Corrective Exercises
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in good health.
Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive, traction-based treatment designed to alleviate pressure on spinal discs and associated nerve structures. It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing symptoms related to:
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sciatica or radiculopathy
• Chronic neck or lower back pain
☸ Mechanism of Action The therapy utilizes a specialized motorized table to apply controlled mechanical traction to the spine.
This gentle stretching creates negative intradiscal pressure, which may:
• Promote retraction of herniated or bulging disc material
• Enhance nutrient and oxygen exchange to support disc healing
• Reduce compression on spinal nerves, thereby decreasing pain and inflammation
⏰ Treatment Protocol
• Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes and are performed with the patient fully clothed.
• The patient is securely positioned to ensure comfort and safety during traction cycles.
• A full course of treatment may involve multiple sessions over several weeks, depending on the severity and nature of the condition.
☑ Clinical Benefits
• Non-surgical and drug-free
• May improve spinal alignment and disc hydration
• Often integrated with physical therapy or chiropractic care for optimal outcomes
⚠ Contraindications Spinal decompression therapy may not be appropriate for individuals with:
• Spinal fractures or instability
• Advanced osteoporosis
• Spinal tumors or infections
• Surgical hardware such as spinal fusion instrumentation
A thorough clinical evaluation is essential to determine candidacy for this therapy.
Laser Therapy
Avicenna High Power Laser Therapy Education Video
About Polychromatic Light Therapy Video
Avicenna Class IV Laser is a high power laser that has the ability to stimulate and accelerate tissue healing. With a continuous mode of treatment, it can penetrate from superficial to extremely deep beneath the skin, which enables the accelerated treatment of superficial wounds,sprains/strains, and most importantly, deep intra-articular tissues (inside points) that have been considered unreachable by any other physical therapy modalities.
Listed below are some of the cellular effects of the laser:
- Increased growth factor response within cells and tissues, which increases ATP and protein synthesis.
- Accelerated cell reproduction and growth that allows for faster repair of damaged tissues.
- Increased metabolic activity by way of improved enzyme output, which gives rise to the oxygen and nutrient availability.
The effects of the laser provide faster wound healing, reduced fibrous "scar" tissue formation, anti-inflammation, and pain (analgesia) improved vascular activity, increased metabolic activity, improved nerve function at the site of the injury, regulation of the immune system, accelerated tissue repair and cellular growth. Even professional sports teams such as the Boston Celtics, Detroit Tigers, and Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers, New York Jets and the New York Giants have been using the class IV laser to treat injured players for years. Major medical research centers, such as Cedar Sinai Medical Center, Orthopedic Department, and Cornell Medical University have also begun to utilize this technology.
Dry Needling Therapy
Targeting Myofascial Trigger Points for Pain Relief and Recovery
Dry Needling is a specialized technique used to treat myofascial trigger points—painful, tight areas in soft tissue that often reflect abnormal nervous system activity. These points are commonly associated with a variety of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions we treat at Carver Chiropractic Center.
What to Expect During the procedure, a sterile, ultra-thin filament needle is gently inserted into the affected tissue. This helps release tension, improve blood flow, and reset dysfunctional nerve signals.
• One or more needles may be used depending on your condition
• The procedure may be repeated across multiple visits
• Most patients experience little to no discomfort
Why It Matters Dry Needling is not only therapeutic—it’s also diagnostic. It allows us to identify and monitor changes in trigger points that may be contributing to your symptoms, including:
• Chronic muscle pain
• Restricted movement
• Referred pain patterns
• Postural imbalances
Your Care, Your Comfort Treatment is always tailored to your individual needs. We’ll discuss your symptoms and goals before each session to ensure the approach is right for you.
Graston
The Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue ans facial restrictions. The technique is performed with stainless steel instruments designed to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
Treatment with the technique is conducted in concert with a rehabilitation regimen designed to restore patients to their pre-injury level of activity. This is accomplished by implementing a functional progression program which zeros in on patient imbalances throughout the kinetic chain. Flexibility, strengthening and muscle re-education is employed to provide patients with optimal results within a minimal number of treatment sessions.
Individuals who are experiencing pain or loss of motion and function following surgery, injury,cumulative trauma disorders and tendinosis may benefit from the Graston Technique. Some clinical diagnoses which have responded well to the Graston Technique include:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Low Back Pain - Epicondylosis
- Cervical Myofascial Pain - Thoracic Outlet Syndrome - Rotator Cuff Syndrome
- Trigger Finger - Patellor Tendinosis - Achilles Tendinitis
- I.T. Band Syndrome - Ankle Sprain - Plantar Fascitis
- Adhesive Capsulitis - Hamstring Sprain - Post-Surgical Scar Tissue
The Graston Technique frequently provides the following advantages:
- Achieves success where other forms of traditional treatments have failed.
- Fosters faster rehabilitation recovery, and ultimately returns the patient to a higher level of function after trauma, surgery or repetitive stress injuries.
- Allows patients to remain on the job.
The Kinesio Taping Method is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s natural range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting. Wearable for days at a time, this therapeutic tape is safe for populations ranging from pediatric to geriatric, and successfully treats a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and other medical conditions. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesio Taping alleviates pain and facilitates the healing process by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting effect forms convolutions in the skin increasing interstitial space allowing for a decrease in inflammation of the affected areas.
Cupping Therapy
Whether you’re exploring our services for the first time or you’re a returning patient looking to enhance your care, cupping therapy offers a powerful, non-invasive way to relieve pain, restore mobility, and support your body’s natural healing process.
At Carver Chiropractic Center, we offer two specialized forms of cupping therapy: dry cupping and slide cupping.
Dry cupping involves placing stationary cups on specific areas of the body to create localized suction. This technique is especially effective for releasing deep muscle tension, targeting trigger points, and reducing chronic pain.
Slide cupping combines suction with gentle movement. After applying a light oil or lotion, the cups are glided across the skin to stimulate circulation, loosen fascial restrictions, and promote relaxation. Patients often describe it as a massage with therapeutic lift.
Why Patients Choose Cupping at Carver
• It’s a drug-free, natural approach to pain relief
• Sessions are tailored to your condition and comfort level
• It enhances recovery from sports injuries, postural strain, and daily stress
• Many patients feel lighter, looser, and more mobile after just one session
Cupping therapy is often integrated into your personalized treatment plan to help you move better, feel better, and heal faster. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic tension, or simply exploring holistic wellness options, cupping therapy is a gentle yet effective way to support your goals.
