Corrective Exercises/Rehabilitation

Every patient is different. This is why Dr. O’Hara writes a custom exercise/rehabilitation program for each patient. This will strengthen and correct the individual’s unique problem. By investing minutes a day into your own rehabilitation significant and timely process can be made. Often these can be done in the comfort of your own home or office and lead to a more effective spinal or extremity correction. In the addition to osseous misalignment, muscle and connective tissue can become displaced or strained. This can lead to improper alignment, which leads to dysfunction. For ease and convenience, individual exercise protocol can be accessed via the Internet. So if you forget your routine or how to do a particular exercise, patients can access our online video library for simple, easy to follow instruction or clarification.

Massage Therapy/Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a modality used to increase range of motion and decrease pain. Fascia is a net-like connective tissue that lies between the underside of your skin and the upper layer of muscles. Ideally, this tissue moves without restriction. However, it can also get hung up in areas of dysfunction, exacerbating, and in some cases, causing aberrant motion and pain.  The release of these restrictions increases blood flow and range of motion, aiding in the healing process. Myofascial Release uses deep tissue massage techniques, coupled with range of motion stretching, to release adhesions between the fascia and the muscle. This, in turn, aids in the return of function to the area of concern.

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

Extremity Adjustment

A little know fact, a select few chiropractors, such as Dr. O’Hara, are trained and excel in the  chiropractic technique of extremity adjusting. Extremities include wrists (carpal tunnel) ankles  (sprains/strains) knees,  fingers, toes, elbows, shoulders ect… This is done using the same  philosophy that is used to align spinal  segments. A joint that is misaligned has an increased propensity for aberrant motion and pain. Grammas to  athletes benefit greatly from this modality.
