Therapies

Chiropractic Care, Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Therapeutic Ultrasound & Cold Laser Therapy

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (Estim therapy) is a physical therapy modality used to help control pain, get stronger, increase physical functioning, retrain movements you may have lost, and manage inflammation. It works by applying an adjustable electrical current through tissue via electrodes in patches placed on the skin.

Therapeutic Ultrasound is a physical therapy modality used to provide deep heating and energy to soft tissue in the body which include muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments. Therapeutic Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves administered in the region of soft tissue injuries. Therapeutic Ultrasound has been shown to cause an increase in healing rates, tissue relaxation, tissue healing, local blood flow, and scar tissue breakdown. The high frequency vibrations of the waves can also help break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations.

Cold Laser Therapy utilizes a low-intensity laser to treat chronic and acute pain, soft tissue injuries, joint conditions, skin conditions and to promote healing. The laser’s infrared wavelengths are absorbed by the mitochondria in the cells, stimulating tissue repair and healing.
