1) Chriopractic

Chiropractic care is a non-surgical, non-drug, hands-on approach to healthcare focused on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system. Chiropractic is utilized to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints through spinal manipulation mobilization and manual therapy of the muscles and soft tissues. Chiropractic care is used to treat a wide variety of disorders including, but not limited to, low back pain, upper back/neck pain, pain in the arms and legs, headaches and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ/TMD).

2) Massage Therapy

Massage is one of the oldest healing arts. It is the manipulation of soft tissue, tendons, muscles and ligaments to improve a person's health and well being. Before you decide which kind of massage style or therapy you would like, you should ask yourself two questions. Do you want a massage to help with relaxation and stress control? Or, do you want a massage to relieve pain or to help with any health condition you may have?

3) Rehabilitation

Corrective rehabilitation involves the use exercise and movement patterns in order to fix faulty movement patterns, address asymmetries and to fix muscle imbalances. At Active Life, we always start with various movement screens and tests in order to determine where these imbalances lie. These screens can be used as an aid so that we are able to determine why we are having injury problems. Using those results, we are able to develop a customized corrective exercise program that will help to restore proper movement patterns.

Corrective exercise programs include corrective breathing exercises, mobility and stability training depending on where the issue lies. At Active Life we believe that everyone needs proper movement so that we can be well and stay well.

4) Dry Needling

Dry needling is one of the healing modalities used at Active Life Chiropractic & Massage Center in Mead, Colorado. A relative of traditional acupuncture, dry needling involves applying the needles directly into myofascial trigger points. Trigger points are hyperirritable spots in the fascia surrounding the muscle. These spots are tender to the touch or with pressure and usually feel like a "knot" or "band" in the muscle. The insertion and manipulation of the needle in the trigger point can cause a twitch within the muscle. This twitch results in muscle relaxation due to the release of shortened bands of muscle fibers with the dry needling procedure.

Research has shown that inserting the dry needles into the trigger points can cause favorable biochemical changes, which help to reduce pain. A major advantage to dry needling is that we can treat parts of muscle and deeper layers of muscle that our hands cannot reach. The deactivation of these trigger points can bring an immediate relief of symptoms.

5) Sports Medicine

Our philosophy on sports medicine is to utilize the actions and movements from your sport of choice to help provide a sports specific injury treatment program.

Our sports medicine techniques include RockTape or kinesiotaping in order to aid or restrict movement, whichever is needed. Taping also is effective at reducing swelling and promoting blood flow to the area to help stimulate more efficient healing. We also utilize the concepts of the Functional & Kinetic Tissue Treatment with Rehab (FAKTR) protocol. FAKTR is a soft tissue technique that involves treating the injured muscle in a variety of settings such as with movement, under resistance, on unstable surfaces (balance and proprioception) and incorporating sports specific movements.

In cases of extreme pain from an acute or new injury, we utilize hot/cold packs, electric stimulation and therapeutic ultrasound in order to help treat the initial stages of the injury so that we may begin a rehabilitative program quicker, thus aiding to a speedy recovery.
