Legacy's Preventative Care Approach

At the heart of Legacy is our preventative care approach that emphasizes guarding against illness and chronic conditions. By focusing on pain management, we ensure that you maintain an active, fulfilling lifestyle. Incorporating our services means promoting longevity, wellness, and a proactive stance towards your health

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has emerged as a promising approach for pain management, offering a non-invasive and drug-free alternative to traditional methods.

Our pain management lasers help activate your body’s ability to repair itself. The pain management laser can help stimulate anti-inflammatory responses, improve blood flow and restore nerve function in damaged tissue, which can help relieve your pain and speed up recovery.

Understanding the Mechanism

When applied to the skin, the light waves emitted by the laser penetrate deep into the tissue, where they are absorbed by the mitochondria – the energy powerhouses of cells. This absorption triggers a cascade of biochemical reactions, leading to increased cellular energy production and the release of signaling molecules that modulate inflammation and promote tissue regeneration.

 

The common underlying factor in pain management is inflammation in the body, whether that is caused by an injury or a chronic condition. Our pain management laser may help decrease inflammation and promote tissue healing and regeneration. This is one non-invasive method to help reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and your body’s natural ability to heal damaged tissue.

Chiropractic Adjustments

From precise adjustment techniques – including Diversified, Thompson, Webster Technique, Activator and more — our spinal and extremity adjustments reinstate harmony within your body's biomechanics.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Our IASTM practice revitalizes your muscles, liberating them from the grip of scar tissue and reinstating optimal blood flow.

Class IV Laser Therapy

This type of therapy works by sending photon energy deep into the cellular level, which helps to stimulate blood flow, reduces inflammation, decreases pain and activates the mitochondria in our cells to produce more energy for healing.

Ultrasound Therapy

Utilizes sound waves to go deeper into the tissues to decrease swelling/inflammation, reduce pain and stimulate healing.  

High Voltage Electrical Stimulation

We stimulate the nerves and muscles by using electric currents that decrease pain signaling, stimulate proper muscle contraction, and promote tissue healing.

Cupping Therapy

Our cupping technique is used by suctioning cups to injured/tight areas of the body to increase blood flow, promote relaxation and relieve muscle tension. Cupping can have great benefits on healing and breaking through fascial adhesions and restrictions in the connective tissue. 

Shockwave Therapy

Utilizes high-energy acoustic waves that are generated and delivered to injured/damaged tissues, resulting in increased circulation, enhanced tissue regeneration, pain reduction and improved cellular metabolism.

Myofascial Release

Applies sustained pressure, stretching, and massage to the fascial tissue to help release trigger points, myofascial restrictions and improve flexibility.  

Dynamic Stretching Techniques

We utilize a variety of dynamic stretching techniques, which focuses on actively moving the joints and muscles through full range of motion for increased flexibility. These stretches focus on a continuous, controlled movement to increase blood flow to multiple muscle groups and joints for overall enhanced range of motion and activation of the muscles.  

Flexion/Distraction

This technique utilizes a specific treatment table that is controlled by the chiropractor to facilitate movements on the patient's lumbar spine, designed to alleviate pain and improve spinal mobility for those experiencing disc related issues or degenerative changes in their lumbar spine.  

Concussion Protocols

Across musculoskeletal and functional horizons, our chiropractors use specific protocols that may include spinal adjustments, modalities, supplement/nutrition/lifestyle recommendations and comanaging care with our PT/Medical departments as well as outside medical providers.

The PT team will specifically focus on the Vestibular Rehab and Exertion Therapy side of concussion management (see more below).

Instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

This technique (also known as scraping) uses specific tools to break through fascial restrictions and scar tissue to reduce inflammation and stimulate blood flow to the affected tissues.

Class IV Laser Therapy

‍This type of therapy works by sending photon energy deep into the cellular level, which helps to stimulate blood flow, reduces inflammation, decreases pain and activates the mitochondria in our cells.  

NormaTec Compression Sleeves

This technique utilizes compression sleeves that pulsate air to massage the limbs to increase blood flow, reduce muscle soreness and accelerate recovery.

Cold Compression Therapy

This technique utilizes a specific treatment table that is controlled by the chiropractor to facilitate movements on the patient's lumbar spine, designed to alleviate pain and improve spinal mobility for those experiencing disc related issues or degenerative changes in their lumbar spine.  

Balance Therapy

Aims to help improve proprioception, stability and coordination to mitigate fall risks and rehab after orthopedic injuries/surgeries, concussions, or vestibular disorders.  

Sports/Orthopedic Physical Therapy

Our PT department specializes in sports/orthopedic focused care by forming specific care plans tailored to that individual to restore function, strength and flexibility to return you to your sport/activity as soon as possible. This may include therapy for sports related injuries, joint replacements, ligament/tendon injuries and more.  

Post-Op Rehab

We provide tailored exercise programs and interventions to facilitate recovery after surgical procedures like tendon repairs, joint replacements, and ligament reconstructions.

Injury Prevention

With a focused injury prevention plan we can help assess movement patterns by addressing muscle imbalances and providing education and specific exercises to reduce the risk of injuries, especially the all too common, ACL tear.  

Dry Needling

A technique that uses very thin, non-medicated needles into a trigger point that is causing spasms or tight muscle knots, to help alleviate muscle pains and increase blood flow.

Vestibular/Exertion Therapy

Vestibular therapy focuses on addressing dysfunction within the vestibular balance system through specific exercises and training to help improve balance, spatial orientation, and coordination.  Exertion therapy involves carefully managing increased physical activity to gradually reintroduce individuals to exercise without exacerbating symptoms. This is commonly used during the management of concussions.
