Chiropractic Care
An adjustment or manipulation at Tonawanda Chiropractic and Rehabilitation is tailored to the patient. A chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is a very safe and effective form of treatment. The adjustment is a very specific force applied to a vertebral joint in order to restore a patient’s full range of motion. The sudden stretch of tissue while performing an adjustment can help to restore proper bio-mechanical function in the area. When combined with other therapies such as manual soft tissue release and rehabilitation exercises, a chiropractic adjustment can be a very useful tool to aid in your recovery. Adjustments are a safe form of treatment and often result in immediate relief.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage
Instrument assisted soft tissue massage make it easier to detect and treat myofascial dysfunction. Using a tool focuses the force though an area smaller than what you could do manually with less friction, therefore increasing the efficiency of the treatment. The goal is to trigger an inflammatory healing response to stimulate the production of new fibers to promote healing. Many problems that were thought to be permanent can be resolved with focused instrument assisted soft tissue massage. Some benefits of IASTM include decreasing the overall treatment time and decreasing overall recovery time.
