Most injuries of the muscles, called strains, and injuries of ligaments, called sprains, can be handled easily through conservative chiropractic care.

When any area of your body is injured, that area of muscles, ligaments, nerve communication and blood flow are compromised. Left untreated, scar tissue forms and nerve transmission is altered.

By receiving the proper exam, x-ray, and treatment, guided rehab will help you tone the damaged soft tissues muscles and ligaments.  This will also allow more range of motion and stronger muscle tone, so you will be less prone to future injuries, and for a better feeling you!
Physiotherapy consists of using specialized equipment to help heal soft tissue damage of the muscles and ligaments. In addition to chiropractic adjustments to the spine and extremities, we offer muscle & ligament tonification using our different modalities.

• Ultrasound:  Tissue stimulation to relieve swelling and inflammation, increase blood circulation, inhibit or reduce calcium deposits and scar tissue formation. Sonic transferring gel is applied to the injured area and then massaged with high frequency soothing sound waves that penetrates the skin and muscles.
• MuscleStim: Re-educates and strengthens muscles, increases blood flow, reduces edema, relaxes muscle spasms, and increases joint flexibility. Sticky electrode pads are placed on the injured area and attached to wire leads.  The impulse is adjusted to a high level of comfortable tolerance and left to stimulate the muscles while the patients rests.
• Heat/Cold Packs: For acute and/or chronic muscular strains and sprains. Heat: vasodilation, increase nerve conduction; Cold: vasoconstriction, decrease nerve conduction. Both reduce skeletal muscle tension and pain. Contrasting therapy is by alternating heat/cold, one right after the other for 20′ each.
• Neck Rehab: Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, isometric (against resistance w/out movement) and isotonic (resistance applied with muscular movement of that area). You the patient, will feel the muscles and ligaments working as that area gradually tonifies.
• Low Back Rehab: Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, isotonic (resistance applied with movement of the muscles and bones of that area).
• Intersegmental Traction
