Corrective Exercises

Nothing complements your spinal correction like strengthening weakened muscles and tissues with corrective movement and stretches. When your spine is out of alignment, your body may be using muscles and tissues incorrectly which causes weakening and sometimes pain.  By working with targeted movement programs, you will quickly build strength and flexibility while alleviating pain, headaches, and lack of mobility. Dr. Morgan will prescribe an exercise plan directly related to your personal condition and will be checking you and your progress throughout your wellness program.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy works incredibly well in combination with chiropractic and treats a wide variety of diseases, disorders, and disabilities using specific strengthening and stretching. 

Methods for treatment can vary greatly, depending on each specific patients situation. 

Neck Adjustments

Chiropractic neck adjustments are widely viewed as one of the best, drug-free, surgery-free methods available for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. 

The neck joint adjustment is a highly skilled procedure which requires relatively little pressure. 

Few other medical treatments have a cleaner safety record for the treatment of spinal pain and neck pain.

For anyone who would prefer a "non-popping" neck adjustment, Dr. Morgan also uses very gentle muscle work and the Activator adjusting technique to achieve the same results as a traditional chiropractic neck adjustment.

Activator Adjusting Technique

Activator Adjusting Technique is a chiropractic method that uses a MFMA (mechanical force manual assisted) device for adjustments. This  technique is an alternative to manual adjustments and is generally viewed as a more comfortable experience. There are two distinct benefits for MFMA device assisted treatments. Firstly, the device quickly delivers pressure to the affected area before muscles can tense up and resist the treatment. Additionally, the tool applies direct and precise force to a small area, without exerting pressure to the surrounding joints.

At Ascend we understand that a comfortable patient experience is crucial to an effective treatment, therefore it is our top priority.

Nutritional Coaching

How is nutrition related to proper chiropractic care?  Dr. Morgan's goal is to help the patient achieve complete health and balance through an individualized regimen of nutritional recommendations in addition to the adjustments and musculoskeletal advice. 

Do you know which foods and supplements are beneficial and which are keeping you unhealthy? 

Dr. Morgan will provide thorough advice and recommendations based on each individual's situation.

Auto Accident Evaluations

Unfortunately accidents happen, and at Ascend our main priority is your complete and healthy recovery. In the event of an accident, scheduling a complete chiropractic evaluation as soon as possible is important for ensuring a quick recovery.

Neurological Testing

A neurological examination is utilized if damage to the nervous system is suspected.  The testing involves a complete and thorough examination of the arms, legs, and trunk of the patient.  Since many health problems originate from a damaged nervous system, early diagnosis is important. 

Symptoms include:

• Bowel or bladder issues
• Walking problems
• Involuntary muscle spasms
• Numbness, tingling, or pain.
• Balance problems
• Weakened muscle strength and tone
• Less responsive reflexes

Range of Motion Testing

The range of motion test determines health through flexibility.  Although frequently neglected, flexibility is an important contributor to full body wellness and injury prevention.  Poor range of motion may be caused by pain, swelling, and stiffness in joints, which may eventually lead to arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis.  Neglecting treatment can have lasting negative effects on overall movement and quality of life.

Adjusting Children

We offer different consultations for children depending on their age. Many health issues from infancy through adolescence and into adulthood can be corrected with chiropractic care. An evaluation will determine whether the problem can be managed at our office. 

For toddlers and older children, the common bumps and bruises of active play, along with more serious falls and injuries, can cause misalignments.

Getting treatment while they are young, ensures that old injuries won’t impede daily life later on. 

Injury Rehabilitation

Injuries happen, and at Ascend we make your speedy recovery our top priority.  We start with a full body assessment to outline your complete recovery plan. We offer a wide range of rehabilitation practices that are customized to the individual’s needs.
