Individualized Treatments for All

Chiropractic adjustments, or spinal manipulations, are the primary treatment for back pain. They relieve joint pressure, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve function. Spinal manipulation dates back to ancient Greece and is now used for allergies, headaches, and more. Chiropractors use over 100 techniques, some involving force and twisting while others are gentle. Regardless, the goal is to restore joint function and reduce pain and inflammation. Misaligned vertebrae cause systemic issues in the muscular and central nervous systems. Proper alignment is important for optimal nerve, immune, and cognitive function. Overall, spinal adjustments optimize bodily function without discomfort.

Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese medical practice, targets pain relief and overall well-being. By inserting needles into invisible meridians that traverse the body, acupuncture promotes balance and unblocks vital energy or chi. Contemporary acupuncturists employ not only needles but also lasers, magnets, and electric pulses. Each meridian point holds significance, and through their stimulation, acupuncturists can repair channels and restore equilibrium, hence fostering good health. Acupuncture adopts a holistic perspective, comprehending normal function and disease processes, and emphasizes prevention as much as treatment in order to maintain well-being.

Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of health problems, such as:

• Persistent lower back pain
• Chronic tension­-type headaches and migraines
• Neck pain
• Joint pain
• Postoperative pain
• Allergies
• Depression and anxiety
• Insomnia

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is an effective method of reducing pain, swelling, and recovery time for various ailments. Particularly valuable for soft tissue injuries, muscle spasms, and post-workout recovery, EMS has been gaining popularity. The treatment only takes a few minutes. Electrodes are placed on the affected area, and the machine is activated. An electrical current is then transmitted, resulting in small, rapid muscle contractions. Patients may feel tingling or prickling, which subsides after the session. These contractions relieve pain, relax muscles, and stimulate the release of endorphins – our natural pain relievers. EMS also aids in clearing metabolic waste for faster healing.

Interferential Current Therapy (ICT) is a highly effective method for pain relief and accelerating the body’s healing process. It involves the use of electrodes placed on the skin surrounding the affected area. An Interferential Current device is then utilized to transmit small electrical impulses throughout the skin, stimulating the underlying tissue and nerves to initiate healing. Despite being described as a minor prickle, these impulses are not painful. Furthermore, ICT aids in improving blood circulation and expediting recovery by triggering the release of endorphins. Overall, Interferential Current Therapy is a valuable approach to pain relief and promoting healing in the body.

Interferential Current Therapy is used to treat:

• Circulatory and muscle disorders
• Stiff joints
• Joint injuries
• Edema
• Inflammation
• Muscle spasms

Advantages of Interferential Current Therapy include:

• Reducing or eliminating pain in a safe manner
• Noticeable decrease in swelling and inflammation
• Restoring lost movement and improving range­-of­-motion
• Stimulating the natural hormones which can help the body heal faster

Microcurrent therapy is a treatment offered to patients with chronic pain and soft tissue injuries. During this therapy, similarly to electrical stimulation therapy, electrodes are attached to the skin near the affected tissue. However, microcurrents, significantly smaller than in electrical muscle stimulation, do not produce a noticeable sensation.

The human body naturally produces an electrical current that helps cells coordinate. When a disease or injury disrupts this flow, cellular function declines, affecting the healing process. Microcurrent therapy restores disrupted electromagnetic fields, bringing the cells back to normalcy, which leads to accelerated healing. It also reduces inflammation, pain, and muscle spasms, making it an excellent therapy for back and neck pain, among other conditions. Multiple sessions are usually required, often in combination with other chiropractic therapies.
