At Fox Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Orlando office.
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Tamara Fox has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.
Dr. Tamara Fox uses mechanical traction by Leander to release nerve impingement due to disc herniations and bulges. The mechanical traction table is the originator of decompression, and will laterally flex the patient to the right and left allowing for decreased intradiscal pressure. The key in preventing arthritic changes and disc injuries is to stretch out the spine, not the "old school" techniques, which are quite short term. Traction allows for a long term approach to spinal healthcare. While Dr. Fox does utilize the old school method as well, she preferably uses traction to open up the spine. Activator Methods, Sacro-Occipital Technique, Diversified, Gonstead, and Toggle-Recoil, and Thompson Drop are primarily used based on each patient's complaint. Toggle-Recoil is an excellent "hole in one technique" used for vertigo, dizziness, and headaches. Infants and children are also cared for in our office with sustained finger pressure to the atlas vertebrae for cholic, ear infections, and ADD.
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 health.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
Nutritional Counseling
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patientīs return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Tamara Fox can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
Massage Therapy and Acupuncture
Massage therapy offers a natural conservative treatment approach that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's condition and injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aid in recovery and range of motion. Acupuncture also allows the nervous system to flow better and assists in pain, especially the small joints.
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.
