Specific or combined pain management therapies can significantly reduce, arrest and prevent pain, stiffness and limited mobility, and assist in healing.
Physical
therapy refers to the mechanical treatment of injury and disease
through exercise, stretching, massage, heat, passive movement and other
methodologies designated to help improve the function of bones,
muscles, joints, and nerves. At Etheredge Chiropractic, we offer
full-service, in-house physical therapy as an integral part of many
patient treatment programs promoting recovery and pain management. Our
physical therapy options include:
Ultrasound - This
relaxing and warming therapy uses high frequency sound waves to relieve
muscular tension, spasm and inflammation. Its effective and soothing
qualities make it one of our most popular healing therapies.
Massage -
Our highly trained massage therapists work to help relax tight muscles,
improve circulation to injured areas, and restore nerve function to
inflamed or constricted tissues. Massage also helps prepare tense areas
for healing spinal manipulation and adjustment.
Spinal Decompression Therapy - This
passive, non-surgical treatment gently stretches compressed spinal
bones to relive pressure on impacted vertebrae and discs that can cause
pain and pinched nerves in the low back and/or neck. A SDT session can
last as few as 20 minutes, yet provide relief from lumbar and cervical
spine dysfunction, and alleviate referral pain through the legs
(sciatica) or into the arm.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation -
EMS therapy introduces gentle electrical impulses to tense, constricted
or inflamed soft tissues to promote circulation, release spasm and
encourage healing.
Stretching -
Your doctor may incorporate passive stretching to help relieve muscle
tension and spasm and to carefully introduce greater range of motion to
constrained muscles and tendons. He may also prescribe at at-home
series of stretching and strengthening exercises to improve your
flexibility and help prevent further or recurrent injury.
