Dr. Ebling utilizes comprehensive therapies and techniques:

         

• Diversified Adjusting
  Refers to a style of adjusting that involves specific positioning of the affected area followed by the application of a high-velocity and low-amplitude thrust to improve the mechanics of the region.

• Drop Table Adjusting
  Utilizes a special table that has sections that fall away as the doctor applies force to a specific area. Many patients prefer this type of adjusting as the body is typically left in a neutral position

• Instrument Assisted Adjusting
  Involves the use of a tool that applies a very localized, light force over the area that the Chiropractor determines needs to be adjusted.   

• Frequency Specific Microcurrent
  The device is registered with the FDA as a TENS unit and as such is recognized as a safe means of providing pain control.  No medical treatment is ever guaranteed to work, but top athletes and patient's all over the world consistently report reductions in pain levels, faster recovery time and general satisfaction with the device in the hands of a trained practitioner.

    Low Level Light Therapy (Cold Laser)

                                                
   
   
   
   
       
        Utilizes infrared light to alter tissue function in the
        medical and veterinarian settings.  Some studies have
        shown increased mitochondrial production of ATP (the
        cells fuel), increased collagen and elastin synthesis and
        decreased oxidative stress, neutrophil infiltration and
        production of pain chemicals (prostaglandins,
        interleukin-1 beta) near injury sites.

• Interferrential Current (IFC) and Therapeutic Ultra Sound (US)

        Commonly utilized physical therapy modalities that
        assist in pain control through muscular fatigue and
        stimulation of internal analgesics (IFC) or deep heating 
        and movement of interstitial fluids (US).

• Soft Tissue Massage
  Having started my studies of the human body through massage therapy over a decade ago, my work is deep yet gentle with a focus on connective tissues that tie distant areas together.

• Intrapelvic Manipulation
  For many people that suffer from chronic low back, hip and leg pain, the muscles and joints of the pelvic bowl are often affected.  Like the other skeletal muscles in the body, this area is susceptible to altered tension or tone and can develop trigger points and scar tissue from trauma, stress or changed bio- mechanics

"Factors that may contribute to pelvic floor concerns include childbirth, obesity, menopause, stress, straining during bowel    
        movements and older age. Half of
        women over age 50 experience pelvic floor weakening.
        Several types of treatment can provide relief for pelvic floor
        disorders... When pelvic floor muscles are tight and
        painful (pelvic floor tension myalgia), exercise to
        improve the strength and stability of the spine can be
        helpful. In addition, massage techniques to release tight
        muscles can ease pain."   For self help information, also
        from the Mayo Clinic, follow this link to Pelvic Floor
        Exercises.
        Additionally, read what Dr. Leon Chaitow, DO, ND
        writes about "The Pelvic Floor Paradox" in young female
        athletes.  As this article states, too much tone can also
        be a problem, in which case Kegel type exercises would
        be inappropriate.  Seeing a specialist like myself can
        help to determine the state of your pelvic musculature.

• Individualized Self Care Exercises
  I will customize easy to incorporate stretches and light strengthening exercises to your body, your activity level and your schedule.  I understand how busy you are and want to teach you the tools that you need so you can help yourself in between visits to the office.
• Kinesio® Tex Tape
  A unique tape that remains in place for 3-5 days showing promising results with chronic and acute swelling as well as pain relief.  Seen on a growing number of athletes and now available at Elemental Medicine for your body too.
