Muscle Activation Chiropractic Therapy

Dr. Madsen, lovingly referred to as the "Muscle Whisperer", is passionate about helping people get to the root cause of their symptoms so the healing process may begin. She knows that by giving the body the basic building blocks necessary, the body has the ability to repair itself naturally. Dr. Madsen is knows it is imperative to have proper muscle function for structural stability. Proper functioning muscles are crucial for everything we do in life

from sitting down in a chair to executing an intricate gymnastics routine. Muscle activation is an acupressure (not acupuncture, there are no needles involved) technique that corrects muscle dysfunction and imbalances that result from injury and promotes the body’s ability to carry out these tasks. It supports traditional chiropractic care and addresses the root cause of musculoskeletal conditions. Muscle activation tends to be a quicker, more permanent solution to a myriad of muscle and joint problems.  In many cases, frequent chiropractic treatments for long periods of time are typically not necessary to resolve these conditions.

The movement of every joint in the body is controlled and supported by many surrounding muscles.  Each of these muscles plays an important role in creating smooth biomechanical movements.    However, emotional, nutritional, and physical stresses or injuries can interrupt the neurological message from the brain that tells individual muscles to contract. As a result, one or more muscles are left unable to contract at their full potential. Surrounding muscles are forced to work overtime and the stability of the joint is compromised.  The body is then more prone to injuries, muscle spasms, pain, motion restrictions, etc.  These muscle and joint dysfunctions can also set the body up for a tendency to develop osteoarthritis. It may be surprising how many conditions muscle activation applies to. Muscle activation may resolve headaches, TMJ pain, numbness, tingling, sciatica, disc pain, nerve pain, and much more.

Your muscle activation practitioner will identify instabilities of the body through a functional exam. This comprehensive evaluation will reveal areas of dysfunction and involves testing hundreds of muscles in the body from head to toe with simple manual muscle tests. Throughout the exam, patients quickly see the difference between muscles that are functioning and muscles that cannot lock in place.  Muscle activation can then be used to re-establish function to individual muscles. The majority of the time, muscle activation provides immediate results. When the muscle is re-tested, it is very obvious the muscle is functioning again. There are a few individuals that take a little longer to respond to the treatment and may notice a difference in a few hours to a few days. Either way, the body can then start to heal. Whether you are a professional athlete, businessman, or stay at home mom; muscle activation may be the answer to help you get your life back. Dr. Madsen can help you achieve a more complete, functional, and enriched life.
