Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a science and art focused on restoring health by maintaining a properly functioning nervous system without drugs or surgery. It relies on the scientific understanding that the body is self-regulating and self-healing. The brain, spinal cord, and nerves control bodily functions, while the skull protects the brain and the spine shields the spinal cord and nerve roots. When the nervous system malfunctions, it disrupts various tissues and organs. This dysfunction, known as the Vertebral Subluxation Complex, causes health problems. Chiropractic adjustments improve motion, enhance circulation, reduce pain and swelling, and relieve nervous irritation. Once the body alleviates irritation, the natural healing process can begin again.
Extremity Adjusting
Dr. Trapp, an athlete, recognized the importance of spinal assessments to detect subluxations. He soon realized that sports stress on the shoulders, arms, legs, and feet also needed attention. This awareness led him to pursue further education. He completed 105 additional post-graduate hours and earned the Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP) certification. This certification emphasizes treating the entire body. In this treatment, synchronization between the nervous system and the body’s mechanical control system is essential. Dr. Trapp believes joint subluxations involve neurological, mechanical, and nutritional components. If people overlook the mechanical component, repetitive subluxations and nerve entrapments persist. By integrating neurological, mechanical, and nutritional treatments, CCEP chiropractors can diagnose and address these issues accurately.
Massage Therapy
Dr. Trapp uses various techniques to manipulate muscles and soft tissues, helping alleviate pain, promote healing, improve circulation, reduce stress, and enhance relaxation. These techniques improve overall wellness. He uses Active Release Technique, Graston, Myofascial Release, Pain Neutralization Technique, Trigenics, Deep Tissue, Swedish, and Nimmo/Trigger Point Therapy. These methods improve the body’s function, reduce discomfort, and support recovery.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to deliver high energy to painful spots and affected tissues. It effectively treats both acute and chronic conditions. Conditions like Achilles tendinitis, bursitis, calcific tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, golfer’s and tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, patella-femoral syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and tendonitis all benefit from this treatment. Shockwave therapy targets affected areas to speed up recovery and reduce pain.
LightForce Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Deep tissue laser therapy accelerates healing by improving blood flow to injured areas. Increased circulation brings oxygen and nutrients to the cells while removing waste products like lactic acid. The laser light enhances oxygen delivery to cells, speeding up recovery. When oxygen reaches the mitochondria, it converts into ATP, providing energy for cell repair. High-intensity laser therapy accelerates healing and enables faster recovery than traditional methods.
Functional Testing
Functional testing involves exercises that mimic everyday activities to help identify imbalances that affect daily movements. Sitting, standing, squatting, and carrying weight are common movements assessed because they are crucial for physical, social, and psychological well-being. These tests pinpoint areas needing improvement to enhance overall function and mobility.
Physical Rehabilitation
Dr. Trapp may recommend physical therapy or functional rehabilitation as part of a treatment plan. Physical therapy strengthens muscles, while functional rehabilitation corrects imbalances. The rehabilitation process targets neuromusculoskeletal weaknesses using modern tests to identify joint or muscle imbalances. Chronic soft tissue issues like scarring or degeneration restrict movement and cause pain. When healing is insufficient, tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia degrade, making them weaker and more prone to injury. Factors like age, disease, and improper movement contribute to tissue degeneration.
Kinesio-Taping
Kinesio-Taping impacts several body systems, including circulatory, neural, muscular, and fascial systems. The tape alters muscle tone, supports lymphatic flow, corrects movement patterns, and improves posture. Unlike traditional taping, which restricts movement, Kinesio-Taping supports muscle flexibility and can be worn for several days, even while bathing. This support enhances movement and speeds recovery.
