Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at Oaks Chiropractic, Sport Injury and Wellness Center, is handled by our experts in the knowledge of anatomy, physiology and the biomechanics of the body. This is important because they know how to help you get out of pain and back in action.
Our doctors and therapist use a hands-on approach in conjunction with specific modalities as needed. The most commonly used therapeutic procedures/modalities are:
Manual (hands-on) Therapy: Consists of myofascial release techniques, stretching of restricted structures and specific strengthening of weak muscles, soft tissue and joint mobilization/ manipulation, and muscle energy techniques. They help restore your back, neck, or other painful areas to the youthful pain-free resilience.- Pain Management: Use of moist heat, cryotherapy, ultrasound, laser, electrical stimulation, decompression therapy, kinesio taping, and traction.
- Therapeutic Exercises: Customized for each condition including strengthening, stabilizing, and stretching restricted structures to restore normal pain-free range of motion. These exercises improve movement and proper muscle balance. This is done by focusing on the core muscles.
- Postural Corrections: This addresses behavior modification, postural exercise, and self-awareness. We concentrate on correcting musculoskeletal derangements.
- Home Management Program: A short and detailed home exercise program corresponding to the appropriate stage of condition, including the do's and don'ts of self-management.
With the above approach we are now able to treat common problems and conditions ranging from sprains and strains, to headaches, back disorders, sport injuries, tendonitis and spinal conditions,(such as scoliosis, spinal stenosis, herniated discs of the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine), post-operative surgery, sciatica and acute and chronic pain.
We also treat most orthopedic conditions including arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, chondromalacia patella, ACL and PCL knee reconstruction, meniscus/ ligament injuries, gait abnormalities, cervical and lumbar radiculapathy (pain that travels to either the arms or legs), adhesive capsulitis, rotator cuff tear, reflex dystrophy and de Quervain's syndrome.
We offer Chiropractic services from our board certified chiropractor in our Thousand Oaks offices. While receiving treatment from the Ventura County physiotherapy team at Oaks Chiropractic and Sport Injury Center, you will be instructed on how to use your body properly to gain strength and mobility to prevent recurring injuries.
