Myofascial Therapy
Myofascial therapy is a form of stretching that helps the chiropractor to address trigger points and adhesions. This loosens up the connective tissue to allow other therapies to work better. This therapy works well with other chiropractic treatments.
Electrical Stimulation Therapies
Three different types of electric stimulation therapies are available. Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Interferential Current Therapy, and Microcurrent Therapy. The type of therapy depends on the type of injury and pain you have. The doctor will give you a diagnosis and recommend the type that will work the best for you to decrease your back pain.
Adjustments and Manipulation
In order for the body to work to its maximum capacity, everything needs to be in alignment. That is what chiropractic adjustment and manipulation are all about; making sure that your spine is aligned. Many varieties of manipulation are used, but all of them have one goal: relieving pain and improving the quality of life.
Therapeutic Exercise
When you have a condition that is restricting your movement, the first thing to do is to deal with the pain. After the pain has gotten under control, getting back some functions you may have lost is important for your wellbeing. Therapeutic exercise can address a variety of issues that may have arisen while you were less active due to back pain.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to produce heat that reduces inflammation and increases the flow of blood to the area, which encourages the body to heal itself. You may notice a decrease in stiffness and pain.
