Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Paul Bruce has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.
Rehabilitation & Therapies
Most injuries and conditions are greatly benefited by in-office and at-home care that works in tandem with proper Chiropractic treatment. Your doctor may suggest stretches for you to perform as needed to relieve pressure on your spine or limbs, along with common-sense strengthening exercises to promote stability and support and help prevent further problems.
Physical therapy refers to the mechanical treatment of injury and disease through exercise, stretching, massage, heat, passive movement and other methodologies designated to help improve the function of bones, muscles, joints, and nerves and is prescribed depending upon the injury or disorder being addressed. At Bruce Chiropractic & Comprehensive Care, we offer full-service, in-house physical therapy as an integral part of many patient treatment programs promoting recovery and pain management. Our physical therapy options include:
Ultrasound - This relaxing and warming therapy uses high frequency sound waves to relieve muscular tension, spasm and inflammation. Its effective and soothing qualities make it one of our most popular healing therapies.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation - EMS therapy introduces gentle electrical impulses to tense, constricted or inflamed soft tissues to promote circulation, release spasm and encourage healing.
Stretching - Your doctor may incorporate passive stretching to help relieve muscle tension and spasm and to carefully introduce greater range of motion to constrained muscles and tendons. He may also prescribe at at-home series of stretching and strengthening exercises to improve your flexibility and help prevent further or recurrent injury.
Corrective Exercises
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health. Appropriate aerobic exercise designed to suit your age and fitness level will also be recommended, to help heal, arrest and prevent disease and injury.
Massage Therapy
Our highly trained massage therapist works to help relax tight muscles, improve circulation to injured areas, and restore nerve function to inflamed or constricted tissues. Massage also helps prepare tense areas for healing spinal manipulation and adjustment.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy
This exciting and effective treatment is a non-surgical and painless option for many people dealing with degenerative arthritis, spinal stenosis, degenerated or herniated discs, facet syndrome, pinched nerves and other disorders producing neck and low back pain, as well as the pain from sciatica. Spinal Decompression Therapy has a proven success rate treating specific chronic pain conditions by gently stretching the spine and reducing pressure on spinal discs while increasing healing circulation to affected areas. A recent study demonstrated a significant pain reduction in 70% of patients who engaged in a complete series of treatments. This effort- and pain-free treatment is a viable and succesful option to many sufferers of debilitating neck, low-back or sciatica pain
Spinal & Postural Screenings
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
Antioxidant Screenings
Nutritional Assessment
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patientīs return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Dr. Paul Bruce can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
