Today, we’ll explore her path to chiropractic, her passion for tackling chronic pain, and how her unique blend of skills and shockwave therapy expertise can offer renewed hope for individuals who’ve struggled with pain management. Dive in to learn more about how we’re building a team focused on patient-first care, and how Dr. Lacina’s specialized experience might be just what you need to find lasting relief.
The Path to Chiropractic: Healing Beyond Traditional Medicine
For Dr. Lacina, chiropractic care wasn’t just a career choice; it was a calling that emerged from a personal journey. Initially on the path to medical school, she pivoted to chiropractic after experiencing firsthand the powerful impact chiropractic adjustments had on chronic ear pain in her youth. This transformative experience led her to prioritize natural, patient-focused healing. As she explains, “Chiropractic felt right in a way that traditional medicine never did.”
Chiropractic Care with a Neuromuscular Focus
Unlike approaches that address symptoms only, chiropractic care focuses on neuromusculoskeletal function – the critical pathways between nerves, muscles, and bones. Misalignment, subluxation, or nerve impingements can disrupt these pathways, leading to pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Dr. Lacina’s goal is to address these issues at their root, providing patients with improved movement, pain relief, and an enhanced quality of life.
Collaborative Care: The Power of Integrated Therapies
At Unpain Clinic, we believe that no single practitioner can do it all. From her first encounters with our team, Dr. Lacina saw the benefits of shockwave therapy, a unique offering she hadn’t found in other clinics. After sending a patient for shockwave treatment and seeing them return with newfound movement and pain relief, she knew this approach could transform care for those with unresolved pain. “I send my most complex, chronic cases here because I know they’ll get help where other treatments have failed,” she says.
Why Shockwave Therapy Complements Chiropractic Care
Shockwave therapy reaches areas that manual therapy can’t always access. It works by delivering high-energy sound waves that help break up scar tissue, stimulate blood flow, and accelerate healing. For chronic pain sufferers, combining this therapy with chiropractic adjustments can open new pathways to pain relief and functionality, even for those whose injuries date back years.
Addressing the Challenges of Chronic Pain and Scar Tissue
Scar tissue is a common yet often overlooked issue that complicates healing. Following surgery or injury, scar tissue can form in affected areas, causing long-term pain and restriction. Unfortunately, traditional treatments often fall short in addressing these “hidden injuries,” but shockwave therapy can help release and heal this scar tissue.
As Dr. Lacina explains, “Scar tissue feels like an insult to the body. Even after the original injury heals, that tissue holds memory and creates limitations.” By releasing the fascia, scar tissue, and underlying restrictions, shockwave therapy offers a new level of healing, enabling the body to respond better to chiropractic care and other treatments.
Holistic Care for Challenging Cases: Concussions, TMJ, and More
Dr. Lacina’s expertise includes not only general chiropractic care but also a specialization in concussions and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. These issues demand a nuanced approach, as they involve complex structures and require careful management to achieve full recovery. “It’s like untying a knot,” she says. “With each layer we address, the patient finds more stability and comfort.”
Choosing a Team That Puts Patients First
At Unpain Clinic, we’re committed to prioritizing our patients’ needs above all. This means that if we can’t help a patient directly, we’ll connect them with the right professional who can. Our goal is to empower patients by providing treatments that support long-term health and wellness, not just short-term fixes.
