What is the importance of the toggle adjustment?

Aligning the first and second bones in the neck is a toggle adjustment. Aligning those neck bones can improve nervous system function. Your brain stem runs through the middle of these two bones. When the neck bones are out of alignment it can create pressure on the brainstem. These are some issues that can happen from misalignment. Tingling hands, headaches, neck pain, limited range of motion and muscle tension. Setting these neck bones back in place can reset the nervous system.

How does a muscle become reactivated?

To re-activate a muscle, our doctors and therapists use a technique by applying pressure to the attachments of the injured muscle. This involves stimulating key reflex points. The doctor stimulates these points to get the muscles to re-fire. This takes the load off the muscles that are in pain. When the therapy is done, the doctor will reassess the injured muscle to ensure it is reactivated. If there is strength, the muscle has been effectively restored and the pain is minimized or gone.

How often do I need to schedule treatments and how many muscles should I schedule each time?

The treatment process is individual. The patient and the doctor determine a treatment plan based on the report of findings. At each appointment, the doctor or therapist will discuss how much of the prescribed treatment has been done. The units of therapy take approximately five minutes. We are able to do a maximum of six units of therapy per session. After the full treatment the patient will move to a maintenance plan. This is a check up appointment every four to five weeks which helps prevent future injuries.

To feel pain free does every muscle need to be reactivated?

Pain is the body’s natural alarm system. This tells us which areas need attention and care. Our A.M.I.T.® treatment addresses these alarms to provide stability and strength. Through treatment, we can increase your range of motion and function. During the process of treatment, you may notice that pain in one area lessens and another area feels worse. This guides us to the muscle area that needs attention and we find the next muscle group that is unstable. By balancing muscles, we can help you get to a pain-free life. Each unit of therapy should provide some relief. The pain won’t go away in the first treatment. Not all the muscles need to be reactivated for pain to ease up. You may be pain free and still have muscles that need to be treated. It is important to follow the treatment plan so no further injuries happen.

Which order are muscles reactivated?

At each visit, the doctor will find the areas of instability and treat those areas. Each person is individual and the body will lead us to which muscle needs treatment next. Each person has individual accidents and injuries. This makes it impossible to have a one-size-fits all in the muscle treatment process.

How is this different than regular chiropractic?

AMIT is an advanced technique that utilizes chiropractic care as well as many other diciplines.

What happens when all of the muscles are reactivated?

Our primary focus is not only to treat existing pain but also to predict and prevent injuries. Once the doctor has addressed all the muscle imbalances, a re-exam will take place. This will tell us whether the muscles have held the treatment and if not, the doctor will recommend some supplemental support to help those muscles stay firing. Patients should schedule regular wellness/maintenance appointments. In this way, we can predict issues before they develop injuries. Patients on wellness care schedule regular A.M.I.T. appointments to correct instabilities that arise. A good schedule is every four to five weeks. These appointments are essential for maintaining optimal muscle health and preventing future injuries. This is important to be able to continue to enjoy a pain-free, active lifestyle.
