Running Stretch #4: The psoas muscle is arguably the most important muscle you can stretch for increased hip and low back mobility. It can be a bit tricky to get the right angles to be effective, but keep practicing, its worth it. #running #activehealth #sportsmedicine #drmike #drmandy #chiropractor #acupuncture #milfordct #wereheretohelp
Running Stretch #3: Adductors. #running #sportsmedicine #chiropractor #milfordct #activehealth #drmike #drmandy #activerelease #acupuncture #weareheretohelp #stretch
This is an example of one way we treat shoulder dysfunction or injury. This collegiate athlete has shoulder impingement. This video demonstrates needling of rotator cuff muscles. The attempt is to “hit the reset button” on these tight rotator cuff muscles, giving the joint better mobility and “less impingement”. Combined with other soft tissue and joint mobility work the shoulder will move more freely and be stronger in the long run. We treat every musculoskeletal injury in a similar fashion with modifications based on the patient and severity of injury. #activehealth #sportsmedicine #chiropractic #drmike #drmandy #milfordct #acupuncture #weareheretohelp
Running stretch #2: Quadriceps Stretch is important for maintaining mobility and relieving tightness from overuse in the quads. Tight quads can lead to knee pain and injury. Many times we see patellar tendinitis as a result of tight quads. Remember to stretch, and stretch often. #mobilty #pliability #sportsmedicine #chiropractic #acupuncture #drmike #drmandy #activehealth #milfordct #running
Hamstring stretch - over the next few posts we will demonstrate some basic stretches that can be effective to keep yourself loose while starting a running or training program. Good mobility is the key to performance enhancement and injury prevention. #sportsmedicine #chiropractor #milfordct #drmike #running #stretching
We had a great morning doing 21.3 to the best of our abilities 😜. We then spent some time answering questions, giving out information about our new PNOE - performance lab. We also discussed some of our other services that help with sports injuries, such as medical wave, acupuncture and chiropractic. Thank you to CrossFit Milford for having us. #knowyourself #crossfitopen #activehealth #pnoe #milfordct #chiropractic #acupuncture #sportsmedicine

Medical Wave - previously referred to as “Shockwave”. We have decided to refer to our ESWT (extracorporeal shockwave therapy) as Medical Wave. The term shockwave can be misleading, the treatment has nothing to do with “electrical shock”. The shockwave refers to a phenomenon in physics explaining an energy wave after an impact. In this case the impact caused by our Medical Wave device blasts scar tissue and adhesions, improving the healing process of soft tissue, bone, heel and joint pain. Treatment is usually once per week for 4 weeks. The healing process can take 6-8 weeks after your last session. While no treatment is a guarantee, we have experienced a +90% success rate over the years.
Medical Acupuncture is an effective treatment we use to relieve pain and improve performance in all types of sports and everyday injuries. Our unique, anatomically based acupuncture blends well with our other treatment methods such as chiropractic and soft tissue treatment. #acupuncture #chiropractic #milfordct #orangect #activehealth
