TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY

Anti-Gravity Treadmill

Originally conceived by Dr. Robert Whalen to design effective exercise regimens for NASA’s astronauts, Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology has been adapted by AlterG for use in training and rehabilitation. Cleared by the FDA in 2008, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a medical device that can be used for:

Rehabilitation of lower extremity injuries
Treatment of neurological conditions
Weight reduction
Aerobic conditioning
General training to combat the diseases of aging

Unweighting is achieved in the AlterG by using air in a pressure-controlled chamber to gently lift the user. Precise calibration using our patented technology allows for very specific unweighting from 20%-100% of the users body weight in 1% increments. This is something no other unweighting modality can do. Clinical studies show that these treadmills can help decrease ground reaction forces in walking and running. The restoration of normal gait mechanics is paramount to optimal recovery and can be accelerated by our patented unweighting technology. At Georgia Sports Chiropractic we use the Alter G Anti Gravity Treadmill to allow runners with many lower extremity injuries to continue training for their goal races while they heal. Additionally, many runners and triathletes use the Alter G to get an extra long run or workout in without getting all the normal impact that beats up their legs and body. The Alter G is used by many professional runners and top collegiate teams and is now available for use by the general public.

Available packages:

$0.75 per minute to run on
Discounts available with the purchase of multiple session packages. Insurance can be billed in many cases.

*Patient needs to/is required to have a 30 minute evaluation with a Dr to assess the reasons for running on the Alter G.

PNEUMATIC COMPRESSION

The NormaTec MVP (“Most Valuable Pump”) is an FDA-cleared, state-of-the-art Pneumatic Compression Device. Multi-segment inflatable boots or sleeves are placed around the limbs and rhythmically inflated and deflated to carefully prescribed pressures. Stagnant fluid in the affected limb is promptly mobilized via the patented Peristaltic Pulse pneumatic waveform.

Recovering from demanding workouts, injuries and surgery has just gotten a lot easier and a lot less painful. The NormaTec MVP provides pulsating dynamic compression to your legs and/or arms to reduce swelling, muscle fatigue, and stiffness — allowing you to recover faster, train harder, and perform better.

Used by top Pro and College athletes, the NormaTec MVP is easily customizable for the individual athlete with user-friendly controls to allow for both general workout recovery and to focus treatment on specific areas.

DEEP OSCILLATION THERAPY

Deep oscillation therapy with the HIVAMAT 200 Evident is a unique therapeutic treatment for chiropractic care that is FDA-approved for pain relief, muscle relaxation, and increasing circulation, which are important factors that aid in the body’s natural recovery process.

Muscle Relaxation

Deep oscillation therapy is felt as a gentle vibration within the tissues, relaxing the underlying muscles, making soft tissues more pliable for effective adjustments.

Pain Relief

By reducing pain, the conscious and subconscious stimuli causing muscle guarding is reduced, allowing patients to return to their normal daily living activities, including exercise and recreation.

Pain Relief

The massaging effect created by the oscillations within the patient’s tissues work to open pathways and increase the flow of blood and nutrients throughout the body, helping to restore tissue health.

Perfect for acute sprains (shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle), acute muscle strains, and recovery from microtrauma and repetitive strain/sprain.

Pressure Wave Therapy

Pressure Wave therapy is a highly effective treatment method: high-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body. It is one of the most advanced and highly effective noninvasive treatment methods cleared by the FDA. The treatment works by helping to improve the regenerative potential, enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue.

TESTIMONIALS

"Dr. Josh Glass is an invaluable resource to both myself as a coach and to the athletes that I work with. Whether it is helping an individual to return to full training as soon as possible, analyzing biomechanical aspects, providing informative consultation for an accurate diagnosis or offering a preventative approach to proper stretching and recovery, Dr. Glass’ input is golden."

"I've been going to see Dr. Eng (Norm) for several years (maybe 1-2x every 4-6 months). I almost had surgery on my shoulder before I met him. Saved me a TON OF $ by fixing my shoulder without surgery. He's been my go-to guy ever since and has helped numerous clients of mine heal from prior injuries or chronic pain so they can keep training. Arguably the best in the business and won't go any where else. Thanks for keeping me and my clients healthy Norm!"

“I am Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete, 2-times World Champion, ADCC Submission Wrestling World Open Division Champion and hold also other titles. All these titles were great accomplishments, however I constantly put my body in a lot of pressure, more than usual, to be number one. I am very thankful for everything that Dr. Josh Glass has done for the past 10 years. He is “THE ONE” that always bring my body back to its ideal state, after all my intense training sessions so I can get back in the game. He always knows exactly how to fix whatever discomfort I am feeling. I recommend Dr. Josh Glass to every single person, athlete or non- athlete, he is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work. In my opinion, he is one of the best

"Dr. Eng has been excellent throughout my entire time at Georgia Sports Chiropractic. As an avid runner, I have experienced injuries in my knee, calf and hamstring. Dr. Eng has guided me through treatment, both in clinic and at home, allowing me to continue training while building muscle to repair those injuries. He has a clear understanding of my needs and how to prevent injuries. His support and expertise are like no other!"
