Inferential Therapy is a type of electrical modality that send small electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate underlying nerves and tissue.  These impulses do not hurt, but at times tickle and can cause the muscle too twitch.  This modality works very well in reducing pain, edema, spasms and inflammation.

• Help relax tight muscles causing tissues to relax.

• Decreases pain caused by muscle tension or spasms.

• Causes vasodilatation of the blood vessels which increase circulation to the area.

Massage is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate and tone the body. It also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system, improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.

Intersegmental Traction mobilizes the spinal column while simultaneously and gently stretching ligaments and muscles.  It increases blood flow and oxygen to the discs, ligaments and muscles, thereby improving balance, strength and mobility.

Ultrasound is a treatment modality that is used to utilize high or low frequency sound waves.  The sound waves are transmitted to the surrounding tissue and vasculature. They penetrate the muscles to cause deep tissue muscle warming. This promotes tissue relaxation and therefore is useful in treating muscle tightness and spasms. The warm effect of the sound waves increase circulation to the area that assists in healing.

Therapeutic Exercises are specific bodily movements prescribed to correct impairment, improve musculoskeletal function and maintain a state of well-being.  Our approach is individualized to every patients specific needs and may vary from highly selected activities restricted to specific muscles or parts of the body, to general and vigorous activities that can return a symptomatic patient to the peak of physical condition.
