At Cosh Chiropractic Care & Wellness Center, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic treatment to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services and techniques we offer in our Redding office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction and range of motion improvement 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. Christina Cosh has over 13 years of training and experience in spinal adjustments. 

IN-OFFICE TECHNIQUES:

• Manual Chiropractic Adjusting (also known as the Palmer or Diversified methodology)
• Prenatal Chiropractic Adjusting - combination or variation on several techniques throughout the pregnancy depending on the comfort level of the mother and how the body progresses through the pregnancy.The same approach is used with children in our practice.
  
• Activator Technique (Gentle instrumentation tool used for those who don't like popping or pushing!)This is a very popular technique with the children!
  
• Impulse I.Q. (an Advanced Activator Technique calibrated to provide the most effective spinal mobilization for different aged patients and body types)  
• Pelvic Blocking and Mobilization
• Drop Table Technique (helpful for patients who can't tolerate low back rotation)
• Leander Traction Technique (A Mechanical Flexion Distraction table used to minimize disc bulges in the low back and effective on slowing scoliotic change in young children) 
• Accupressure and Trigger Point Therapy
• Spinal & Postural Modification recommendations

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. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

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?

Whether you are an elite athlete with high performance requirements or are stressed from home or job responsibilites, Dr. Christina Cosh can review your nutritional program and make recommendations based on your individual needs.

• Electrical Muscle Stimulation (TENS)  - Used to reduce muscle spasms
