swelling, stiffness and pain.

 

When it comes to diagnosing Facet Syndrome, it is important to work with a medical professional who specializes in spine health. As a chiropractor, Dr. Christopher Brill is trained extensively in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic back/neck pain. In most cases, symptoms are very similar to those of other conditions so it is very important to be properly diagnosed.

 

A condition like Facet Syndrome can be treated without surgery thanks to chiropractic care. Thanks to advanced non-surgical therapies that include adjustments and manipulations, we are able to lessen to pain and eventually correct the problem, relieving you completely of your pain.

Types of Disc Injuries

At Therapeutic Solutions, LLC, Dr. Christopher Brill and the rest of our team work tirelessly to educate our patients about their injury and all of their healing options. There are many forms of back injuries, but when it comes to disc injuries, treatment really depends on the type of injury you’ve sustained. We thought we’d explain a couple disc injuries so you know what to look for and hopefully better understand how chiropractic care can help ease the pain.

 

There are many different terms used to describe spinal disc injuries and associated pain. These terms include herniated disc, pinched nerve and bulging disc. Treatment for these conditions varies depending on the situation but they can often be corrected through spinal adjustments and manipulations.

 

A herniated disc refers to a problem with one of the discs between the vertebrae that stack up to make your spine. Spinal discs are often compared to a jelly donut because they have a softer center encased with a tough exterior. A herniated disc occurs when the softer “jelly” pushes out through a crack in the exterior. This condition often causes pain, numbness or weakness in the arms and legs. Pinched nerves are a direct result of a herniated disc as this injury produces pain called radicular pain (e.g., nerve root pain) leading to pain that may be referred to other parts of the body. Bulging discs are a very common condition treated by chiropractors and causes pain and discomfort in various parts of the body. Pressure from the central core of the disc can then stretch to the outer rim, causing the disc to bulge.

Acid Reflux

Acid reflux is a condition that affects millions of Americans. This health condition causes the contents of the stomach move back from the stomach into the esophagus. Many people will try and cure acid reflux with over-the-counter or prescription medication but in most cases, these medications only dull the symptoms rather than curing the condition. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Dr. Christopher Brill is able to cure patients from their acid reflux problems.

 

In many cases, acid reflux is causes by the failure of the cardia (where the stomach attaches to the esophagus) to keep the contents of the stomach from flowing back into the esophagus. The acids and enzymes contained within the stomach leak back into the esophagus where they cause irritation, burning and inflammation of the sensitive tissue lining the esophagus.

 

When the body’s spine and central nervous system are optimized and 100% healthy, all systems within the body perform correctly and without pain. When there are subluxations in the spine, the systems of the body are not able to function at peak levels which can lead to numerous health issues, including digestive problems such as acid reflux. As part of our overall care, we also provide patients with guidance on weight loss, improving diet and exercise plans. All of these elements are important in eliminating acid reflux and preventing it from returning.

 

Patients turn to chiropractic care because treatment involves no prescription drugs or surgery. It’s safe and effective, even for conditions like acid reflux.

Back Pain

Back Pain

Auto accidents, sports injuries, and muscle strain can all cause patients to experience back pain.  For many, these common injuries can be inhibiting and frustrating.  It’s probably not surprising that one of the best ways to find natural, non-invasive relief is through chiropractic care.  We offer hands-on spinal manipulation and adjustments, as well as several chiropractic therapies that help patients find effective care and pain relief.

 

Spinal alignment enables the body to heal itself without surgery or medication.  Chiropractic adjustments move the vertebrae into alignment, restoring mobility to joints restricted by injury.  If you are experiencing back pain, we encourage you to visit us at www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com  Our chiropractic care services can help diagnose the root cause of your pain and help you find natural, lasting relief.
