CHIROPRACTIC CARE WITH SOFT TISSUE WORK (INCLUDING NERVE TRACING TECHNIQUE)

Chiropractic Care is a form of manual care that focuses on diagnosing and treating the Musculoskeletal system, which in turn affects the Nervous system. The Nervous system controls all body systems, including the heart, digestive tract, and immune system. Misalignments in the spine and other joints can alter nerve function, affecting many other functions in the body. Chiropractic care coupled with soft tissue therapy–specifically Nerve Tracing Technique, we take a full body connection approach to help alleviate pain. The creation of the Nerve Tracing Technique started in 2012 by Dr. Bloch while working with shared patients of Dr. Shawn Tierney, to identify nerve entrapments under diagnostic ultrasound. With this technique you need to have extensive knowledge of the human anatomy, specifically the muscles, nerves, fascial planes and common entrapment sites. This hands on skin technique is typically a full body treatment, there are specific hand positions for scanning/finding where the entrapments are located, as well as in relation to the patient’s symptoms. To identify fascial restrictions we are able to use our hands to palpate along with other tools to help identify sling restrictions based on functional movement assessments of Kinetisense and observing functional testing along the sagittal, transverse and rotational planes. Once the entrapment is found, there are specific doctor-patient positions to release the areas.
