           CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS (SPINAL MANIPULATION)

 

Dr. Goudreau has been trained for 4 years at an educational institution priding themselves on being spinal care experts (www.cmcc.ca). Sometimes, certain joints within the body are not moving the way they were made to - a chiropractic adjustment to that joint, be it in the spine or extremity, can help that joint move better and cause less pain.  Mobilizations, which are a gentle technique, may also be implemented with care.

           ACUPUNCTURE (MSK)

 

Trained by Dr. Kwong Chiu, a practicing chiropractor and acupuncture provider for over 20 years, Dr. Goudreau learned the techniques to treat injuries with this type of adjudicative care used for thousands of years.  Dr. Goudreau is not an acupuncturist or registered with the CTCMPAO, but can provide patients with acupuncture as an adjunct to other types of care.  With minimal discomfort, stainless steel, one-time use needles are inserted into the body to help control inflammation and induce a healing reaction in that area.

           INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE TECHNIQUE (IASTT)

 

As a Level One Graston certified practitioner, utilizing this protocol allows Dr. Goudreau and his patients truly feel adhesions in the muscles and fascia.  Using an emoliant to guide the tool across the skin, this technique helps loosen up areas where tissue adhesions may be present and help in recovery.

           LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY

 

 Also known as Cold Laser, Laser therapy is a widely researched and safe treatment strategy for a wide variety of conditions, with treatments delivered in under 2 minutes.  MedX® Phototherapy is a highly effective treatment which increases local micro-circulation: accelerates tissue repair, reduces pain, decreases inflammation/edema, and angiogenesis (blood flow)

           KINESIOTAPING

 

Certain patients may require additional tools for their rehabiliative efforts.  Utilizing Kinesiotape can help increase body awareness (known as proprioception), reduce swelling/edema in certain regions, decrease bruising, and help individuals perform their job or activity.  Dr. Goudreau has also found that it is great for posture awareness, because the tape can be felt and let you know if your body is in poor posture.

           REHABILITATION / PREVENTATIVE EXERCISES

​

There is only so much an individual chiropractor can do "in house".  Dr. Goudreau provides each one of his patients stretches, strengthening exercises, and corrective exercises to help the area being treated get better quicker, and keep it in a healthy state by using preventative measures.  Cost effective and to the point, most low-tech approaches to rehabilitation will work to aid any individual on their road to recovery.
