Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Treatment Manhattan - Specific Chiropractic Care That Works
Searching for chiropractic treatment for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) in Manhattan? You're in good hands. Together with lifestyle changes, I offer specialized EDS chiropractic care applying the Gonstead method, which is precise and gentle. Unlike most chiropractors who work on hypermobile joints, my approach focuses on connective tissue disorders.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome comes with chronic pain, hypermobile joint difficulties, frequent dislocations, and the dislocation dread. Conventional treatments can be touchy, and I understand that worry. My practice is centered around providing safe and effective care that lets EDS patients regain stability, reduce pain, and reclaim their lives.
Why Choose Specialized EDS Treatment?
Because of a lack of training, hypermobile patients remain under the care of their general chiropractor. High velocity techniques leave already loose joints prone to instability, heightening the risk of pain and injury. My approach works completely differently – for the better.
Gentle Gonstead Technique
I incorporate the well-known Gonstead technique which practices controlled adjustments instead of blunt force manipulation. Because of this precision approach, I am able to hypertarget issue areas without injuring hypermobile joints.
Comprehensive Assessment
All EDS patients undergo a comprehensive assessment which includes systematic joint mobility assessments, posture analysis, and gross movement screening to identify unstable versus overly restricted structures.
Individualized Treatment Plans
With EDS, every patient presents differently. You will receive a treatment plan based on your type of EDS, symptom burden, and personal objectives.
Safety-First Philosophy
I emphasize the stability over the mobility of a joint. My objective is to fortify the structures supporting the joint as opposed to the range of motion.
Ongoing Education
You will be taught specific movements, positions, and habits to optimize your care between appointments.
My Proven Process for EDS Treatment
Initial Comprehensive Consultation
In the first visit, I perform an in-depth 90-minute evaluation, which includes a thorough chiropractic examination. I will gather your entire medical history, prior interventions, current symptoms, and issues you face daily.
Comprehensive Analysis of Movement
Your movement patterns as well as compensations associated with joint hypermobility are assessed using specialized techniques. I utilize this assessment to identify underlying factors that contribute to pain and instability.
Personalized Treatment Plan
I develop a specific treatment plan that has gentle Gonstead adjustments, joint stabilization interventions along with a customized exercise regimen. Every intervention for your conditioning is made keeping hypermobility in focus.
Ongoing Management and Monitoring
Progress in follow-up treatments is augmented with constant evaluation of hypermobility response and alteration to technique and intensity. Technique modification and intensity adjustments are made based on how your body responds.
Daily Life and Exercise Incorporation
Arguably the most important aspect, I empower you with strategies to modify daily activities, joint safeguard maneuvers, as well as perform exercises targeting muscle groups adversely impacted allowing support for your hypermobile joints.
Manhattan EDS Patients Specialized Services
Chiropractic Gonstead Adjustments
Patients with EDS benefit greatly from the Gonstead technique as it focuses more on precision than brute force. With targeted hand hold positions and calibrated movements, I can relieve joint restrictions while maintaining stability in hypermobile areas. This preserves function as the full range of motion isn't needed to achieve optimal movement.
Stabilization Techniques for Joints
Alongside providing routine chiropractic adjustments, each patient receives additional strategies to help support overarching joint control. Some techniques that I use are gentle traction, proprioceptive control training, as well as muscle group activation techniques specific to the patient such as controllable exercises tailored to assist with managing hypermobile joints.
Posture Therapy
Patients with hypermobile EDS types typically develop posture habits that predispose them to slumping due to increased strain in already weak connective tissues worsening their joints. With my assistance, we are able to diagnose these habits and modify them through targeted movements and changes in the immediate surroundings.
Exercise Reprogramming
For patients with EDS or other rheumatological disorders, traditional exercising systems may prove harmful. I have designed bespoke, safe workouts that build coordination and stability of the supporting muscles while avoiding uncontrolled joint movements to protect against hyperextension. As part of this process, you'll learn how to minimize certain movements while optimizing others to achieve ideal results.
EDS Pain Protocols
In addition to your chiropractic care, I provide elementary positioning techniques, heat and cold therapy protocols, as well as stress management techniques to complement your chiropractic care, yielding powerful results for EDS pain.
Investment in Your Health
I have structured prices within my office policies that provide great value for a patient who understands the importance of investing in their future health.
Initial Comprehensive Consultation
I offer a full 90 minute session which encompasses intense evaluation and designing a personalized treatment algorithm alongside the first gentle treatment session. Each participant receives appropriate education on their current state and informed next steps.
Follow-up Sessions
Treatment sessions are priced according to their intricacy and the time taken to complete. Simple maintenance visits begin at $80, and comprehensive treatment sessions go up to $140. The majority of patients tend to have sessions priced between $100-$120.
Payment Options
I do not accept insurance payments due to the fact that the majority of policies do not cover the specialized, extended care EDS patients need, yet I do provide flexible payment methods and issue detailed receipts that clients can use for HSA/FSA reimbursement.
Manhattan Regions I Cover
Because my practice is situated in Midtown Manhattan, patients suffering from EDS are able to easily reach my office. I see patients from:
Why Traditional Approaches Often Fail EDS Patients
Practitioners when lacking experience with hypermobility disorders can make several mistakes due to the nature of the condition. Common errors include:
- Using high-force adjustments that destabilize joints
- Stretching exercises that promote hypermobility
- Range of Motion exercises prioritizing coordination over stability
- Ignoring signs and symptoms regarding mobility as "hyper mobility"
- Ignoring the systemic features of connective tissue disorders
My approach strongly avoids these pitfalls. EDS patients have unique characteristics and require alternative methods.
What Makes My Approach Different
Evidence-Based Methods
I track upcoming research on EDS and hypermobility disorders, including emerging evidence into treatment protocols.
Collaborative Care
I integrate with your existing healthcare practitioners like rheumatologists, geneticists, and physical therapists to provide streamlined healthcare.
Long-term Perspective
I focus on teaching proper self-management rather than offering quick fixes.
Gentle Philosophy
Every technique is adapted for hypermobile joints to ensure comfort and safety while achieving results.
Education Focus
Informing patients results in more favorable outcomes, so I allocate significant time teaching you about your condition and how to shield your joints.
