When you have an injury, you need personal injury treatments. Dr. Deborah Fisher is a board certified chiropractic physician and, together with Dr Kerri Scherer, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, provides the treatments you need to get back into your daily life at Fisher Chiropractic Wellness and Injury in Dade City, FL.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a way for your chiropractor to get your spine back in alignment. Messages traveling from the brain to the rest of the body can be impeded by misalignment. There are many different types of chiropractic adjustments, but when you hurt everywhere, after an injury, gentle adjustments are what you are looking for. If you are a first timer, you may have reservations about getting your back worked on and Dr. Fisher will put your worries to rest with gentle hands on treatment. Chiropractic adjustments can be used on other joints in the body as well.
Myofascial bodywork
Myofascial bodywork is a therapy that complements chiropractic adjustments beautifully. The fascia are tough membranes around your muscles. This is manual therapy that is applied to trigger points that make your muscles tight and painful. By releasing the pressure, it allows other treatments to work more effectively while helping muscles to relax.
Therapeutic exercises
These specific exercises target specific areas to help you continue your healing with stretches and exercises when you are at home. Not all exercise is the same and not all exercise targets the area that your condition is affecting. You will be shown exactly how to do the exercise and the number of repetitions to perform. This helps to supplement your personal injury treatment in the office, outside the office.
Iontophoresis patches
We use Iontophoresis patches with magnesium sulfate to treat muscle spasms and pain. These patches are a transdermal way to get medication where it needs to be in a quick and efficient way. This goes along with our physical therapy treatment to provide the care that our patients require.
