As an avid soccer fan, I have been enjoying the games of the 2010 World Cup.  After playing soccer for eight years, I know all of the injuries and pains that these athletes can suffer from training, practice, and games.  It made me wonder which of my favorite players utilize chiropractic care and what they had to say about it.  After a bit of research, I found that not only do many soccer players have a team chiropractic physician, but adjustments are many times a part of their game-day routine!  In fact, one of my favorite US soccer players, Landon Donovan, said that he enjoys chiropractic treatment before games to maximize his performance and recommends chiropractic care to anyone wanting to get the most out of their workouts and feel their best.  Who could blame them for wanting for feel their best? I bet our doctors at Washington Park Chiropractic would love to treat Donavon whenever he is in Denver!

Advances in sports injury care with the Graston Technique

By: Dr. Lisa Goodman, DC, CCSP

The Graston Technique is used daily in my office to treat sports injuries, muscle and ligament pain and repetative stress injuries.  Over the last few years as advances in training and technology continue, I have improved my education and continue to develop my technique.  A recent study confirms the results I have been seeing in my office.

Clinical Experience: As a level 3 certified Graston Technique practitioner, I have had years of experience with static and motion treatment.  I have found a significant increase in pain relief, range of motion and function when I implement motion and weight bearing to Graston treatments.  Using motion and weightbearing are one benefit that make Graston treatments unique to any other type of myofascial release.  You would certainly find it difficult to treat tennis elbow while doing a push-up with massage or myofascial release, but with Graston I can have a patient doing a push-up on the floor while treating them.  This positional treatment can sigificantly speed results.  Often patients see dramatic results in fewer than 6 treatments!  See the study details below.   

We have been comfortably in our new office for nearly three months.  Thanks to everyone who came out to our Grand Opening Cocktail Party, it was really tremendous.  We have incredibly supportive patients, collegues, family and friends!  See below for announcements about our new hours and services:
