Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Sarah Hays has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.
Active Release Technique
ART® is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
Acupuncture Care
This method of health science is thousands of years old with lots of medical research confirming its effectiveness for a wide variety of conditions. Acupuncture is used to successfully treat both pain mechanisms and dysfunction throughout the body. The most common conditions treated with Acupuncture are : migraines, headaches, chronic pain, infertility, muscle hypertonicity, low back pain, and TMJ but can be used to treat any medical condition.
Corrective Exercises
At Little Rock Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Dry Needling
Trigger-point dry needling involves the insertion of a thin monofilament needle into muscular trigger points to treat underlying pain. This modern procedure is designed to ease pain/tension, improve range of motion, increase blood flow, provide nerve stimulation, and normalize muscle function. Dry needling can be used in treating a host of different musculoskeletal conditions. Myofascial pain, muscle strains, contracture/spasms, headaches, back pain, TMJ/TMD, fibromyalgia, and much more.
Cupping
Cupping is a type of therapy that involves placing rubber cups onto the skin to create suction. This modality can help alleviate nerve pain and muscle tension by stimulating the immune response, promoting peripheral blood circulation, and decompression of subcutaneous tissue.
Taping
Taping is an effective tool that helps with pain, along with providing imperative biofeedback to the brain, allowing your muscles to work more efficiently.
