Prenatal & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is a family affair and is not limited to only adults. In fact, there are more and more parents who utilize the many benefits of their children regularly seeing a pediatric chiropractor in place of traditional medicine for reasons now more than ever!
Some of the benefits of drug free chiropractic care for children are:
- improved sleep
- relief from ear infections
- Colic ease
- positive behavior and attitude
- improved immune system function
Children encounter so many physical stresses in their life and most people do not realize that this begins even from the birth process itself! These stresses (spinal subluxations) can cause nerve interference in your child’s spine that alters normal optimal growth and development.
Not sure when to bring your child in for chiropractic? Itโs simple! Start care when you are pregnant, when they are born and for any reason they might go to their pediatrician!
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) / interferential therapy (IFT)ย uses gentle electrical signals sent through pads placed on your skin. These signals โtalkโ to your nerves and muscles.
In simple terms:
- The electricity tricks your muscles into contracting in their own, kind of like exercise without you having to move.
- It can reduce pain by blocking pain signals before they reach your brain.
- It also increases blood flow, which helps healing and reduces stiffness.
Patients often describe the feeling as a tingly or tapping sensation, not a shock. This therapy is used to help with pain relief, muscle recovery, and rehab after injury or surgery.
Ultrasound therapyย uses sound waves (not electricity) that go into your bodyโs tissues. You donโt hear them, but they gently warm and massage muscles, tendons, and joints from the inside.
In simple terms:
- The sound waves help loosen tight or stiff tissue
- They increase blood flow, which helps healing
- They can reduce pain and inflammation
Most people feel either mild warmth or what seems like nothing at all during treatment.
KT (kinesiology) tapingย is a stretchy, skin-like tape placed on your body to support muscles and joints without restricting movement.
In simple terms:
- It helps take pressure off sore or injured areas
- It has been shown to improve circulation and reduce swelling
- It gives your body a bit of extra support and awareness so you move more comfortably
It doesnโt โhold you in placeโ like rigid tapeโitโs more like a gentle guiding reminder and helper for your muscles.
Therapeutic cuppingย uses small cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction pulls the skin and muscle slightly upward.
In simple terms:
- It helps increase blood flow to tight or sore areas
- It can loosen tight muscles and connective tissue
- It may help reduce pain and stiffness
You might feel a strong pulling or pressure sensation, but it shouldnโt be painful. The round marks that sometimes appear are not bruisesโtheyโre just areas where blood flow increased and usually fade in a few days.
Thumper/Vibrational Massage uses rapid vibrations applied to the skin to relax muscles and tissues.
In simple terms:
- The vibrations help loosen tight muscles
- They increase blood flow, which can reduce soreness
- They help calm the nervous system, which can ease pain and stiffness
It usually feels like a deep buzzing or tapping massage and can be adjusted from gentle to strong.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilizationย (often called Graston) usesย smooth metal or plastic toolsย that are rubbed over the skin toย work on tight or irritated tissue underneath.
In simple terms:
- It helpsย break up tight spots and scar tissue
- Itย increases blood flowย to the area
- It helpsย restore movement and reduce pain
It can feel guarded over tight areas, and the skin may turn red or slightly bruisedโbut that is part of the healing design usually fades quickly.
Active Release/Pin & stretch therapyย techniques areย a form of soft tissue treatment designed to alleviate muscle tension and adhesions, significantly decreasing joint strain and muscle discomfort.
In simple terms:
- The pressure โpinsโ the tight area
- The movement โstretchesโ the muscle around it
- This helps release tight knots, improve movement, and reduce pain
It can feel intense but relieving, like working out a stubborn knot.
Trigger point therapyย focuses on tight, sensitive knots in muscles (called trigger points) that can cause pain locally or even in other areas.
In simple terms:
- Pressure is applied to the painful knot
- Holding that pressure helps the muscle relax and release
- This can reduce pain, tension, and referred pain
It often feels tender at first, then relieving once the knot lets go.
In-office stretching and exerciseย involves guided movements done with your provider to help your body move better and heal.
In simple terms:
- The stretches help loosen tight muscles
- The exercises help strengthen weak or injured areas
- Together, they improve flexibility, stability, and function
Everything is tailored to your specific issue, and the goal is to help you move safely with less painโboth in the office and at home.
Nutritional counselingย is one-on-one guidance about what and how to eat to support towards your optimal divine health and recovery based on YOUR specific needs.
In simple terms:
- It helps you fuel your body properly
- Certain foods can reduce inflammation and support healing
- You get practical, personalized advice, not a strict diet
The goal is to help your body heal better, have more energy, and feel its best.
TheraRoller therapyย uses a small, hand-held device with tiny needles or bumps to gently roll over your skin and muscles. Think of it like a โmassage with micro-needles.โ When you roll it over your body, it:
- Stimulates blood flow โ This brings more oxygen and nutrients to the area, helping it heal faster.
- Relieves tension โ It relaxes tight muscles and reduces stiffness.
- Promotes healing โ The tiny needles create tiny โmicro-injuriesโ that encourage your body to repair itself, which can help with scars, wrinkles, or muscle soreness.
- Feels refreshing โ Many people say it feels like a gentle deep-tissue massage.
So basically, itโs like giving your muscles and skin a tiny workout that helps them heal, loosen up, and feel better.
Holistic Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a holistic whole body functional approach to true HEALTH-care. It is applied by using manual or sometimes instrument assisted techniques to assist the body in its optimal function of the nervous system thus returning to its own natural healing processes. In addition to spinal care, manual adjustment of T other joints such as shoulders, knees, wrists, feet is also vital. This reduces mechanical stress, relieves pain and helps conditions such as frozen shoulder, runners, knees, or carpal tunnel, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
FFSC specializes in traditional chiropractic care, pregnancy, pediatrics, and sports injuries.
