Supporting Therapies at Chiropractic First of Iowa
Dr. Davis is proud to combine expert chiropractic adjustments with specialized supportive therapies designed to enhance and prolong your results. These complementary treatments work synergistically with your adjustments to provide more comprehensive care. Each therapy addresses different aspects of your body’s healing process—from relaxing tight muscles to stabilizing adjustments and promoting proper healing.
We customize your therapy plan based on your specific condition, body type, and health goals. Many patients find that these supportive therapies make their adjustments more comfortable and effective over time.
NEW PATIENTS
Muscle Release Therapy
Muscle Release Therapy targets specific muscle groups that have developed painful knots, trigger points, or excessive tension. Using specialized metal tools, Dr. Davis applies precise pressure to problematic muscle tissues to break up adhesions and restore proper function. This therapy is particularly beneficial for athletes, desk workers, hairstylists, and others with repetitive movement patterns that create muscle imbalances.
While not necessary for every patient, Muscle Release Therapy makes a significant difference for those with stubborn muscle tightness that may be preventing full healing. The technique complements your adjustments by addressing soft tissue components that might otherwise pull your spine back out of alignment.
Muscle Stimulation Therapy
Muscle Stimulation Therapy uses gentle electrical impulses delivered through electrode pads placed on targeted areas of your body. These controlled impulses stimulate your muscles to contract and relax in a rhythmic pattern, increasing blood flow and reducing pain signals. This therapy is particularly effective for reducing inflammation, releasing muscle spasms, and decreasing pain levels.
Every patient receives this beneficial 10-minute therapy after their adjustment, targeting their specific treatment areas. Many patients report immediate relief and relaxation during this comfortable therapy session, which helps your body integrate the adjustment more effectively.
Traction Table Therapy
Traction Table Therapy benefits include:
- Gentle decompression of vertebrae to create space between spinal segments
- Relaxation of spinal muscles after adjustment
- Increased blood flow to the spinal area
- Enhanced disc rehydration and nutrition
- Time for your adjustment to “set” before returning to regular activities
Our specialized traction table features rollers that move gently up and down your spine, creating mild traction that separates vertebrae slightly while massaging surrounding muscles. This relaxing 10-minute therapy is provided to all patients following their adjustment in our peaceful therapy room. Patients consistently describe this as their favorite part of their visit—a tranquil time to rest while the table supports their healing process. The therapy helps prevent your body from immediately returning to misaligned patterns after leaving our office.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Taping involves the strategic application of specialized elastic tape to support muscles and joints while allowing full range of motion. Dr. Davis places the tape in specific patterns designed to gently lift the skin, creating space for improved circulation and lymphatic drainage. This therapy is particularly valuable for pregnant women, athletes, and patients with persistent alignment issues that need support between office visits.
The tape can remain in place for 1-2 days, providing ongoing therapeutic benefits long after you leave our office. Many patients appreciate how this therapy “holds” their adjustment in place, especially during physically demanding activities or when recovering from acute injuries.
