Action Spine & Sports Medicine Information

Action Spine & Sports Medicine is a conservative sports medicine practice specializing in high-performance healthcare. We offer the most cutting-edge, innovative and integrated sports medicine techniques ranging from physiotherapy and athletic training to chiropractic care. What We Offer Functional Dry Needling Functional Dry Needling (FDN) involves the insertion of a thin filament needle to stimulate the healing process of soft tissues (muscle “trigger points”, fascia, tendons and ligaments, etc.) resulting in pain relief and restoration of healthy physiology. FDN aims to stimulate a local twitch response in order to release muscle tension and pain. Research supports that FDN improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, normalizes biochemical and electrical dysfunction of motor endplates, and facilitates an accelerated return to active rehabilitation. Graston Technique® Graston Technique® is an evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively address scar tissue and fascial restrictions resulting in improved patient outcomes. The technique uses specially-designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. Class IV Laser Therapy Laser therapy is the non-invasive use of laser energy to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions. Sports Chiropractic Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Sports chiropractors are those who focus their care on injury care, injury prevention and performance enhancement in the athletic arena. This includes caring for professional, elite amateur and recreational athletes. Comprehensive sports medicine evaluation Functional movement analysis Gait analysis
