Core ReaXion, a new class from Mike

Friday, October 28th, 2011 At 9:00 pm

Core Reaxion’s mobility class was designed specifically to address mobility issues that Mike and Scott were seeing in their patients and athletes. This class will focus on increasing the mobility of each of the major joints of the body, as well as, focusing on the causations of immobility.

This progressive four week program is specifically designed to incorporate a total body approach that addresses all the elements that limit the body’s fluid natural movement. Some of the key elements to be addressed are soft tissue/joint capsule restriction, muscle imbalance issues, and how these factors lead to immobility and dysfunctional movement patterns.

This class will provide the participants with the tools they need to revitalize their total body energy dynamic. Join Mike and Scott for this four week course and rediscover what happy and healthy feels like. 

Classes to begin on November 14, 2011.  Call Capitol Rehab at 540-665-4444.

Twitter inquiry about shoulder pain: How can a chiropractor help?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010 At 2:08 pm

An interesting question about shoulder pain was posted today on Twitter this morning:

“I’m awake way too early. Only got 4ish hours of sleep. But my shoulder hurts so much I can’t sleep. Hoping a chiropractor visit helps.”

It is important for the chiropractor to locate the cause of your shoulder pain. Whether it be referred from your neck and back, or soft tissue involvement at the shoulder such as tendonitis or bursitis.

The neck, mid-back and shoulder girdle all must be addressed for long term relief. Adjustments on the neck and mid-back for which chiropractors are uniquely qualified as well as soft tissue therapy on the shoulder such as with Graston, ART, or Myofascial treatment and exercise for stability all are equally important.

A good sports medicine chiropractor can help when all these areas are addressed.
