Our Therapies
Electric Stimulation
Electric Muscle Stimulation is a procedure used to passively exercise muscular soft tissue. The electrical current stimulates the nerve as they enter the muscle and gently contracts the muscle in a rhythmic pattern to promote healing, strengthening, and stabilizing factors in the recuperating muscle. |
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic Ultrasound is a method of stimulating tissue beneath the skin's surface using sound waves. Ultrasound therapy increases blood flow in the treated area which speeds the healing process. Ultrasound therapy reduces swelling and edema which are the main source of pain. Ultrasound waves gently massage the muscles, tendons and/or ligaments in the treated area. This enhances the recovery rate of damaged tissue without adding strain, and softens any scar tissue that is usually present in an injured area. |
Intersegmental
Mechanical Traction Intersegmental Traction is a specialized procedure designed to give passive exercise to the 110 joints associated with your spine. Spinal injuries cause the joints of the spine to lock up and lose their ability to bend and twist normally. This loss of mobility causes the disc to lose its nutritional supply and further hinders its function, pliability and flexibility. Intersegmental Traction used in conjunction with Chiropractic care loosens (unlocks) joints and gives passive motion exercise and therapy which feed the discs 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. The feeling of the Intersegmental traction has been described by patients as the "magic fingers" approach to back care. |
Graston Technique
Graston Technique is a patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The Technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. |
