Physical Therapies we Incorporate :

MOIST HEAT is used to “warm up” the muscles and ligaments before a Chiropractic adjustment. The hot packs increase blood circulation to the area they are applied. This therapy helps relieve pain, tension, and decreases muscle spasms which helps speed the healing process!

ELECTRO-MUSCLE STIMULATION is used after the Chiropractic adjustment. It aids in pain relief, decreases swelling and promotes general muscle tone. Patients generally feel a tingling sensation to the area applied.

INTERSEGMENTAL TRACTION induces passive motion for the purpose of increasing mobility in the spine. The table incorporates roller-type cams that gently roll along the spine. This therapy is very relaxing while it increases spinal mobility!

CERVICAL & LUMBAR TRACTION (DECOMPRESSION) also induces passive motion of the spine with the added benefit of stretching or decompressing the spinal joints. Decompression therapy relieves pain associated with tension, bulging discs, degenerative changes in the spine, and neurological conditions (like numbness through the arms or legs). This therapy is recommended for relief and treatment of headaches as well.

DIATHERMY is a form of short wave, electro-magnetic energy used to increase the temperature of muscles and ligaments. Unlike other forms of heat therapy, Diathermy’s heat passes through the skin to the underlying tissues and the heat increases blood circulation and speeds the healing process. It also stimulates white blood cell production, which is helpful in treating sinus infections!

AURICULOTHERAPY - We offer the most effective method we have found to help people reduce or completely eliminate smoking. Using precise electrical impulses to the ear, cravings for nicotine are dramatically reduced!

EXERCISE THERAPY is repetitive stretching and strengthening activities to develop weak or injured muscle groups of the body. Basically, by strengthening the muscles of the body for specific conditions exercise helps the total rehabilitation process and also restores muscle tone and increases range of motion. Exercise plus Chiropractic is a smart health choice!

Thermography, or Thermal Imaging, is a type of infrared imaging. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects based on their temperatures, the amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature, therefore thermography allows us to see the variations in temperature. The basic principle is simple, and was devised by Hippocrates. Hippocrates placed mud on the backs of his patients. If the mud dried faster on one side over the other, this meant there was greater temperature on that side, meaning blood flow was greater. We utilize this device to help our patients better understand how their treatments are affecting their body and document their improvement.

MyoVision's Tytron-Based Thermoglide unit is known throughout the world as the most accurate, reproducible and rugged Thermography unit available.
