a Non-Surgical, Safe and Effective Way to Manage Many Pain Conditions

CZL Active Care is a unique integrative multi-disciplinary treatment approach for back pain, arthritis and common activity related pain conditions.   It is a personalized multidisciplinary therapeutic approach that integrates the disciplines of orthopedics, movement kinesiology, postural biomechanics, myofascial release manipulation therapy, specific joint manipulation therapy, physical therapies, acupuncture, bio-energetic micro-current therapy, nutrigenomics, neurologic balance training and rehabilitation exercise to restore function, reduce disability and improve quality of life.

The Integrative Physical Treatment approach includes:

1) ORTHOPEDIC, POSTURAL AND MUSCULOSKELETAL PHYSICAL EVALUATION:  
A thorough pain history daily activity history and a neuro-musculoskeletal examination to find the source of pain.  Pain can come from joints, muscles, nerves, tendons or ligaments.  Proper care requires identifying which structures have been injured. 

2) NATURAL MANAGEMENT OF INFLAMMATION
Natural ways to help control inflammation without OTC drugs involves a combination of plant botanicals, enzymes, therapeutic cold, rest and electro-acupuncture.

3) SUPPORT FOR COLLAGEN REPAIR AND TISSUE REGENERATION
Specific nutritional and botanical support along with bio-energetic frequency specific micro-current and light
wavelength therapy helps to accelerate healing and improve recovery.

4) MANUAL THERAPIES TO RESTORE MOVEMENT & BALANCE
Manual joint manipulation and soft tissue myo-fascial therapy is applied when inflammation processes have reduced and are designed to gently help re-establish full mobility to the injured region.  Research has shown that manual manipulation not only helps to restore mobility but also stimulates a quicker healing response from injury.  Many different types of manipulation procedures are used depending on the structures causing pain.

Types of Manual Manipulation:
Spinal Manipulation for Vertebral Subluxation Complex
The VSC is a condition of the spine which follows an injury and involves a complex of abnormal spinal joint movement, nerve irritation, muscle spasm and tissue degeneration which can lead to a condition of spinal arthritis if not resolved properly.

Spinal Inter-Vertebral Decompression Manipulation for Spinal Compression Syndrome, SCS. 
SCS is a condition of mechanical compression of the spinal facet joints, discs and nerves which commonly develops from poor posture and prolonged periods of sitting or bending.  This manipulation involves a gentle traction to each vertebrae to decompress the compressed spinal structures. This helps to reduce pain and prevent the risk of future injury to the spine and a VSC condition of the spine.

Extremity Joint Manipulation 
This manipulation is applied to the extremity joints of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot to help reduce pain, stiffness, lack of mobility, arthritis and injuries to these joints.

Soft Tissue Myo-fascial Release Manual Manipulation 
Soft tissue manipulation is applied to muscles, tendons and ligaments that have been injured to reduce pain, release scar tissue and restore elasticity and movement.

5) NEURO-MUSCULAR TRAINING FOR RE-EDUCATION OF MOVEMENTS
Proprioceptive training to establish balance to posture and movement.

6) REHABILITATION EXERCISES TO STABILIZE AND STRENGTHEN  
Therapeutic exercises designed to help restore full capacity & body function.

An integrative active care approach is an effective advanced natural solution to manage chronic pain due to arthritis & soft tissue injuries. This revolutionary integrative approach can help reduce pain, support faster healing and help restore your activity level!
