Chiropractic
Manipulation, also known as an “adjustment” is one of the main tools that our doctors can use to provide relief for back, neck, and extremity pain. Joint pain in the spine is often the result of hypo-mobility (lack of mobility) in a joint or section of joints. This can be caused by lack of mobility in general as is the case when a patient does the majority of their work seated in front of a computer for hours each day.
There are other reasons for joint pain as well. Sometimes the joints of the spine can become chronically inflamed from repetitive motions. In other cases, an acute trauma can lock a joint down and prevent it from moving. On occasion, even a simple sneeze can cause acute back or neck pain.
However the injury is caused, joints of the body need to move the way they were designed to move. When they don’t, pain is a part of the clinical picture. Other consequences of limited joint movement can be lack of balance and coordination, muscle spasm, and/or poor sleeping patterns.
If you are nervous about chiropractic manipulation, and many people are, don’t let your fears keep you from seeking help. Our doctors are able to employ various methods to decrease your symptoms and they will tailor your treatment to your needs.

Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is great for improving the overall health of your muscles and is a great addition to your regular chiropractic treatments.
Pain in the body, especially in the neck or back, is often created from dysfunction at the muscular level and the tissues that surround the muscles. It can help with muscle spasms, injuries to the soft tissue, and even reduce recovery time. We frequently use massage therapy as a part of the treatment plan for car accident injuries and sports injuries. Many of our patients that are athletes rely on massage therapy to enhance their performance and recover faster from their workouts.
Our amazing licensed massage therapists offer many forms of massage and can tailor their style to match what your body needs. This allows you to feel rejuvenated and increase the muscle function. The types of massage therapy offered at Mt. Hood Chiropractic are:
Deep tissue massage
Sports massage
Trigger point therapy
Swedish massage
Pregnancy massage
Myofascial release massage
What is fascia? Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles and allows them to glide over one another and underneath you skin. It was once thought that fascia was like the Saran Wrap of the musculoskeletal system and wrapped around your muscles without doing all that much. We now know that that’s not the case. Fascia is a system that thickens in response to postural abnormalities. It can be warped or develop adhesions because of trauma. It can be a driver of pain that eludes detection from many doctors or therapists. Myofascial release is a deep tissue technique that helps to break down adhesions, and restore proper function to the muscle-fascial complex.
