Electrical Stimulation/TENS Unit
Sometimes called E-stim for short, the electric stimulation therapy is an excellent modality that can help treat acute/chronic pain, restricted motion, and muscle spasms. It helps contract and release muscle bellies through mild electrical currents. This stimulates local circulation near an injury which brings in new white blood cells for injury repair. It also can greatly reduce muscle tension and pain.
Electrical stimulation is used to treat:
Muscle spasms
Muscle tension
Muscle weakness
Neck pain
Low back pain
Mid-back pain
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Bursitis
Post-surgical tightness/pain
Sprains/strains
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Plantar fasciitis
Percussion Therapy
Percussion therapy is a handheld device that applies a rapid and repetitive motion to affected muscles, ligaments, or tendons. The rapid vibrating pressure can increase blood flow and stimulate circulation around an injury which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to an injury. Percussion disrupts muscle tension and reduces pain sensitivity throughout injured areas as well. It can also take tension off of nerve roots that are causing referred tingling, numbness, or pain.
Percussion therapy is used to treat:
Muscle spasms
Muscle tension
Muscle weakness
Neck pain
Low back pain
Mid-back pain
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Bursitis
Sprains/strains
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Plantar fasciitis
Blocked lymph nodes
Intersegmental Roller Table
Sometimes also called an intersegmental traction table or roller bed, this therapy is an excellent combination with chiropractic care. It is a large table with rollers that glide through each segment of the spine. It gently pushes motion into each part of the spine in a smooth gliding motion that helps open mobility in the spinal segments while relaxing the muscles that support the spine.
Roller table can be used to treat:
Neck pain
Low back pain
Mid-back pain
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Bursitis
Sprains/strains
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Plantar fasciitis
Blocked lymph nodes
Muscle spasms
Muscle tension
Muscle weakness
Decompression Therapy
Decompression therapy, sometimes called traction therapy, is one of the best treatment options for nerve impingement injuries such as a disc bulge or stenosis. It applies a gentle and controlled stretch to the spine in order to open up space between the discs, the nerve roots, and the bones of the spine. This controlled application and release of pressure to the spine can open up and shift alignment of disc spaces/vertebrae to take pressure off of nerve roots. This can greatly improve and treat nerve pain caused by spinal conditions.
Decompression therapy can be used to treat
Bulging discs
Herniated discs
Stenosis
Nerve impingement
Sciatica symptoms
Osteoarthritis
Back and neck pain
Facet joint
Scoliosis
Spondylolisthesis
