Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a powerful, non-invasive solution for chronic pain. This innovative treatment uses high-energy acoustic wave pulses to penetrate deep into affected areas. This stimulates blood flow and accelerates the natural healing of stubborn soft tissue injuries It is highly effective for breaking up scar tissue and treating overuse injuries caused by repetitive actions. It also triggers your body’s own regenerative mechanics. It is the same technology that is used to break up kidney stones, but in our clinic it is used for musculoskeletal conditions. At $60 per session, we offer one of the lowest rates in Chattanooga.
Shockwave therapy can be used to treat
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
- Tennis Elbow
- Golfer's Elbow
- Patellar Tendonitis
- Hip Bursitis
- Shin Splints
- Trigger Points
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
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
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
