activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they werent

until now.>>>READ

Muscle
Stimulation
This type of therapy uses light electrical pulses that are
transmitted to specific areas of the body through electrodes
placed on the skin. There are many different types of electrical
stimulation. Some are more beneficial for pain relief or to
reduce inflammation, some for muscle spasm, and some actually
cause muscles to contract in order to reduce muscle atrophy.
Some have combination effects.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a form of deep heat therapy created
by sound waves. When applied to soft tissues and joints, the
sound waves are a form of micro-massage that help reduce swelling,
increase blood flow, and decrease pain, stiffness, and spasms.
Ice and Heat Therapy
Ice and heat have long been used to treat many painful conditions.
Ice therapy is often used to reduce swelling and help control
pain immediately after an injury. Heat therapy is used to
relax the muscles and increase circulation and can provide
relief to patients with chronic pain. Depending on the patient's
condition, a combination of ice and heat can be used.
Traction-Massage
In chiropractic traction-massage, the patient lies face up
with a pillow under the knees. A system of rollers then moves
up and down the spine, gently stretching and massaging the
muscles of the back. Traction-massage usually is performed
just before an adjustment to relax the spine, making the adjustment
easier to perform, more comfortable, and more beneficial.
