Electrical Stimulation & Ultrasound
Ultrasound: Ultrasound penetrates heat into human tissue deeper than any other heat modality, 4-6 cm. The Benefits of heat from ultrasound include; promotion of muscle relaxation, increased local metabolism, and reduction of pain by sedating nerve endings. Ultrasound treatment is done by guiding waves into the body from the head of an ultrasound machine.
Electrical Stimulation: Electrotherapy machines are a popular modality used in physical therapy and rehabilitation. Electrotherapy (also known as electrical muscle stimulation or E-Stim) uses an electrical machine that delivers electrical impulses to a patient’s body. This stimulation is done in order to promote and facilitate muscle healing and tissue regeneration. Not only is Electrotherapy a popular modality in physical therapy, but can also be used by other rehabilitation practitioners because it has several numerous therapeutic benefits. |
Flexion-Distraction Therapy
Flexion Distraction is a chiropractic technique used to treat many conditions of the lumbar spine. It is a non-surgical technique aimed at increasing spinal motion and resolving disc bulges and disc herniations. The treatment is excellent as a safe, gentle, non-force procedure and works well to take pressure off the spinal nerves that may be injured or dysfunctional.
