A chiropractic adjustment is a non-invasive manual therapy procedure in which the chiropractor applies a force to a joint in a specific direction, speed and intensity. The primary goal of an adjustment is to decrease pain, increase motion in a joint and also decrease muscle tightness or spasm.
Dr. Steve Pelletier is certified in a specialized medical acupuncture technique named functional integrated acupuncture. This technique uses dry needling, intramuscular stimulation and traditional acupuncture points. Functional integrated acupuncture targets anatomical structures that are the underlying cause of musculoskeletal conditions.
Dr. Steve Pelletier uses different hands-on modalities to treat sports injuries. However, his main goal is to find the root of the problem and to prevent the progression or re-occurrence of those injuries through the use of corrective exercises.
Graston technique is an innovative approach to the treatment of muscles, tendons and ligaments. The technique is performed with stainless steel instruments designed to detect and treat scar tissue build up or chronic inflammation. This technique helps to reduce pain and increase range of motion.
Kinesiotaping is a taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints. It does so without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft-tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of administered treatments.
Prescription orthotics look similar to insoles but are custom made to correct your specific feet imbalances. Properly made orthotics help restore the normal balance and alignment of your body by gently bringing your feet back to a neutral position. Orthotics may help prevent and treat localized foot pain, bunions, hammer toes, arch pain, heel pain, leg pain, knee pain, hip or back pain.
Dr. Steve Pelletier is a chiropractor and educator. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Moncton in New Brunswick, where he competed as a varsity athlete in cross-country and track and field. In 2005, he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto.
Dr. Pelletier specializes in treating sports and overuse injuries. His approach emphasizes a thorough examination to diagnose the specific injury and identify its underlying causes. Based on this evaluation, he develops individualized treatment plans designed to promote rapid recovery using the most effective methods available. His diverse treatment options include chiropractic adjustments, muscle treatment techniques, contemporary medical acupuncture, sports taping, kinesiology taping, and custom orthotics. To prevent recurrence, he also prescribes targeted rehabilitation exercises.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Pelletier is an accomplished educator. He is a part-time professor at the University of Ottawa, where he teaches courses in sports injury, functional anatomy, and injury prevention. He also frequently delivers continuing education seminars to professionals, including registered massage therapists, kinesiologists, personal trainers, nurses, and chiropractors.
