Electric Muscle Stimulation

Electric muscle stimulation can be accomplished with either a “Muscle Stimulator” device, or “tens unit”. Muscle stimulation can release tight muscles and reduce swelling and nerve pain. The muscle stimulator device interrupts pain signals from nerve cells to the brain.

Ultrasound

Therapeutic (vs Diagnostic ultrasound) introduces sound waves into the body causing water to vibrate in the cells, which causes friction and heat. This results in a healing response reducing pain and inflammation.

Spinal Manipulation

Osteopathic Doctors, Naturopathic Doctors and Chiropractic Doctors are trained to deliver gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive therapy called spinal manipulation or spinal adjustments. These adjustments reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body in an effort to reduce inflammation and improve function of both the affected joint and nervous system. By increasing joint mobility and improving your nervous system function and spinal health, your body can better manage symptoms caused by everyday stressors.

Home Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy can include contrast treatment of hot and cold water. Heat dilates the blood vessels and lymphatics while cold constricts the vessels. This creates a pumping action improving blood flow and cleansing of the lymphatic system.
