ABOUT OUR CLINIC
Gerard Chiropractic is a family owned practice established in September of 2015 in Eldridge, Iowa. Dr. Shawn excels in providing patients of all ages with caring, knowledgeable, and professional healthcare treatment for the entire body with the use of the latest and most effective techniques.
• Spine & Extremity Adjustments
• Sports Physicals | $25
• Myofascial Release - Safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This technique focuses on releasing muscular tension and tightness in the body. This technique combined with a Chiropractic adjustment greatly maximizes benefits.
• Trigger Point Therapy - Helps reduce tension in tight muscles by restricting blood flow to muscular trigger points.
• Electric Stimulation Therapy - Electric impulses help reduce muscle spasms, edema, and pain. Electric stimulation helps to relive pain by sending impulses through the skin to the underlying nerves. The electrical impulses work by blocking and overriding the pain signal.
• Ultrasound Therapy - Ultrasound therapy uses deep heat to help reduce muscle spasms, reduce edema/inflammation, and promote healing of injured soft tissue structures..
• Activator - Instrument assisted adjustment
• Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation - Works by using stainless-steel tools to increase tissue elasticity and fibroblastic activity by softening scar tissue and adhesions in the soft tissue.
• Sports Injury & Rehab
• Kinesio Taping - Kinesio Taping is used in the prevention and management of injuries. Preventative taping may decrease the occurence of chronic or overuse injuries while improving muscle function. It is also beneficial in the management of injuries by reducing pain symptoms and supporting joint function. Taping can also help improve blood and lymphatic flow resulting in the reduction of inflammation
