Chiropractic Care

The chiropractic profession has many varying types of treatment styles. Some chiropractors use their hands while others use an instrument. No type of treatment style is right or wrong, but what is important is finding the treatment style that best fits your needs. Just because you tried chiropractic once and it didn’t help, doesn’t mean that chiropractic care isn’t right for you.

Decompression

The Cox Technique is a spinal manipulation that relieves back pain, leg pain, neck pain, arm pain and many other spinal related conditions. This technique has been tested in clinical trials to document the effect on the spine and its nerves to relieve pain, as well as the amount of days and visits it takes to relieve pain. The proper application of this technique is taught in post graduate and graduate training seminars specifically on the Cox Table with these correct protocols. Patients wanting relief of any of these symptoms can rest easy knowing that the Cox Technique is safe and gentle, getting you back into a pain-free life.

Hand & Foot

Dr. Rafiq is a trained expert in performing specific, gentle adjustments to the 27 bones of the wrist/hand, and the 26 bones of the feet. The idea of having your hands and feet adjusted is a whole new concept to most people, because they relate chiropractic to adjusting the spine.

Dr. Rafiq provides hand and foot patients with gentle, specific adjustments to the misaligned bones of the hands/feet and other joints to help restore function, provide relief and ultimately get to the root cause of the problem.

Most chiropractors focus on spinal problems, but Dr. Rafiq focuses on joint extremities: hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, feet, ankles, and knees. After years in practice, Dr. Rafiq realized that most patients with lower back pain had misalignment in their feet. This began her training as a Hand & Foot Chiropractor.

Plantar Fasciitis

Many people suffering with Plantar Fasciitis will try different shoes, orthotics, foot straps, painful injections, or even surgery to control their pain. Wearing orthotics may help you feel better, but it will not correct the misalignments in the foot and ankle. Surgery, injections and orthotics are ineffective tactics used to provide short-term relief. In fact, surgery carries significant risks and should be avoided if possible Have you ever thought about getting your feet adjusted? Dr. Rafiq has a high success rate of eliminating foot pain, with gentle foot adjustments. No gimmicky products needed!
Not only do foot adjustments help with Plantar Fasciitis, but they help many other conditions of the foot, and ankle as well. Did you know that foot adjustments can help treat Bunions, Flat Feet, and even High Arches? You are not stuck with Flat Feet or High Arches! We can adjust the feet so that you can have more normal arches in your feet, therefore restoring normal foot bio-mechanics. Many times, lower back pain and other conditions have been resolved after a patient has their feet adjusted. Here are some other conditions treated by simply adjusting the feet:
Heel Pain
Heel Spur Syndrome
Bottom of Foot Pain
Achilles Tendonitis
Ankle Sprains

Carpal Tunnel

Can you go a day without using your hands? We can’t either! That is why it is so important to take care of our hands and wrists. Because of repeated stress such as holding our phones, working on a computer for hours at a time, and carrying several bags of groceries in 1 trip instead of multiple trips, we cause misalignment to the tiny bones in our wrists and hands. These misalignment can cause numbness, tingling, and pain in our hands, and can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other dysfunctions. By adjusting these tiny bones, we restore proper motion into these joints. In most cases, this alleviates the symptoms because it treats the cause of the problem!
Not only do Hand and Wrist adjustments help with Carpal Tunnel, but they also help with conditions such as:
Median Nerve Entrapment
Carpal Tunnel of Guyon Syndrome
Ulnar Nerve Entrapment
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
