Superficial Heat – often used to help raise the temperature of soft tissues directly below the surface of the skin.
Ultrasound- to diminish inflammation/swelling and promote tissue healing in a given articulation.
Interferential Electro-Therapy – Tiny amounts of electrical impulses are induced into the tissues in the vicinity of the injury. Where these waves intersect below the surface of the skin, low-frequency stimulation is created. This prompts the body to secrete endorphins and other natural pain killers to relieve pain.
Electro-Muscle Stimulation – Small amounts of electrical current are induced into the tissues for the purpose of reducing swelling. This widely used technique safely strengthens and helps reduce painful symptoms.
Trigger Point Therapy – A trigger point is an area of uncontrolled muscle tightness causing tenderness which interferes with normal muscle function. This restricts normal range of motion, weakens the muscle, and may refer pain to other parts of the body. The muscle is compressed with sustaned pressure to relax it.
Intersegmental Traction - Mobilizes the spinal column while simultaneously and gently stretching ligaments and muscles. Increases blood flow and oxygen to discs, ligaments and muscles, thereby improving balance, strength and mobility
Massage Therapy - Maintains health; provides relaxation; preserves or increases functional capacity; diminishes soft-tissue pain arising from stress, anxiety, adhesions, and overuses.
Acupuncture - Therapeutic insertion of solid needles in various combinations and patterns is the foundation of acupuncture. The choice of needle patterns can be based on traditional principles such as encouraging the flow of qi (pronounced chee), a subtle vivifying energy, through classically described acupuncture channels. Used to treat addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low-back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma--in which acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative or be included in a comprehensive management program
