spine & rehab specialists,Head and body weighting is used in corrective care to set off the body’s righting reactions, which move the patient’s body forward under the weighted head. During this process, the patient will go through a series of exercise, while simultaneously standing on proper vibration, to activate the Cerebellum.
When the patient’s front-lateral head is weighted, their body is also adjusted laterally along with their forward correction.
The main component of your correction are the weights. They re-train your nerve-muscle connection to correct your spine and posture and give your body the ability to keep it that way. They work by using your reflex-controlled “posture” muscles. These are different from your “fast” muscles that you work out at the gym. Posture muscles are fine-tuned muscles that feed your nerve system information on balance, body position awareness, and your gravity environment. Your unique postural problem’s precise placement and weight need to be counterbalanced through observation, testing, and x-ray diagnostics. They serve purposes beyond only building muscle. You might be given head, shoulder, or hip weights, depending on your particular circumstances. As you get better, the kind and quantity of weight may vary while you are receiving treatment.
When cervical traction is performed twice daily for the prescribed time (3-5 minutes) amazing changes will happen. Joint mobility and range of motion improve, stiffness reduces, neck curve restoration is accelerated, and pain is diminished.
From the moment you begin treatment until you wish to reap the benefits of a healthy spine, the cervical traction is applied twice a day. Regular application will improve the flexibility and health of the spinal joints by warming and softening the discs, cartilage, and ligaments, enabling the joints to move through their entire, healthful range of motion. Furthermore, it aids in the restoration of the cervical lordosis, or proper neck curve.
Avascular ligaments, discs, and joints lack a blood supply. They can only take in nutrients and expel waste when they are moving. Like a pump, the cervical traction’s repeated up and down motion (also known as its loading and unloading cycle) draws nutrients into and removes waste products from the discs and joints. In addition, the gentle stretching of the neck muscles promotes the rebuilding of scar tissue into a more robust and less
The wobble chair helps to return the discs, ligaments, and joints to their regular metabolism when used twice a day for as little as five to nine minutes each time. There are verified and published clinical cases when spinal disc degeneration is really reversed! Pain and stiffness are lessened by increased joint range of motion and mobility. Above all, the wobbling chair supports a healthy metabolism of the neurological system and brain.
It is designed to enhance spinal joint health and mobility by warming and softening the ligaments, cartilage, and discs allowing the joints to move through a full, healthy range of motion which brings fluid and nutrients into the joints and spinal discs. The wobble chair is used twice a day beginning with care and continuing for as long as you desire to experience the benefits of a healthy spine.
Ligaments, discs, and joints lack blood supply (avascular). The only way they get nutrients in and eliminate waste is through motion. The motion must be specific to affect the disc. The pivot point must be no larger than the center (nucleus) of the disc.This is why balls, boards, and inflatable cushions will not improve disc conditions as effectively as the wobbling chair.
In order for this to work with maximum effectiveness the motion must be done slowly enough for the disc to take in (imbibe) fluids and nutrients.
Moving your spine in the wobble chair stimulates the circulation of cerebral-spinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds your brain and spinal cord. This fluid carries nutrients, neurotransmitters and hormones that your brain and nerves need to be healthy. When these are circulated and refreshed by movement you will have a better mood and longer attention span. You will also find that your memory, focus, and cognitive function improve.
The 4 stages of rehabilitation for sports injuries serve as a roadmap to recovery, starting with the acute phase. This initial stage focuses on pain management and swelling reduction through methods like rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). It’s crucial during this time to resist pushing through discomfort; early healing is foundational to regain full function without risking further damage.
As athletes transition into the second stage—rehabilitation—they engage in tailored physical therapy exercises designed to restore strength and flexibility. Here, education plays a pivotal role; understanding biomechanics can help athletes avoid compensatory patterns that lead to future injuries. The third stage emphasizes sport-specific training, where strength gains are integrated into functional movements relevant to their sport. Finally, the fourth stage involves reconditioning and gradual return-to-play protocols that not only assess fitness levels but also build mental resilience. Together, these stages guide athletes from injury back to peak performance while emphasizing proactive measures for long-term health.
Rehabilitation exercises should commence shortly after the initial inflammatory phase, typically around 72 hours post-injury. It’s crucial that these exercises are performed pain-free, as pain serves as a vital indicator from your body prompting you to slow down or stop. The age-old adage no pain, no gain can often mislead athletes into pushing through discomfort, which can impede the healing process instead of aiding it. Listening to your body’s signals is paramount; failure to do so may result in prolonged recovery times and potential setbacks.
In certain scenarios—like specific tendinopathy protocols for Achilles or patella tendon injuries—some controlled discomfort may be acceptable under professional guidance. However, this approach should never be taken lightly without consulting a trained medical expert who understands the intricacies of rehabilitation. Understanding the rationale behind prescribed treatment regimens not only fosters compliance but also empowers athletes by aligning their mental engagement with physical healing strategies. In Frisco’s infinity wellness center, experts emphasize that informed recovery is key to achieving optimal outcomes while preventing future injuries and enhancing overall performance.
The initial stage of rehabilitation involves gradually applying stress to the injured tissue—such as ligaments, tendons, or muscles—to regain its strength, commonly known as tensile strength. Numerous studies back this approach; however, if the load exceeds what the damaged tissue can handle, it risks re-injury and the healing process may regress. It’s crucial to manage the loading of healing tissues carefully, guided by any pain experienced during or after exercise. Experiencing discomfort typically signals that the intensity was too high and adjustments are necessary. It’s essential to heed your body’s signals and its responses to physical activity.
Endurance refers to the capacity of muscles to perform repetitive actions without experiencing fatigue. This trait is particularly crucial in endurance sports like long-distance running and cycling, but it also plays a significant role in sports such as football and rugby, where athletes engage in intermittent high-intensity efforts known as interval training. Additionally, muscle endurance is vital for the core muscles that stabilize the pelvis and spine, contributing to overall core strength during various physical activities.
Flexibility refers to the capacity to bend or elongate without sustaining damage. The term is usually used to describe muscles but can also be used to describe a movement involving a number of muscles (e.g. bending forwards in standing).
Although enhancing flexibility is crucial, it is essential to approach this improvement with care, ensuring that strength is also developed concurrently. Lengthening a muscle without increasing its strength can lead to weakness in the newly acquired flexible range, heightening the risk of injury. For instance, increasing hamstring flexibility solely through stretching without simultaneous strengthening may lead to vulnerabilities.
Exercises that focus on functionality are closely tied to the specific sport or activity you are aiming to resume. While there are several general exercises beneficial across various sports that should be included in the initial phases of rehabilitation, it becomes crucial to engage in sport-specific movements as you progress. For instance, if you’re working towards returning to rugby, it’s essential to practice drills typical of training sessions, such as tackling and passing. The body’s muscles, ligaments, and tendons adjust to the particular stresses they encounter; thus, they become accustomed to specific sports and activities. Keeping this in mind is vital during the later stages of rehabilitation.
