Achy muscles, prolonged injuries, and lengthy bouts of inactivity do not have to be a way of life if you opt for physiotherapy at Broadway Chiropractic and Wellness. Our Midtown West Manhattan chiropractor offers various techniques that fall into this all-natural, non-invasive and feel-good category. We can use one or a combination of techniques to tailor an individualized recovery program designed to provide you with the speediest and most effective recovery.

Physical Therapy, Massage Can Be Part of Recovery and Pain-Relief Program

Physical therapy is typically an integral part of our healing and recovery plans. This type of therapy involves specific exercises and stretches meant to retain mobility, improve flexibility, and strengthen the affected area. We have facilities for you do perform exercises at our clinic and usually send patients home with gentle exercises and stretches they can continue to do on their own.

Massage therapy is another effective tool for alleviating pain and speeding up recovery. We offer various types of massage, all of which improve circulation, release tension, and can advance healing. Massage is not only beneficial for the body, but it can be incredibly soothing and relaxing for the mind. A stressed-out body reacts by pumping itself full of stress-fighting hormones that can keep you on edge, uncomfortable and lock your muscles into a tensed-up network that slows down healing and recovery.

Other techniques we employ for pain management and recovery include disc therapy and mechanical and intersegmental traction to realign and restore the spine as well as ultrasound and inferential electrical muscle stimulation to help with healing at the body’s cellular level. Utrasound and electrical muscle stimulation are particularly beneficial for soft tissue injuries, as are cryotherapy and moist heat therapy. Our use of cold in cryotherapy helps reduce swelling and inflammation while the heat in our moist heat therapy improves circulation and relaxes muscles.

Basic Healthy Food Choices to Aid in Weight Management

Some things that you can do to make sure you are eating nutritiously are to eat more fruits and vegetables and stay away from sugary sweets.  It is good to always have healthy foods readily available so that when you want a snack you will have healthy choices at your fingertips.  Try eating a fresh apple or pear for a mid-morning snack.  Grab a handful of almonds or string cheese when hunger strikes in the afternoon.

Choosing protein or fiber-rich foods which will make you feel full faster and help decrease calorie intake. Eat lean protein such as chicken, turkey or fish for lunch; these choices are not only good for you they are low in fat and calories.  Another suggestion is to eat whole foods whenever possible. Avoid processed foods and instead of a frozen entree take some time to prepare your food fresh.

Drink plenty of water instead for soda or other sugary drinks.  Find vitamins and supplements that will satisfy your daily nutritional needs.  It is best to eat most of your calories early in the day and consume mainly protein in the evening.  Eating healthfully by following the nutritional guidelines of the current food pyramid which suggests fruits, vegetables, fiber, dairy and small portions of low fat meats will help promote good nutrition and assist with weight management.

Visit our Midtown West Manhattan chiropractors to get a jump start on your health through chiropractic care and nutritional counseling.  Start working toward total body wellness by changing the way you eat, getting the proper daily exercise and letting our doctors develop a personalized program that will promote wellness.
