Chiropractic Sports Medicine is a specialized area of chiropractic care that focuses on assessing and treating injuries and dysfunctions related to muscles, nerves, and bones. It offers comprehensive care for individuals seeking specialized treatment for their pain and dysfunction. Dr. Kohen combines traditional chiropractic techniques with sports medicine principles to effectively reduce pain and optimize physical performance.
One of the primary techniques Dr. Kohen utilizes is motion palpation assessment. This involves identifying joint dysfunction and restricted movement in the affected area to determine the underlying cause of the patient’s pain or discomfort. Chiropractic adjustment, a common technique, is used to promote joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and aid in healing. Manual therapy techniques, such as fascial manipulation, may also be employed to address soft tissue restrictions and enhance mobility. Additionally, Dr. Kohen incorporates a neurodynamic approach to assess and treat specific nerves that may contribute to the patient’s neuromusculoskeletal pain or dysfunction.
Treatment plans may also incorporate the McKenzie method, which involves specific exercises and movements to target joint-related issues. In some cases, osteopathic joint pumping, a technique involving rhythmic movements to promote fluid movement within the joint, may also be employed.
