Healing Therapies in Palm Beach Gardens

Therapies are a powerful adjunct to chiropractic care, especially when paired with focused spine therapy and advanced healing therapies. At Preferred Chiropractic Center in Palm Beach Gardens FL, we address both the alignment of the spine and the health of surrounding soft tissues for more complete results.

Chiropractic adjustments restore balance to the vertebrae and help remove nervous system interference, while supportive physical therapy modalities target muscles, ligaments, tendons, and discs. These therapies can reduce lactic acid, minimize scar tissue formation, relieve inflammation, and ease muscle spasms or tension.

When scar tissue or inflammation is left untreated, chiropractic adjustments may not hold as effectively. That’s why our approach integrates gentle, low-force adjustments with a variety of healing therapies designed to enhance comfort and accelerate recovery. We treat both the skeletal and muscular systems together, offering patients the gift of faster relief and longer-lasting improvements.

Preferred Chiropractic Center provides a strong, well-rounded treatment plan at every visit.

Who Needs Soft Tissue Modalities?

Car accidents Patients

People who have been in Auto Accidents often have significant soft-tissue damage, including micro tears of the muscles, tendons & ligaments, inflammation at the joints and capsules & around the discs, lactic acid build up and scar tissue formation. Did you know that scar tissue formation can develop in your body within 8 hours of a strong accident. Chiropractic care can help restore spinal mis-alignments and nervous system function. Therapies are generally used to decrease inflammation initially; a common source of most new pain. Later during care, we will spend more time getting rid of lactic acid buildup and scar tissue formation.

Post Surgical Patients

Often therapies can help you recover after surgery, by helping to reduce scar tissue formation, inflammation, lactic acid and tense muscles.

Scoliosis Patients

Therapies can also be beneficial for patients with Scoliosis, to help temporarily soften extremely tense muscles in order to hold the spine in better alignment for a period of time.

Musculoskeletal conditions

Any musculoskeletal condition that causes pain or dysfunction can often be helped by certain therapies designed to address the particular underlying causes of that pain and/or dysfunction.

Patients in Pain

Inflammation is usually the culprit here. We have many machines that can alleviate inflammation. My favorite however is the Cold Laser. It locates the inflammation for you; can’t get any easier than that!!!

Listening to Your Body

When your body is injured, inflammation occurs and the surrounding muscles shorten and tighten to protect the injured area. If those muscles remain in this tightened, shortened state, pain and misalignment of the spinal bones may ultimately result—so it’s important to know how to address this situation as soon as possible. With his decades of experience and expertise, Dr. Steve is skilled at assessing your body’s needs and providing the proper care. He will use appropriate therapies to reduce pain, muscular tension, scar tissue, inflammation, lactic acid build up and muscular tension/spasm. Once the inflammation and muscular tightness are reduced, chiropractic adjustments are needed to restore proper alignment to the spine.
