Chiropractic
A system of diagnosis and treatment based on the concept that the nervous system coordinates all of the body's functions, and that disease results from a lack of normal nerve function. Chiropractic employs manipulation and adjustment of body structures, such as the spinal column, so that pressure on nerves coming from the spinal cord due to displacement (subluxation) of a vertebral body may be relieved. Practitioners believe that misalignment and nerve pressure can cause problems not only in the local area, but also at some distance from it. Chiropractic treatment appears to be effective for muscle spasms of the back and neck, tension headaches and some sorts of leg pain. (Source www.medterms.com)
Massage Therapy
Muscle Stimulation
The EMS Stimulator is used for the application of low-level electrical current to nerves and muscle-motor fibers via electrodes (patches) placed on the skin. This interferential current therapy treatment is effective in the reduction of swelling and pain. These muscle stimulators help muscle spasms, circulation and strength.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic Ultrasound is a deep tissue heating modality reaching underlying tissues as deep as 1 to 5 centimeters. It is used to treat muscular-skeletal injuries, back and joint conditions, limited range of motion, soft tissue injuries and chronic conditions. Treatment is administered directly which penetrates the tissues, increases blood flow, relaxes muscle spasms, repairs damaged tissue and dramatically speeds the healing process. It creates permanent, physical changes and repairs both hard and soft tissue problems.
Cold Laser Therapy
The term cold laser refers to the use of low-intensity or low levels of laser light. Cold laser treatment is thought to help some types of pain, inflammation and wound healing. Cold lasers are also sometimes used for acupuncture, with laser beams to stimulate the body's acupoints rather than than needles. This treatment regimen appeals to those who want acupuncture but who fear the pain of needles.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very fine needles into the skin to stimulate specific anatomic points in the body (called acupoints or acupuncture points) for therapeutic purposes. Along with the usual method of puncturing the skin with the fine needles, the practitioners of acupuncture also use heat, pressure, friction, suction, or impulses of electromagnetic energy to stimulate the point. The acupoints (acupuncture points) are stimulated to balance the movement of energy (qi) in the body to restore health.
