Providing chiropractic care and much more...
If you’re familiar with
chiropractic
treatment, you may have noticed that some
Doctors of Chiropractic choose to limit themselves
to a single technique. Dr. Hokanson is proficient in
many chiropractic techniques and prefers to use a
variety techniques tailored to each individual
patient’s needs. Dr. Hokanson recommends unique
treatment plans based on neurological, orthopedic,
and physical examination findings. If indicated,
x-ray examination provides additional insight into
developing an appropriate treatment plan. The most
common techniques used by Dr. Hokanson include:
Diversified, Activator, Cox Flexion/Distraction,
Thompson Drop, and Gonstead.
Supplemental Care
To supplement his chiropractic and adjusting techniques, Dr. Hokanson uses and recommends a variety of other treatments to speed patient recovery and healing. These include and are not limited to:
Rehabilitation is a very important part of recovery. We recommend and demonstrate therapeutic stretches and exercises on an individual basis to aid you in your journey back to health.
Therapeutic ultrasound
is one modality used by Dr. Hokanson to
speed recovery from spinal and extremity
injuries. Sound waves are used to break up
scar tissue, improve circulation, and
decrease the healing time of injuries.
Interferential
Electro-Therapy is most commonly used for
pain relief and to aid in the reduction of
soft
tissue swelling and inflammation. Most patients find Interferential Electro-Therapy to be extremely beneficial and very relaxing. Although Interferential can be used as a stand-alone therapy, it is often used in conjunction with ice or heat therapy to further promote healing.
Ice Therapy - Ice therapy well ease your sore and inflamed joints and muscles as well as reduce the swelling that typically accompanies injury.
Moist Heat Therapy - Heat therapy promotes healing by reducing muscle spasm and improving circulation by opening blood vessels.
Trigger point therapy is aimed to reduce trigger points, or muscle knots. True trigger points will often radiate pain or symptoms beyond the part of the muscle affected. Trigger point therapy is a manual procedure that when combined with chiropractic, it can reduce muscle spasm pre- and post- adjustment.
Mechanical Spinal Traction is most commonly recommended for patients with disc conditions. Controlled mechanical force gently separates the spinal joints while you rest and relax. Traction for the neck or cervical spine, as well as lumbar or low back traction is available at Back to Basics.
