Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy (Spinal Adjustment):  Movement of the vertebrae to correct subluxations (misalignment) and restore a normal range of motion to the joint, and reduce fixations.

 

Intersegmental Traction:  Mobilizing traction to restore vertebral mobility and reduce vertebral fixations.  This is a table that you lay on and the rollers run up and down the spine to traction each individual vertebrae.  People nickname this the roller table and most people love this table as it feels very relaxing, sort of like a massage.

 

Electrical Stimulation:  Bipolar premodulated therapy to help reduce pain, swelling, increase range of motion, relaxation of muscle spasm and increase of muscle metabolism and blood flow to promote healing.  Pads are applied to the muscles which creates a sensation of the muscle contracting.

 

Therapeutic Massage:  Massage is a hands on therapy which increases flow of blood, reduces edema, and breaks up adhesions.  Used to increase mobilization, speed healing, and reduce pain.

 

Hydroculator Packs:  Heat packs applied to the body to increase the metabolic activity and circulation through the area.  Speeds healing of tissues, relaxes spasms, and reduces associated pain.

 

Ice:  Used to reduce edema, decrease nerve and muscle metabolism, reduce pain and muscle fatigue, increase muscular tone.
