Electrical Muscle Stimulation - This creates an electrical current that affects the myo-neural junction - or the area the nerve activates or goes into muscle. Using the electrical muscle stimulator will also help to over-ride the established reflex pattern which is causing muscle spasms, restricting motion and producing pain. The electrical current also helps to increase the circulation in the area, promoting healing, and strengthening the area of muscle involved. The application of electrical muscle stimulation promotes healing and, especially, strengthening of the involved area.
Intersegmental Traction - The spinalator improves the mobility and circulation in the joints of the spine. Traction stretches the joints, causing a suction, which helps the pliability or flexibility of the intervertebral disc. Stretching the spine improves the elasticity of the tissue and strengthens the disk. It also relaxes, as well as helps the spine to heal more mobile and much stronger.
Hydrocollation (Hot Packs) - Moist heat will serve to aid your nerve energy. It produces a local increase in the blood flow by dilating (opening up) the capillaries (small blood vessels) and decreases the activity of muscle spasms and nerve excitability. The application also increases the tissue metabolism by bringing a fresh and nourishing blood supply into the area, which increases healing. The increased circulation will enable the injured tissue to more efficiently throw off its waste products so a more complete healing will take place. This will also help reduce scar tissue formation.
Ultra Sound - Utilizes high frequency sound waves to penetrate the tissue and vibration causes a "micro massage". This greatly increases the metabolic rate to throw off its waste products. By using ultrasound, the injured or malfunctioning tissue heals much faster and more completely.
Ear Auricular Therapy - This therapy is a new development in medical and therapeutic field. The human body is always in a state of unity of opposites in which all parts maintain intimate relationship, competing with each other, depending on each other, connected with each other and restoring each other. Any pathological development in one part of the body can affect the whole body or other organs; the condition of the whole body can affect the pathological development in a certain part. At present, the effectiveness of auricular therapy as a complementary approach to the Chiropractic manipulation in the treatment of various types of dis-ease has been estimated at over 90% success, particularly in the treatment of painful symptoms, functional disorders of the internal secretions. This cutting the treatment protocols to around one third the recovery time. If therapy hurts on particular points you need it, if it doesn't hurt, you don't.
The Rattler - Utilizes low frequency electromagnetic current stimulation, similar to magnetic pulsing. This device is capable to stimulating ATP production in the cells, stimulating lymph drainage and even killing small bacteria that may be floating in the area.
