Get Back To Living The Way You Want!
Over the last thirty years, thousands of athletes—from those that are only athletes at heart to recreational and Olympic athletes—have made rapid returns and achieved higher levels of success after visiting our office. We approach each individual with the goal of returning them to a healthy and pain-free state in the shortest possible time. We assess, evaluate, think, and treat based on their specific needs.
What We Do
Sports Rehab
Chiropractic Care
Treatment at our office is more than adjustments; the care is comprehensive, safe, and effective. It is a health-promoting process for long-term health. It is also a team effort. We begin with a consultation, followed by an evaluation and a review of any pertinent material provided to us. This includes medical reports, nutritional evaluations, X-rays, MRI imaging, CT scans, blood work, and DNA results, all of which are reviewed and taken into account to better understand the patient's needs. Once we have decided on how to approach the condition, treatment is initiated.
Detox
This is part of nutritional understanding. Living in Southern California, we are exposed to a variety of toxins. Some come from the air we breathe, and many from the food we eat. By listening to the patient's complaints, reviewing blood work, and analyzing dietary intake, a specifically designed nutritional program can be initiated to help the body eliminate toxins. Options range from simple dietary changes to programs involving temporarily restricted diets with possible nutritional supplementation.
Sports Therapy
Designed to prevent and/or rehab an injury using specific and unique techniques for each individual. A "get better fast" program that everybody can benefit from, regardless of age and agility.
Nutritional Counseling
This very important area is commonly overlooked in injury prevention and injury recovery. Dr. Nilsson stays current on dietary research. He offers nutritional advice to help with illnesses or simply to encourage his patients toward healthier habits. He uses blood work, dietary diaries, DNA findings, and applied kinesiology to gain insight into patients' needs. Most individuals are unaware of their essential nutritional requirements.
Orthotics
Orthotics are custom made shoe inserts designed to correct specific foot imbalances and weight distributions.
Pediatrics
Gentle approach to injuries suffered by our children. Whether your child fell on the playground or got hit on the football field we can assess the injury and design the appropriate course of action.
Posture Evaluation/orthotics
Orthotics can be semi custom or custom. These specific shoe inserts are designed to correct foot imbalances and weight distribution. If there is a misalignment problem with your feet it can cause an altered gait and put abnormal forces and strains on joints from the feet to knees, hips and back. This is a very common cause of shin splints, plantar fasciitis, hip bursitis, runners knee, patella tracking and low back strains. We can make moulds from the patients feet for fully cutom orthotics. However, sometimes existing or storebought orthotics can be modified, to meet your specific needs. These modifications can be made in our office. To determine if orthotic supports are indicated a posture and gate analysis is performed.
Referrals
When dealing with injuries or illnesses, Dr. Nilsson takes a cautious approach. He will, if indicated, refer patients for Xrays, MRIs, lab work and second opinions. His goal is to recognize what is needed, or who the patient needs to see for a speedy recovery.
Chiropractic Sports Therapy Center Dr. Kenneth A. Nilsson
Chiropractic Sports Therapy Center with Dr. Kenneth Nilsson is for
athletes, athletes at heart, and anyone who wants to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Never does one size fit all. We provide individualized care for each patient. Rather than just treating symptoms, we investigate their root causes and offer a variety of innovative and effective treatments, all in a relaxing and caring environment.
Process of Treatment
Techniques
Acupressure
Sometimes called acupuncture without needles, acupressure involves the application of manual pressure to specific points on the body. These points were established according to principles of traditional Chinese medicine. The application of pressure stimulates improved recovery and health.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments and mobilizations are safe and effective ways to relieve pain and promote health. Restricted motion of the spine, pelvis, and extremities is corrected with specific chiropractic adjustments. By facilitating motion we speed up the recovery process.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a diagnostic tool and treatment that uses muscle testing to evaluate a patients best course of action.
Exercise & Stretching
Dr. Nilsson will recommend specific stretches and exercises to patients. In addition, he uses active and passive stretching techniques in his therapy. He also employs the use of Inversion Therapy, Balance Boards, Therabands, Weights, and Exercise Balls etc. For patients who have gym memberships, Dr. Nilsson can recommend specific gym workouts to speed up the patients recovery.
Muscle Relief TECHNIQUE, MRT
This technique is a non-invasive, safe treatment that DR. Nilsson developed to facilitate recovery of soft tissue injuries. Dr. Nilsson evaluates tension, movement and function of muscles, fascias, tendons, ligaments and nerves. He then uses his specific technique to restore and establish normal tissue function.
Diathermy: deep Heating Through The Use Of Soundwaves. Excellent For Larger Muscle Groups.
Ultrasound: involves The Use Of Ultrasonic Waves To Ease The Pain In Joints And Muscles. Very Good For Smaller Areas And For Tendon And Ligament Attachments.
EMT-(Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Used To Reduce Pain Patterns And Muscle Spasms.
Ionto Phoresis: used To Reduce Nerve Pain And Inflammation.
CHIROPRACTIC MOBILIZATION IS A BETTER TERM than adjustment
Supportive Taping
Dr. Nilsson uses different types of tape and taping techniques when treating injuries. One type is called Kinesio tape, a cotton tape with an acrylic adhesive that is used in physical therapy to relax overused muscles and facilitate underused muscles.
Ultrasound Treatment
Ultrasound Therapy involves the use of ultrasonic waves (sound waves of a high frequency), produced by means of mechanical vibration of the metal treatment head of the ultrasound machine, to ease the pain in joints and muscles. Other similar treatments used are Diathermy Treatment and Electro Muscle Stimulation.
