Hot does Hyperbaric Oxygen Work?

The Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber is filled with compressed ambient air from 2 to 4.5 pounds per square inch (1.3 ATA max). This is equivalent of 11 feet below sea level. The increased pressure allows the blood plasma and other liquids of the body to absorb additional oxygen thus greatly increasing oxygen uptake by the cells, tissues, glands, organs, brain, and fluids of the body. The resulting uptake of oxygen allows for increased circulation to areas with swelling or inflammation. At the same time, the increased pressure decreases swelling and inflammation. Oxygen is then utilized by the body for vital cell functions, and healthier cells equals healthier tissues, and organs.

If you or someone you know suffers from chronic pain, with little to no help from traditional treatment, give us a call.

Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular condition characterized by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle, which is located in the buttock region. While the Sciatic nerve is affected, this is not sciatica. The piriformis muscle helps with hip rotation and stabilization. When this muscle becomes tight, inflamed, or spasms, it can impinge on the sciatic nerve, leading to symptoms. What are the symptoms?

Symptoms:
- Pain in the buttock
- Radiating pain. This may extend down the back of the thigh, calf, and foot, similar to sciatica.
- Numbness and tingling.
- Worsening pain with prolonged sitting. Activities like running, climbing stairs, or sitting for long periods can exacerbate the symptoms.

In our office we take a functional approach to treating this tissue. We examine with orthopedic testing and movement testing to figure out the root cause. We then treat the affected tissue with Active Release Techniques, PEMF , Deep Laser Therapy, and Chiropractic.

The iliacus muscle is one of the muscles that comprise the iliopsoas group, along with the psoas major and psoas minor muscles. This muscle is very involved in hip flexion and under constant tension in both seated and standing position.

The iliacus muscle is innervated by the femoral nerve (L2-L4) so Injury, Strains, or tightness in the iliacus muscle can contribute to not only lower back pain, and hip pain, but also nerve pain similar to sciatica.

In our office we take a functional approach to treating this tissue. We examine with orthopedic testing and movement testing to figure out the root cause. From there we treat the affected tissue with Active Release Techniques, PEMF , Deep Laser Therapy, and Chiropractic.

A rotator cuff strain is an injury to the group of muscles( Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus,, Subscapularis, Teres Minor) and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing it with stability and facilitating its wide range of motion. Other tissue supporting the rotator cuff include the Lats, Teres Major, Biceps, Triceps, and Pectoral Muscles. Any injury to any of these tissue can result in chronic pain with movement of the shoulder and can cause problems down the kinetic chain into the elbow. When an injury occurs to the shoulder, depending on the severity, some form of treatment and rehab should begin right away.

In our office we take a functional approach to treating a shoulder. We examine with orthopedic and movement testing to figure out the root cause, and treat with Active Release Techniques, PEMF , Deep Laser Therapy, and Chiropractic.

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. It is typically caused by overuse or repetitive motion of the forearm muscles and tendons, which can lead to inflammation and small tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus (the outer part of the elbow). This inflammation and micro-tears results in a cumulative injury cycle, resulting in chronic pain regardless of the type of use with the elbow.

In our office and a well known way to treat this injury is through Active Release Techniques and manipulation of the joints of the upper extremity. We have helped many individuals get out of and stay out of pain.

Ankle dorsiflexion, the action of pulling the toes up toward the shin, is a commonly missed range of motion leading to many knee, hip and low back injuries. This motion is important for several reasons:

1. Sports, Walking, and Running Mechanic
Proper dorsiflexion allows for efficient movement during the gait cycle. It helps in clearing the foot off the ground, reducing the risk of tripping, and ensures a smooth heel-to-toe transition.

2. Balance and Stability
Adequate dorsiflexion contributes to better balance and stability, especially when standing or moving on uneven surfaces. It plays a crucial role in maintaining proper alignment through the kinetic chain and preventing falls.

3. Sports Performance
In many sports, dorsiflexion is critical for activities like jumping, squatting, sprinting, and cutting. It allows athletes to achieve optimal angles for force production and reduces the risk of injury.

4. Injury Prevention
Limited dorsiflexion can lead to compensatory movements in other parts of the body, increasing the risk of injuries such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and knee pain.

Overall, maintaining and improving ankle dorsiflexion is crucial for overall function, mobility, and preventing injuries. In our office we specialize in movement and mobility through Active Release Techniques and Extremity Manipulation, allowing us to properly treat ankle dysfunction. Through these treatments we have helped and continue to help everyday people facing chronic pain.

Identifying where to treat when manipulating a joint is very important, we identify this restricted area through Motion Palpation.

Motion palpation is a diagnostic technique used primarily by chiropractors to assess joint function and mobility. It involves the practitioner using their hands to feel the movement of joints and surrounding soft tissues as the patient moves or as the practitioner moves the joints passively. This technique helps identify areas of restricted movement, abnormal joint function, or pain, which can indicate potential issues that may require treatment. Motion palpation is often used in the spine but can be applied to other joints as well.
