Laser (Class IV) Therapy
Class IV Laser Treatment is the use of specific wave-lengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. Light energy enters the damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the damaged cells. Once the cells recover, the healing process is complete.
Neuropathy Treatment
Our neuropathy reversal program combines advanced medical technologies with personalized care to effectively manage symptoms and promote nerve regeneration.
Advanced Rehab Therapies
At Vizuri Health Center, we offer a range of advanced rehab therapies to help you achieve optimal health and wellness. Our tailored treatments are designed to address your unique needs and promote healing, recovery, and overall physical performance.
Types of Disc Injuries:
Corrective Exercises
At Vizuri Health Center, our Corrective Exercises are an integral part of our Rehab Therapies aimed at restoring proper movement patterns and enhancing overall physical function. These specialized exercises are designed to address muscle imbalances, improve posture, and alleviate pain, thereby reducing the risk of injury.
Our skilled therapists develop personalized corrective exercise programs tailored to each individual’s needs. By focusing on specific areas of weakness or dysfunction, these exercises help correct faulty movement patterns and improve body mechanics. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to improve your athletic performance, our corrective exercises will support your journey towards optimal health and mobility.
Cervical Traction Therapy
Cervical traction therapy offers gentle stretching of the neck, relieving pressure on the spine and alleviating pain associated with conditions like herniated discs and pinched nerves. This therapy promotes spinal alignment and reduces discomfort, enhancing your overall well-being.
E-Stim Therapy
Our e-stim therapy utilizes electrical stimulation to reduce pain, improve muscle function, and enhance blood circulation. This non-invasive treatment is ideal for muscle re-education, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the healing process.
Rehab Therapy
Our comprehensive rehab therapy programs are customized to help you recover from injuries, surgeries, or manage chronic conditions. Our expert team provides a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating various techniques to restore your mobility, strength, and functionality.
Whole Body Vibration
Our whole body vibration therapy involves standing on a vibrating platform, which increases muscle activation and improves circulation. This therapy is beneficial for enhancing strength, flexibility, balance, and aiding in weight loss and bone density improvement.
SoftWave TRT Therapy
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This advanced therapy uses patented electrohydraulic technology to deliver precise shockwaves that promote increased blood flow, reduce inflammation, and activate cellular repair. Ideal for treating chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, and promoting overall musculoskeletal health, SoftWave TRT offers a safe and effective alternative to surgery and medication.
Patients can experience significant pain relief and improved mobility with minimal downtime, making it an excellent option for those seeking innovative and effective treatment solutions.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine and alleviate pain associated with disc injuries, such as herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. This therapy involves a specialized table or device that gently stretches the spine, promoting the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the affected discs to facilitate healing. By reducing pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, spinal decompression can help improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall spine health.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is ideal for individuals seeking a conservative, drug-free approach to back pain, spinal decompression offers a pathway to relief and recovery.
Types of Disc Injuries Spinal Decompression Helps:
Bulged Disc
This type of disc injury is very common – one in seven people walk around with small, bulged discs in their spine with NO symptoms. This means that at some point the disc was injured and began to swell and tear. If the bulge is large enough or in the wrong place, it can put pressure on the spinal cord or the nerve root – this type of disc injury responds very well to conservative care. If a bulge is present in the spine think of it as a warning sign to align and stabilize the spine before it progresses to a more serious disc condition.
Herniated Disc
When the outer fibers of the disc (annulus fibrosis) tear all the way through and the gelatinous nucleus pulposus is pushed out into the tear -the disc is considered “herniated”. The tear itself can cause what is known as discogenic pain – pain arising from the disc. If the herniation is directly onto a nerve root, this puts both physical pressure on the nerve root and the inflammatory chemicals from the disc injury invade the nerve root and cause it to swell as well. With a herniation, there are two causes of pain, direct pressure on nerves and swelling of the nerve.
This is important to understand to successfully treat the herniated disc – it is essential to reduce BOTH the physical pressure on the nerve and to reduce the swelling or inflammation. Must treat both for success
Protruded Disc
When the outer fibers of the disc are torn, and the central disc pushes through and beyond the tear the disc is said to protrude. This is a more serious condition and typically takes longer to heal. The same injury to the nerves applies as in the herniated disc.
Extruded Disc
When the inner nucleus is pushed through the outer fibers and separated from the disc entirely the disc is considered a disc fragment or extruded. This can also be called a sequestered disc. This is the most difficult to manage and may require surgery to remove the fragment.
Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of any opening is called stenosis, this happens to chronically inflamed arteries, too. In the case of spinal stenosis there is a combination of two factors: thinning of discs and arthritis of the spinal joints, essentially causing bone-on-nerve pressure. The space between the spinal bones or vertebra is called the IVF (intervertebral foramen). There are four sides, if you will, to this opening. On the front side is the disc, top and bottom of the opening are the spinal joints and at the back of the opening is a ligament (ligamentum flavum). When a spinal disc loses water and begins to thin, the IVF narrows top to bottom. At the same time the spinal joints undergo degeneration and begin to develop boney spurs (typically spinal arthritis) further narrowing the opening. As a result of the mechanical stress caused by the disc thinning and the joint arthritis, the ligament thickens. This creates a trifecta resulting in narrowing of the IVF also known as spinal stenosis. Conservative treatment for this is different than a herniated disc. While this condition cannot be “cured”, it can be stabilized and managed.
Laying the foundation to accelerate your healing process
Achieving health is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care.
