Treatment usually consists of a series of spinal adjustments using hand or instrument-delivered force into the affected vertebra(e) to restore alignment and mobility to that area.

Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) mimics your body’s nervous system by sending safe, low frequency electrical pulses to your affected area, causing the muscle to contract, increase temperature and blood circulation. Your body’s natural process to repair injuries works with EMS to relieve common nervous system disorders, including constant headaches, numbness of limbs, back pain and neck pain.

Low Level Laser Therapy refers to the modality of applying a low energy or low level laser to tissue that stimulates cellular processes and thereby enhances biochemical reactions. For example, studies show that LLLT increases ATP production in the mitochondria of the cell. Since more energy is now available, the cell may utilize this fuel to function or operate more efficiently.

Infrared light therapy harnesses the healing power of infrared wavelengths of light. When infrared energy is delivered to injury sites and other painful areas, it dramatically increases circulation, reduces inflammation and promotes healing. Nitric oxide is the key to the dramatic improvements that this therapy provides. This short-lived gas is crucial to the health of your arteries. The light prompts the release of nitric oxide which enhances blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to injured, aching tissues and resulting in faster healing.

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues and muscles of the body. Massage enhances the body`s ability to heal and reduces pain. There are more than 250 different methods of massage therapy. Our office focuses on acupressure, deep tissue, infant and others depending on your needs for a massage.

Dr. Hollowell`s procedure involves relieving the meningeal compression. It is a series of techniques that are applied at the appropriate times. Some of these are modifications of standard techniques and some we have developed. Our objective is to free up the neurological structures that are being encroached upon, thus allowing the brain and spinal cord to return to normal function. In most cases, there is little or no pain associated with this procedure.

Spinal Decompression therapy is a new non-surgical technology utilizing an advanced computer controlled traction system. This system has been clinically proven to be extremely effective in relieving neck, back, arm and leg pain provoked by spinal disc disease and arthritis. Spinal Decompression creates negative pressure within the intervertebral disc. This promotes increased nutritional support to the disc which enhances the body’s ability to heal itself and in many cases can reduce the size of disc bulges and herniated discs. Decompression therapy is also extremely effective in relieving joint pressure associated with arthritis.

Chiropractic traction is a therapeutic option for patients who are suffering from cervical, low back, or radiating pain that is caused by bulging or herniated discs or disc degenerative disorder. By applying force to the patient`s spine through body weight, weights, and/or pulleys, a chiropractor is able to gently stretch the spine and draw apart the vertebrae.

Trigger point therapy is a body work technique that involves the applying of pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. Sometimes massage and trigger point therapy are performed together.

Ultrasonic waves (sound waves of a high frequency) are produced by means of mechanical vibration of the metal treatment head of the ultrasound machine. This treatment head is then moved over the surface of the skin in the region of the injury. When sound waves come into contact with air it causes a dissipation of the waves, and so a special ultrasound gel is placed on the skin to ensure maximal contact between the treatment head and the surface of the skin.

Acupuncture is a Chinese medical practice that treats illness or provides local anesthesia. The goal is to restore normalcy to the body`s energy balance by utilizing a combination of Acupoints located on the twelve meridians. This is accomplished by a variety of means, the needle is just one.

Graston Technique is an innovative, evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to detect and effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, as well as maintain optimal range of motion.
