Services and Techniques

       
      At Liberty Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients.     
      Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Edmonton office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Timothy Sharp has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment and is continually upgrading his knowledge.

At Liberty Chiropractic our massage therapists help retrain old negative holding patterns in the muscles that have shortened from stress, overuse or bad posture.  Therapeutic massage helps to rid the body of toxins and lactic acid.  This is done by manually draining the lymphatic system and allowing the lymphatics to aid the body in its fight against chronic inflammation, viruses, bacteria, and other diseases.

Spinal decompression therapy is a beneficial treatment at Liberty Chiropractic that has improved the quality and effectiveness of the care we offer. Distraction and inversion of the spine pulls water and nutrients into the spinal discs in order to regain disc space, decrease pain, and increase mobility. People that haven't been helped by other forms of treatment, even those with failed spinal surgeries, are getting relief from this therapy. Decompression allows us to assist with even the most difficult problems such as,
                                  herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, muscle spasm and even swelling.

 Erchonia® Laser Technology

 Laser Technology is designed to effectively target muscles and tissues and promote natural healing. Low-level lasers stimulate the   body’s light-sensitive components to produce an effect similar to photosynthesis in plants — the cells’ mitochondria are stimulated,   encouraging the cell to produce more ATP naturally.

Red Laser:

With Erchonia’s handheld red laser treatment, you get more than just a typical cold laser. We can now treat more conditions with
a single device and create a more personalized treatment regimen for you. The Erchonia red laser, operating at a wavelength of
635nm, has been proven effective in relieving chronic pain such as neck and shoulder pain. The healing properties of red laser
pain treatments provide patients with a safer, healthier alternative to drugs and corrective surgery.

Violet Laser:

With Erchonia's handheld violet laser treatment, you get the versatility of a red and violet wavelength taking outcomes to a whole new level. The violet is also shown to be effective with its anti-bacterial & anti-microbial properties. The red laser diode provides temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain, while the violet diode is used to treat infections and skin conditions.

 

Green Laser:

With Erchonia's handheld green laser treatment, you get a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of green light to promote healing and alleviate various ailments. This is currently the first and only green wavelength laser FDA cleared. It uses the green and violet diodes simultaneously, for coordinated use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain, while the violet diode also can work on infections and skin conditions.

Shockwave treatments uses acoustic pulses to treat certain muscolo-skeletal disorders. It is a well-studied and commonly used treatment modality for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. A shockwave is an intense, but very short energy wave traveling faster than the speed of sound. Therapy sessions are short, provide successful relief of chronic pain, are able to restore mobility and have no side effects, while being at a reasonable cost. Conditions that can be treated by shockwave therapy with an outstanding
                                   75% - 95% success rate are Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, Scar tissue, Tennis elbow, Jumpers knee, Rotator
                                   cuff tendinitis, Stress fractures, Non-healing ulcers. It is clinically proven that pressure waves, when applied to injured tissues,
                                   stimulate metabolic reactions: Reduction of pain felt by nerve fibers, increase of blood circulation in surrounding soft tissues and
                                   beginning of healing process triggered by stem cells activation.              

The EMS DolorClast® Radial Shock Waves is 3x more powerful at 15Hz than other devices. The higher the total of the energy density is, the better the treatment outcomes will be. our machine delivers up to 200% more energy density than competing devices at frequencies of 15 Hz and above and maximum pressure.The EMS DolorClast® Radial Shock Waves sold over 13,000 units and
                                  treated more than 100 Million patients worldwide. Made in Switzerland, it is the best device amongst competition.

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most.

Nutritional Counseling  

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health.  Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for "you"?  Dr. Timothy Sharp can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Spinal & postural screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being.  At Liberty Chiropractic, we have the tools available to assess your posture and to help you improve it.
