Massage Therapy
Massage therapy offers a natural conservative treatment approach that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's condition and injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aid in recovery and range of motion.

Treatments / Modalities
Spinal Adjustment
Dr. O'Mead uses both traditional adjusting techniques as well as state-of-the-art instruments that involve literally no “twisting” or “popping” of the spine. These techniques are tried and true, totally safe, and very effective.
Traction-Massage
In Chiropractic traction-massage, the patient lies face up with a pillow under the knees. A system of rollers then moves up and down the spine, gently stretching and massaging the muscles of the back. Traction-massage is performed along with an adjustment to relax the spine, making the adjustment easier to perform, more comfortable, and more beneficial.
Therapeutic Exercise
Dr. O'Mead commonly prescribes specific strengthening exercises for our patients with back, neck, and extremity problems. These exercises can decrease pain, prevent muscle deterioration, promote joint health, increase strength, stability, and range of motion, and protect against new or recurring injuries. Dr. O'Mead will show you how to do the exercises and supervise you until you are comfortable doing them on your own. It's important to keep up with your exercises as prescribed (similarly to drug prescriptions). Studies show that individuals who follow their exercise instructions heal faster than those who do not.
X-ray Studies
Based on the nature of your condition as well as a number of other factors, X-ray studies of your spine or injured body part may be indicated. At Advanced Chiropractic, we offer on-site X-rays, making this your one-stop visit.
Cold-Laser Therapy
In Chiropractic cold-laser therapy, the patient uses this FDA-approved light (photon energy) with the unique property of being able to penetrate up to two inches below the skin’s surface causing an increase in cellular metabolism with no tissue damage whatsoever. The therapy is painless and totally non-invasive.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy
Dr. O'Mead uses state-of-the-art DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy. He is dedicated to offering the latest therapies for treating pain in the low back and neck, sciatica, pinched nerves, and bulging or degenerative disc diseases. This is the leading non-surgical alternative for disc-related syndromes of the lumbar and cervical spine.

TurboSonic® Full-Body Vibration Therapy
TurboSonic® patented technology accelerates the body's natural healing response, increases cellular oxygen circulation, enhances cellular nutrient uptake, stimulates cellular fluid movement, and facilitates cellular waste removal.
Improve:
• Circulation
• Strength and performance
• Energy and endurance
• Balance and coordination
• Flexibility and agility
• Health and well being
Reduce:
• Pain
• Stress
• Fatigue
• Cortisol (the “stress hormone” that adds fat to your waist line)
• Fat and cellulite
The TurboSonic has a positive effect on:
• muscle tissue
• nerves
• blood vessels
• bones
• cartilage
• hormones
• neurotransmitters
The effects of the TurboSonic depend on:
• the frequency of the vibration in Hz (the number of impulses per second)
• the amplitude of the vibration in Mm (the extent of the movement)
• the acceleration of the vibration in G (the power/force of the movement)
• the duration of the vibration in seconds or minutes (the time one spends on the apparatus)
• the position on the apparatus (the stance one uses on the apparatus)
Exercise involving vibration in the vertical direction also causes greater caloric consumption than regular aerobic exercise.
Whole Body Vibration exercise, in conjunction with conventional muscle exercise, can increase maximum muscle strength by over 30%. It can also reduce the period of training required by 85% and time spent exercising by over 50%. Moreover, unlike in conventional muscle training methods involving the lifting of weights, little additional load is imposed on joints, ligaments, and tendons in WBV exercise. Consequently, the risk of exercise-induced injury is reduced to a negligible level.
