Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Thearpy (P.E.M.F Therapy)

Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field, or PEMF, is a type of therapy that re-energizes aging or damaged cells by inducing electrical changes within the cell.

The human body produces complex electrical activity in several different types of cells, including neurons, endocrine, and muscle cells. As a result of this activity a magnetic field is created.

As we age, get sick or encounter injuries this cellular communication is broken down. PEMF therapy helps boost and restore the cellular communication. As a result, the following changes can happen

Faster healing time for bone fractures and soft tissue injures (muscle, ligament, tendon)

Range of motion is increased

Energy to the cells are increased

Oxygen carrying capacity is increased

Circulation in improved

Cellular metabolism is boosted

Uptake of nutrients is increased

Pain is reduced

Stiffness is reduced

Swelling is reduced

Inflammation is reduced

Edema is reduced

Spasms are reduced

Stress is reduced

Bruises are reduced

Contusions are reduced

These are just SOMEbenefits of Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field Therapy. To learn more about this therapy give us a call (818) 571-6717.

EB-Pro Ionic Detoxification Therapy

EB stand for Energy Balancing. The EB-Pro ion therapy system was designed to enhance your body’s natural detoxification process. This device utilizes direct current to create an electromagnetic ionic field in which the patient places their feet in an aqueous salt and mineral solution to increase energy and the positively charged cellular activity through the attached array. Water molecules that pass through the array are split causing the ionic field. The ions are created in two ways. First as the direct current is passed through the water via three metals, the hydrogen and oxygen will separate creating ions. Secondly the softer metals will electronically erode causing further ionization; the ion field can be primarily positive or negative depending upon the electrical polarity going through the array.

As a person is brought near the array the only thing they are exposed to is a low intensity ion field. By immersing your feet in the water you will enable an electrical contact with all the primary meridians in the body. Change charge density, and you will change the geometry, releasing trapped molecules. Changing the local charge configuration will release material that is ionically bound. The meridians are one of several pathways for toxins released to exit the body. Capillaries and lymphatic channels will also pick up toxins and carry them to the liver and kidneys, where they will be detoxified/or excreted.

Percussor and Adjustor

Percussor (top picture): The Percussor is a vibration device that helps unwind scar tissue, reduces adhesion's and increases the range of motion. 

Adjustor (bottom picture): This is a low forced mechanized adjusting tool which aids in joint mobilization. This device is very effective for young children, the elderly and people who do not like the traditional "crack" that is associated with a chiropractic adjustment.

Foot Levelers Custom Orthotics

Your body is a functional system connected together with specialized parts. The foundation that supports the weight of the entire body is your feet. Feet move us, shock-absorb stress, adapt to different terrains, and provide balance. Your feet give stability to perform everyday activities for your lifestyle. 

Each foot contains three arches. Most orthotics support only one arch. When only one arch is being supported the problem shifts to another part of the body. 

Foot Levelers functional orthotics support all three arches of your feet, which are interconnected to form the plantar vault. Improving the foundation of your body will bring long-term alignment to your feet, knees, hips, pelvis and spine.

Corrective Exercises

At Advanced Sports Chiropractic, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.

Lifestyle Advice

Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.

Nutritional Counseling

What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At our Westlake Village chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.

Spinal & Postural Screenings

There is a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings by a trained and experienced chiropractor such as Dr. Amir Mahmud can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the Westlake Village community, we provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today at (818) 571-6717 to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
