Helpful Information
Dr. Finden Recommends
Chiropractic
Joints that are misaligned put pressure on nerves and stretch muscle tendons, which causes pain.  Gentle mobilizations to these specific, restricted joints, helps restore your body's optimal function and reduce pain.  At Active Health Chiropractic, our Doctor uses gentle adjusting techniques suited to your needs ranging from the instrument assisted Activator, to manual hands-on manipulations.  Accompanied by soft tissue muscle relaxation, our goal is always to help you begin to feel better before you even leave our office!
Acupuncture
Used for pain management and as a compliment to chiropractic care, acupuncture is an ancient technique of creating balance in your body’s natural energy.  According to Chinese medicine, qi and other essential fluids must be able to flow freely throughout the body in order to allow optimal function.  When there is a disruption in the flow of qi, pain and other symptoms begin to manifest.
Common conditions treated with acupuncture: addictions, nausea, infertility, back pain, chronic pain, headaches, allergies, knee pain, shoulder pain, anxiety, and much more.

Kinesio Taping

Great for athletic injuries and chronic pain sufferers, kinesio taping increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage, allowing the body to repair and heal itself.  This unique technique uses specialized tape that gently lifts the skin away from the underlying tissue while supporting the muscles and allowing unrestricted, full range of motion.
This method of supportive taping allows the body to move freely so you can continue your daily activities, while decreasing pain and minimizing damage to the tissue.  The tape is water-resistant and can be worn for up to several days.  Common conditions that are helped by the kinesio taping method are: shoulder pain, shin splints, knee pain, tendinitis, and chronic pain from surgeries and old injuries.

Cupping
     
Cupping is a method used by the Chinese for hundreds of years to improve circulation, decrease pain, and break up tissue adhesions that can be caused by repetitive motion and injury.
It works by creating suction inside a small cup, drawing the blood to the surface of the skin to increase circulation and move essential fluids to the injured area.
Cupping helps relieve: chronic and severe muscle spasms, asthma symptoms, cough and cold symptoms, and helps to increase range of motion.

Active Release Technique
A combination of massage & manipulation with active motion.  Used to treat overuse of muscles and tendons by creating pressure and tension while the muscle/tendon is being used.  Effective for treating chronic tight muscles, sprain & strain injuries. Common conditions that are treated using ART are: tight hip flexors, hip pain, shoulder pain, frozen shoulder/adhesive capsulitis, & IT band syndrome.
