therapies and modalities
At Chiropractic Plus, we use Chiropractic "plus" a variety of treatments to help attain the best possible results. The following are some examples:
Electro-Myopulse- Advanced technology in rehabilitation and pain control. A gentle microcurrent stimulates tissue repair by utilizing a proprietary feedback technology that continuously adjusts to the exact frequency necessary to repair the damaged tissue. Click for more detail
Ultrasound- Uses vibration of molecules/atoms to produce deep heat. More effective for chronic conditions than acute injury.
Cold Laser- Less heat output than ligating lasers used for surgical procedures. Raises the synthesis of enchephalons/endorphins, DNA, RNA, and amino acids to promote healing.
Interferential Therapy/TENS- Electrical stimulation which can increase endorphins. Stimulates inhibitory pathways and increases the threshold of the receptor field. Effective for acute conditions.
Hydrocolator- Very effective for producing moist heat, which increases blood flow and can decrease spasm/hypertonicity.
Cryotherapy (Ice/Cold Packs)- Used to numb receptor fields and temporarily decreased blood flow, thereby decreasing inflammation/swelling.
Neuroscope- Light, comfortable microcurrent electrical stimulation aimed at relaxing and balancing the brain. Can enhance the results of the Electro-Myopulse when used as a pre-treatment. Also effective in helping stress, insomnia and migraines.
Massage/Hands-on Therapy- Systematic manual application of pressure and movement to the soft tissue of the body. Promotes blood flow, relieves tension, stimulates nerves, and increases the body's range of motion and flexibility.
