Welcome M Powered Chiropractic: The M stand for Muscle
At MPC®, we believe that smooth and efficient movement is the cornerstone of good health. Our muscles play a crucial role in this, and when they can't contract properly, it can affect our motion, performance, and sometimes lead to pain or reduced physical capabilities.
Our unique method begins by examining your body's muscular symmetry. Since a balanced body is a hallmark of good health, we start by comparing the range of motion and muscle contraction between the left and right sides. If one side is less flexible and less coordinated than the other, it's a sign that the muscles on that side may not be working as well as they should.
We then meticulously assess the muscles that seem weaker to determine if they're contracting optimally. When a muscle isn't performing up to par, we apply targeted techniques to restart it back into action.
Experience the difference, where every muscle counts towards a healthier, more vibrant you.
Unlock the Full Potential of Your Muscles
At the heart of M Powered Chiropractic is a belief in harmony with the body. Instead of imposing changes, our therapy gently guides your body towards improved movement through better muscle contractions. It's like having a conversation with your brain through your muscles, where we listen intently to your body's feedback to tailor the session just for you. Every client's muscle story is unique, so no two sessions are alike.
Think of M Powered Chiropractic not as a fix for a medical condition, but as a fine-tuning for your muscular system. It boosts your muscles' ability to contract, which can lead to a domino effect of benefits: enhanced range of motion, increased strength, and an overall boost in your exercise and physical activities.
What sets us apart is this approach. Unlike other treatments that may focus on stretching, heating, or massaging muscles, our therapy zeroes in on muscle activation. It's about turning the power on rather than just loosening up. This activation ensures that your muscles are ready and responsive, providing a strong foundation for your body to meet the demands of daily life and live with ease and resilience.
Discover how we can activate your body's inherent strength, preparing you to move through life with confidence and vigor.
Pinpointing and Resetting Weak Muscles with Precision
M Powered Chiropractic Practitioners are experts in identifying and reinforcing areas of muscle weakness. With precision, they "Activate" these targeted muscles to restore their strength and function. This activation is meticulously performed using these two techniques:
Specific force application, delivered directly to receptors within the muscle as well as neural reflexes. This stimulation effectively 'reawakens' the muscle, enabling it to regain its contractile force. Think of it as flipping a switch to reignite a dimmed light bulb.
Isometric contractions, where the muscle is engaged and held without changing its length, essentially pushing against an immovable force.
By focusing on this method, MPC practitioners can effectively jumpstart the muscle, much like a skilled electrician precisely restores power to a dormant circuit. This personalized and precise intervention is designed to reignite the muscle's innate power, promoting better stability and function.
The journey to recovery is a personalized one. Each treatment begins with a thorough assessment of joint range of motion, followed by targeted muscle testing to identify areas needing treatment. When we pinpoint weakened muscles, we employ a technique called 'muscle activation,' which involves applying manual pressure to enhance muscle functionality. This approach is designed to yield immediate results, with each treated muscle expected to operate more effectively right away.
Working closely with the patient, the chiropractor formulates a tailor-made treatment plan grounded in the initial diagnostic findings. Progress is monitored and discussed at each session to ensure adherence to the treatment regimen. Typically, each therapy unit (muscle treated) spans about five minutes, and we can accommodate up to six units per session.
It's common for pain to shift from one area to another during treatment, signaling the next group of muscles that require stabilization. By systematically addressing these imbalances, we guide you towards a life free from pain. Each session aims to bring relief, and while the alleviation of all pain may not be instantaneous, not all muscles must be activated for the pain to begin to subside. You might find relief even when there are still muscles that need attention. It's crucial to persist with the full treatment plan to prevent new injuries and ensure a complete and durable recovery.
After completing the full course of treatment, patients transition to a maintenance phase. This involves periodic check-ups, ideally every four to five weeks, to sustain the improvements achieved and safeguard against potential future injuries. Our maintenance plan is a proactive step towards ensuring long-term musculoskeletal health.
M Powered Chiropractic (MPC) offers athletes a cutting-edge way to recover swiftly from the rigors of competition and substantially reduce the risk of future injuries. By priming the body for peak efficiency, our practitioners ensure athletes are in top form for both training and performance. The intense training required for athletes to achieve their ultimate performance inevitably carries the risk of injury. This risk is heightened for those with inherent muscular imbalances—like a car with poor alignment, high speeds will wear out the tires more quickly. In the athlete's body, high-intensity training exacerbates these muscular inefficiencies, sometimes leading to a breakdown under stress.
Unlike traditional therapies that often focus on symptoms, our objective is to pinpoint and strengthen muscular weaknesses before injuries occur. Conventional methods may offer temporary relief, but failing to address the root cause can lead to recurrent or more severe injuries. M Powered Chiropractic excels in both injury prevention and rehabilitation by ensuring your muscular system is balanced, creating an optimal environment for recovery and enhanced performance. This approach allows athletes to return to their sport sooner, with greater abilities than before.
We recommend you wear athletic or loose fitting and comfortable clothing to your appointment due to the amount of bodywork, jeans and dresses make movement difficult.
