Spinal Decompression
Have back or neck pain? Then Spinal Decompression therapy will not only relieve the pain source, but will treat the underlying cause. The Decompression therapy table creates a negative pressure inside the injured or inflamed disc, letting it retract naturally, thus relieving disc pressure on spinal nerves.
Cold Laser Treatment
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has demonstrated the ability to significantly accelerate and enhance the body′s natural defenses and repair components in the presence of injury, inflammation, neck pain, low back pain, and certain disease processes.
Manual Manipulation
Manual Manipulation is done to increase joint movement at the segmental spinal level. This will further help with a reduction in pain, however it may also assist in less degenerative changes developing hopefully, to the affected joints in the future. This is a very gentle procedure and is usually without pain.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a form of deep heat therapy created by sound waves. When applied to soft tissues and joints, the sound waves are a form of micro-massage that help reduce swelling, increase blood flow, and decrease pain, stiffness, and relaxes muscle spasms. As well as being highly effective in treating calcium deposits, reduces nerve root irritation, massages damaged tissues and speeds the healing process.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is amongst the oldest therapeutic practices in the world and has been practiced in Asian countries for thousands of years. Acupuncture is considered to be one of the key components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is utilized as a tool to reinstate and preserve health through stimulation of precise points in the body.
Intersegmental Traction-IST
Intersegmental Traction-IST, when used in conjunction with the chiropractic adjustment, loosens the locked up joints and gives passive motion exercise and therapy that feed the disc between the vertebrae. This helps to return flexibility, elasticity, and preservation to that all-important disc space which protects the opening for the spinal nerve. Patients have described the feeling of IST therapy as the “magic fingers” approach to back care. IST increases joint range of motion along with decreasing pain and muscle spasms. This is a very good therapy for people suffering from upper and mid back pain.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative medicine health care profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and their effects on the nervous system and general health. It emphasizes manual therapy including spinal manipulation and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation, and includes exercises and health and lifestyle counseling. Traditionally, it assumes that a vertebral subluxation or spinal joint dysfunction can interfere with the body′s function and its innate ability to heal itself.
Electric Muscle Stimulation
Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a special form of electrical current. It stimulates muscles by supplying an artificial contraction of spasm in order to fatigue muscles, which are in spasm. It is administered at the site of soft tissue injuries, such as muscle injuries, to block pain. Used to produce muscle contraction, decongestion, stretching of fibrotic tissue and hyperemia. Benefits of EMS: Reinforces healing of painful, stressed and injured tissues; restores muscle tone, thus restoring normal muscle function.
Active Therapeutic Movement
Active Therapeutic Movement (ATM) provides immediate and long-lasting benefits to many back, neck, shoulder, pelvis, and hip pains. By definition ATM involves enhancing/improving any motion by initially stabilizing and respositioning the body areas that are causing pain relative to muscularskeletal issues and then implementing controlled movements or exercises towards the complain movement or compromised body area.
