Do you ever feel like one leg is longer than the other?

Do you ever feel like your hips/pelvis is imbalanced?

Do you have one leg that is stronger than your other leg?

Chances are you just have some dysfunction occurring in the hips/pelvis/SI joint. As part of our chiropractic examination, we do a leg length checks that give us an indication on what may be causing your pain or imbalances.

Most cases of SI joint dysfunction can be treated with chiropractic adjustments mixed with complementary therapies such as electric muscle stimulation, cold laser therapy, and myofascial release. The goal is to release muscle spasms, decrease inflammation, and restore normal function to the muscles.

If you need to get "straightened out" and think you could benefit from chiropractic treatments, give us a call at 408-866-2027 or send us a DM to schedule an appointment with Dr. Ponce de Leon.

The ArthroStim adjusting tool is a chiropractic instrument commonly used by chiropractors as an alternative to manual adjustments. It's a handheld device designed to deliver controlled and precise thrusts to specific areas of the spine or joints.

The ArthroStim is often used to perform what's known as "low-force" or "instrument-assisted" chiropractic adjustments.

The device works by delivering a rapid series of gentle impulses to the targeted area. These impulses stimulate proprioceptors (sensory receptors in the muscles, tendons, and joints), which can help relax muscles, improve joint mobility, and encourage realignment.

Chiropractors who use the ArthroStim often find it useful for treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more. The controlled and precise nature of the device allows chiropractors to perform adjustments with minimal force, making it a preferred choice for patients who may be uncomfortable with manual adjustments or have specific conditions that benefit from a gentler approach.

What does Spinal Decompression do?

Spinal disc injuries are caused by a physical compression or deformation of the inner part of the disc (nucleus pulposus). Any deformation can create an impingement onto the surrounding spinal nerves. In order to treat the root cause of the pain, we can apply a gentle pull or traction that precisely targets the injured level of the spine.

Notice the split in the middle of the table at the low back. The table actually opens up allowing for a stretch to be applied to the back. Tension is applied vertically along the spine to open the spaces between each vertebrae and create a negative pressure within the disc to rehydrate the disc and improve the quality of the disc.

If you have suffered from:
Spinal disc bulge/ herniations
Spinal stenosis
Spinal disc degeneration
Facet arthrosis
Sciatica
Peripheral Neuropathy

Then Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy may be the best option for you. Give us a call at 408-866-2027 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ponce de Leon or send us a message in the DMs and we will get back to you right away.
