CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS
DIVERSIFIED: A fancy way of saying hands-on, or manual adjustments. Sometimes you may hear some clicks or pops with this type of adjustment, and it’s perfectly normal. It’s just gasses being released from the joint.
ACTIVATOR: Most people call this the clicker. It’s a small, hand-held instrument that delivers a gentle impulse into the joint, to help restore proper function to the area.
DROP TABLE: A piece of the table you lay on pops up half an inch, and contact is applied to the area/joint we’re wanting to correct; this happens as the table gently drops back into place.
SOFT TISSUE / MUSCLE RELEASE: Manual work of the muscles with pressure, movement, and stretching.
AUTO ACCIDENT INJURIES
Dr. Zacharias understands the stress and pain patients are in following personal injury accidents. She will analyze, diagnose, and create an individualized treatment plan for whiplash and soft tissue injuries. Lorelei will thoroughly explain your treatment and update your insurance agency on your behalf.
WORK-RELATED INJURIES
Most work injuries are caused by overuse and repetitive stress injuries. Over time, small tasks done with poor posture can lead to acute and chronic pain. This can result in reduced worker productivity, lost time from work, disability, and an inability to perform job tasks.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy utilises radial pressure waves (acoustic waves) transmitted into the area to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. This technology was developed over 20 years ago, initially designed as a method for breaking up kidney stones.
The positive side effects that were discovered is the improvement of many otherwise difficult to treat conditions, such as:
- Muscle tension/trigger points
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Frozen shoulder
- Tennis/golfer’s elbow (lateral/medial epicondylitis)
- Runners/jumpers knee (patellar tendon injuries)
Most conditions can be treated within approximately three to five visits, based on the severity and length of injury.
ORTHOTICS
Custom orthotics from Titanium Chiropractic and our local supplier Kiwi Orthotic Services can significantly enhance quality of life in several ways:
Improved Foot Function: Custom orthotics are designed to support the unique structure of your feet. They can help distribute pressure evenly, reducing pain and discomfort when walking or standing.
Injury Prevention: By correcting misalignments and providing better arch support, custom orthotics can help prevent common injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and knee pain.
Posture Enhancement: Proper foot alignment supports overall body alignment. This can lead to better posture, reducing strain on the spine and related muscle groups.
Pain Relief: Many users experience decreased pain in the feet, knees, hips, and lower back after using custom orthotics, as they relieve pressure points and improve biomechanical function.
Increased Mobility: With reduced pain and improved function, individuals often find it easier to engage in physical activities they enjoy, leading to an active and healthier lifestyle.
Customization: Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are made from impressions of your feet, designed to your specific needs, which provides more effective treatment based on personal foot structure and lifestyle.
LASER THERAPY
Laser therapy in chiropractic care, often referred to as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or Class II laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve overall function. Here’s how laser therapy works:
Cell Stimulus: The green and violet laser penetrates the skin and stimulates cellular activity, to enhance the regeneration of damaged tissues and accelerate healing processes.
Pain Reduction: Laser therapy can reduce inflammation, stimulate the release of endorphins, and interrupt pain signals sent to the brain, leading to decreased pain perception.
Improved Circulation: Increased blood flow to the treated area aids in recovery by delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
Many individuals experience significant pain reduction in conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and sports injuries, leading to improved daily functioning. Here are several other benefits and quality of life improvements from laser therapy:
Faster Recovery: Athletes and active individuals may find that laser therapy speeds up recovery time from injuries, allowing them to return to their activities sooner.
Reduced Inflammation: The anti-inflammatory effects can alleviate swelling and discomfort, making it easier to engage in physical activities without pain.
Non-Invasive Treatment: Laser therapy is a non-invasive alternative to medications and surgery, making it a safer option for long-term management of chronic conditions.
ABOUT TITANIUM CHIROPRACTIC
Dr. Lorelei Zacharias
Lorelei was born and raised in Abbotsford. She has always had a passion for health care. This led her first into the dental field, where she began as an assistant, then moved on as a dental hygienist. She has a keen interest in TMJ care as it brings both dental and chiropractic together.
Lorelei completed her schooling in 2016 at Life Chiropractic College West in San Francisco. Dr. Zacharias has since returned home, and is excited to serve the community of Maple Ridge.
Outside the office she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Travel is a big part of her life, which has taken her on some great adventures—living in Bermuda for four years being the one she’s most proud of. Learning to scuba dive while she was there has dictated some of her more recent trips.
TITANIUM CHIROPRACTIC PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I went in to see Lorelei for a Chiro appointment, and it was phenomenal!”
“She worked on my muscles before using a cool sound wave machine to release my shoulder tension. She then adjusted my upper spine and neck. In just one session I can look over my shoulder again. Lorelei was super kind and informative. It was my first Chiro session and she walked me through everything she was doing. I’d definitely recommend going here.”
—Marcus W.
“Thank you for everything you have done for me.”
Not only have your adjustments been amazing and made me feel so much better, they’ve also helped me with the tremendously painful migraines I’ve suffered since being diagnosed with Graves’ disease/hyperthyroidism in 2011. Not only are you a regular “Doctor feel good” you also go out of your way to answer any questions, if you don’t know the answer, you will have one by our next session. It’s clear you have a passion, and desire to do this type of work. Thanks, you’re the best!”
—Michael S.
