Ultrasound

Is a therapeutic treatment using high-frequency sound waves administered in the region of soft tissue injuries.It works using sound vibrations, as fast as a million times per second, to penetrate the tissues deep in the body, creating a heat response. These vibrations and heat help break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations.

The gel used to conduct the sound waves is kept in warm and may momentarily feel warm to the skin when it is initially applied. Most patients feel nothing, or a pleasant and relaxing sensation below the surface of the skin.

Ultrasound treatment can usually be administered directly to the area of complaint, penetrating deep into the body. The rise in temperature, increase in blood flow, relaxation of muscle spasms and massage to the damaged tissue speeds the healing process.


Electro-Muscle Stimulation

Is a special form of electrical current that is administered at the site of soft tissue injury, especially muscles, for the blocking of pain. Small amounts of electrical current are induced into the tissues for the purpose of reducing inflammation. This widely used technique safely strengthens muscles and helps reduce painful symptoms.

Patients generally feel a slight tingling sensation at first. Since your body may become accustomed to the initial setting, the intensity may be raised during the course of your 8-10 minute treatment for maximum healing effect.

Electro-Muscle Stimulation has been widely used as a safe and effective form of pain relief. It is recommended in cases where pain is accompanied by swelling and inflammation.


Intersegmental Traction (Roller Table)

Is a way of inducing passive motion into the spine for the purpose of stretching spinal joints and increasing mobility.

The patient lies face up on a bench table which has roller-type cams beneath its surface. These rollers can slowly travel the length of the spine, stretching spinal joints.
