Our integrated approach addresses the root causes of your symptoms, promoting optimal well-being and improved mobility. We aim to correct the problem and provide relief.
Chiropractic Therapies and Treatments
We offer personalized treatment plans so you can regain control of your health and enjoy a life without limitations.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our doctors perform precise spinal adjustments by hand, applying controlled manual pressure to realign the vertebrae, restore mobility, and reduce inflammatory pain signals.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
State-of-the-art computerized equipment provides gentle, motorized traction and positioning to create space between vertebrae, taking pressure off pinched nerves.
Active Release Technique
We use a patented, proven system for identifying and breaking down scar tissue around muscles, tendons, and nerves that limit the range of motion and function.
Graston Technique
Specially designed instruments help All American Medical effectively detect and break apart fascial scar tissue, causing restricted movement in muscles and joints while stimulating healing blood flow.
Sciatica Pain Treatment
Customized non-surgical treatments such as spinal adjustments, spinal decompression, soft tissue mobilization and therapeutic exercises relieve compressed sciatic nerves
Kinesio Taping
All American Medical’s certified specialists apply specialized, latex-free tape in therapeutic patterns, providing muscle and joint support while allowing a full range of motion during activities.
Covington Massage Therapy
Massage therapists use Swedish and medical massage techniques on soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This increases circulation, reduces muscle tension, and loosens limited joints.
Car Accident Chiropractor
Multi-disciplinary care plans address common accident injuries like whiplash, concussions, and back and neck pain without drugs or invasive surgery.
Physical Therapy
We develop personalized exercise programs and provide hands-on care through techniques like manual therapy and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization.
What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a noninvasive, drug-free physical medicine practice focusing on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Our skilled chiropractors in Covington and Hammond use manual adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to correct misalignments in the spine and other joints, which can cause pain, inflammation, and other health problems.
The practice of chiropractic medicine was founded in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer, who performed the first adjustment and established the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Iowa. Despite initial opposition from the medical establishment, chiropractic grew in popularity throughout the 20th century.
As the profession developed, laws were passed to regulate and standardize chiropractic education and practice. Today, chiropractic is a widely accepted and respected form of healthcare.
