Services
At Tessendorf Chiropractic we take great pride in treating neck and back pain, along with other joint related problems. We evaluate and treat patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly. Our office has been serving Columbus and surrounding communities for over 20 years, and we have strong collaborative relationships with many MD's, PT's, Orthopedic and Spine physicians in the area.
High school, college and professional athletes are increasingly turning to chiropractic care to help them relieve pain and stay fit. Many athletes in the Columbus area seek chiropractic care on their own initiative. However, there is a growing trend for schools and professional teams to either have a direct relationship with a chiropractic physician or have one on their medical staff.
Value: Heat application helps relax tight muscles, and increases blood flow and nutrition to the area, which can help speed healing once the initial inflammation has subsided. It also helps the muscles and tendons respond better to being stretched and exercised. This treatment should feel like a gentle warmth, never hot or burning.
The use of cold in therapy, or cryotherapy, is often applied to a new injury or a recently re-injured old injury to decrease pain, muscle spasm, and swelling. Ice slows blood flow to the injured area and minimizes damage done by interrupted circulation. Ice is the safest and most effective way of treating sprains, strains, muscle spasm, and bruises.
What should I use for my pain, heat or ice? This is one of the more common questions I hear from patients with acute or chronic pain. Here is some of the latest research and methods on using heat and ice from the Journal of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine. Ice or cold therapy is used immediately and up to 72 hours following a new injury.
