Pain Management

Chiropractic care offered by Dr. Richard Robinson includes pain management assistance, which helps our patients find relief for their pain, whether chronic pain or following a trauma or injury. There are a myriad of pain that can benefit from chiropractic treatment including: shoulder, neck pain, back pain, headaches or migraines and sciatica pain. Through adjustments and manipulations, massage, and acupuncture, our team here at Robinson Family Chiropractic helps patients find the relief they have been looking for.

 

At our chiropractic office, we believe in providing treatments that go beyond treating just one area of the body, but encouraging the body to learn how to heal itself. By offering adjustments of the spine for chronic pain management, our patients not only find their primary pain gone, but over time, other pains and areas of discomfort also start disappearing. They are able to get this alternative treatment, as opposed to taking prescribed medications.

 

We also offer additional methods of pain management, including applying hot and cold packs, and showing our patients how to perform gentle exercises at home that help them ease their pain.

Sports Massage

While chiropractic care focuses on joints and movement patterns, massage focuses on the soft tissues of the body like muscles and ligaments. Massage paired with regular chiropractic adjustments and manipulations have proven to be one of the most effective methods for relieving chronic pain in athletes.

 

Massage therapy offers a treatment approach which actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. At Robinson Family Chiropractic, we provide specific massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's recovery. The benefits of massage therapy include:

• Increased blood circulation
• Reduction in swelling
• Relaxation of muscles

We offer a pre-event sports massage that involves a stimulating Swedish massage that targets the muscles you will use in your upcoming event. We also offer post-event, restorative and rehabilitative massages that are designed to help your body recover quicker. Call our office today for more information! 

Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries are quite common in the United States. It doesn’t matter if you sit at a desk or are working on your feet all day, there are number of cautions you need to take when it comes to workplace safety. At Robinson Family Chiropractic, Dr. Richard Robinson and the rest of our team believe that patient education is crucial when it comes to recovering from and even preventing workplace injuries.

 

For patients working in an office environment, there are many factors that contribute to your back issues. These factors include force (exerting too much stress on your back), repetition (repeating certain movements lead to muscle fatigue), posture (slouching leads to muscle fatigue and injury) and stress (pressure at work can increase stress and lead to muscle tension). One study showed that workers with lower back pain found the workplace pain challenges were associated with activity interference, negative self-perceptions, interpersonal challenges and inflexibility of work.

 

There are some steps that can be taken to prevent back pain. By including a daily physical activity into your lifestyle, you can maintain your health and minimize stress on your back. Another way to prevent back pain is to pay attention to your posture. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities. Patients who are already suffering from work-related injuries should seek treatment through a chiropractor.

Custom Orthotics

Foot orthotics are devices that are used to correct any biomechanical abnormalities in the foot and ankle. Orthotics perform functions that make standing, walking, running and other sports-related activities more comfortable and efficient by correcting the angles at which the foot strikes the walking or running surface. At Robinson Family Chiropractic, we offer custom orthotics as a conservative approach to solving many foot conditions that lead to pain in the knees, ankles, hip, back and neck.

Custom-fit orthotics are used to help realign the bones within the foot and ankle. Realigning these bones will take pressure off other parts of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders and hips. Orthotics also help with distributing weight properly and take further pressure off of toes, bunions and other parts of the foot. We offer orthotics to our patients that are suffering from discomfort relating to walking or imbalances in the body that are known to cause related pain.

Custom fit orthotics are much more effective than the over-the-counter options made available at various drug and grocery stores. Pre-packaged, non-prescription shoe inserts are not made for individuals; they are mass-created and do not offer the type of support most individuals need. Custom-made orthotics are specially-made devices that are designed to support that specific patient’s needs. While over-the-counter shoe inserts may be a less-expensive option, custom-fit options are the best choice for those suffering from any number of pain or discomfort.
