Supportive Chiropractic Care

Ongoing supportive chiropractic care often plays a significant role in the recovery and prevention of similar or new spinal injuries or conditions. The goal of supportive care is to monitor the prior injury site and help maintain the renewed musculoskeletal function. 

To enhance your recovery and prevent further episodes of similar conditions, Dr. Stroker will educate you on specific features of your condition and all the potential risk factors that may need to be corrected, modified, or avoided. In addition, Dr. Stroker will provide a detailed home-treatment regiment, consisting of specific exercises, stretching procedures, and home-treatment therapies.

Successful recovery and prevention requires:

   ✓ Education

   ✓ Ergonomic Instruction

   ✓ Strengthening and Toning Exercises

   ✓ Stretching Procedures

   ✓ Home Treatment Therapies

Rehabilitative and Preventative Stretches

Stretching will maintain healthy muscle tone and flexibility, thus providing pain-free range of motion throughout the body.  Below are four videos that detail different stretches that can be used to alleviate tension in the back and hips.
