Last week, we had the privilege of having Dr. Kelly Farmer come up to our offices here in Logan, Utah to spend the day with us. He ranks among the top 10 in the world in the field of muscle activation, and works with a range of clients- from professional athletes at the University of Utah, to families who are struggling with different physical ailments.
While he was here, we gave him a tour of our manufacturing facility, and also collaborated on how to combine the therapeutic benefits of the Rezzimax Tuner with the techniques Dr. Farmer uses in his everyday practice. There were some great ideas that came to fruition from this meeting of the minds, and we even got to put some of these concepts into practice as he worked on some of our employees who had various injuries and illnesses!
We've found that working together with other professionals who are pursuing the same outcomes to be mutually beneficial, as it can be an opportunity to learn and expand our understanding of the body's natural ability to heal. We're excited to see what new techniques and uses for the Tuner come to light as a result of working with talented individuals such as Dr. Farmer!
Dr. Kelly Farmer specializes in several different techniques, which include:
Muscle Activation
A technique of evaluating and treating muscle and joint dysfunction that lead to pain, weakness and vulnerability to injury. Once a muscle is found to not be fully working the doctor and chiropractic assistant will stimulate with their fingers neurological acupressure points on nerve endings, organs and the brain to help restore full neurological control. At the end of the therapy session the doctor will make specific adjustments to segments of the spine to relieve pressure from nerve roots and joints.
Regenerative Medicine
A treatment that focuses on repairing damaged areas of the body, and involves injections that support the body’s natural healing response. Regenerative therapies include Prolotherapy, Prolozone®, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections.
Neural Pathway Integration
A therapeutic technique using the principles of muscle activation but to diagnose and treat connections between the brain and other body systems. Communication pathways in the brain may become inhibited due to injury (such as a concussion), stress or illness. This technique helps restore communications in the neural pathways.
Chiropractic Adjustment Procedures
Done by a chiropractor using the hands to apply controlled force to a joint. Adjustments can be used to reposition, restore neurological flow, treat a variety of pain conditions, improve motion and relieve other symptoms.
Scraping
The body will lay down collagen and other building materials with tendons, muscles, and fascia in order to add stability. Sometimes those materials can restrict or bind the fascia and muscles limiting function. Scraping tools are used to break up the restrictions and restore motion back to fascia, tendons and muscles.
Red Light Laser
An Erchonia laser with programmable heads can stimulate organs, nerves, tissue, brain, infections, and many more things. The frequency is programmable and is used to treat or enhance the other treatments.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency (PEMF)
During a PEMF treatment patients lay on a bed which generates an electromagnetic energy field that is used to accelerate healing anything from bone fractures to energizing organs that are struggling.
Dry Needling
Similar to acupuncture with needles, dry needling focuses on muscle knots, spasms, and getting tissue to relax. Small needles are inserted into the muscle, tendon, and knot and then an electrical current is run through them which causes the muscle to relax and the knot to be broken up.
Nasal Specific Technique
A small balloon is inserted into the sinuses and then inflated and deflated fast. This technique is for post concussions or facial trauma. It will open up the sinuses for snoring, sleep apnea, brain fog, ADHD, and a slew of other conditions.
Cupping/Blood Cupping
Cupping is the practice of using suction to loosen bound areas and pull toxins to the surface of the skin. In blood cupping puncturing the skin allows the toxins to be removed through the skin.
