Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is the application of ice, ice massage, or compressions to reduce the temperature of tissue, thus reducing inflammation by decreasing the blood flow to the area of application, numbing the painful area, and stopping further swelling. Ice is most often used at the onset of an acute injury or an exacerbation of a chronic injury.

Superficial Heat
Superficial heat is the application of heat to the body by way of direct contact. This heat increases the temperature of the tissue being treated. It helps to increase the circulation, reduces joint stiffness, relaxes tissues such as muscles in spasm and connective tissue, and relieves pain temporarily. Heat is usually used for chronic pain conditions and/or muscle spasms.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a high frequency sound, which penetrates the soft tissue on the surface of the body and creates a heat response deep within the soft tissue being treated. It causes an increase in blood circulation, relaxes deep muscle spasms, and speeds up the healing process of damaged tissue.

Exercise Therapy
Therapeutic exercise is a individualized assessment from a chiropractic physician which includes stretches, strengthening movements, and aerobic activity designed specifically for the purpose of increasing ranges of motion, increasing support and stability to injured areas, rehabilitation, and prevention of further injuries.

Electro-Muscular Stimulation
This is a specific form of electrical current applied at the site of soft tissue injury. Small amounts of electrical currents are introduced to the surface of the body, and these currents reduce the swelling in the tissue, reduce pain sensations, promote muscle tone, and increase the healing process.

Interferential Electro-Therapy
This is much like electro-muscular stimulation in its application. Interferential is used primarily for pain relief. These currents are helpful in the release of endorphins within the body, which naturally relieve pain.

Microcurrent Therapy
Microcurrent uses small amounts of electrical current to aid in pain relief and soft tissue healing. The level of electrical current is measured in millionths of an amp. The current is so small that our bodies produce the same amount of current during the healing of damaged tissue. The influence of these currents helps to stimulate the healing process after an acute injury has taken place. Microcurrent helps in the reduction of swollen tissue, reduction of pain, and release of trigger points.

Surface EMG
A surface EMG is a machine which measures small amounts of electricity and heat from the surface of the body. A computer interprets the information gathered by the EMG and gives a reading of the information. The EMG measures the muscles on the sides of your spine to determine if one side is more active than another. One side may be overactive or one side may not be active enough. This is a safe and easy way to gather information regarding your problem. The surface EMG shows the location of muscle spasms and the severity of muscle spasms.

Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are uncontrolled muscle spasms which cause referred pain to other areas of the body. These muscle spasms cause pain, decrease range of motion, and increase muscle weakness. Trigger point therapy is the act of decreasing of relieving these muscle spasms. The spasms are relieved by sustaining pressure over a short period of time. This treatment is a great way to reduce chronic muscle spasms, avoid scar tissue formation, improve muscle tone, and increase range of motion.
