Supportive Therapies aims to:
Pain Reduction
Tissue Healing
Improved Mobility
Decrease Swelling
Enhanced Circulation
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a process through which low-level electrical currents are used to stimulate muscles, forcing them to contract. These contractions help to strengthen muscles, reduce pain, and promote muscle healing and rehabilitation.
Treats:
- Muscle atrophy
- Weakness
- Pain
Benefits:
Strengthens Muscles
Aids in the rehabilitation of weakened muscles, improving strength and functionality.
Reduces Pain
Can alleviate pain by stimulating nerves and releasing endorphins.
Improves Circulation
Encourages better blood flow, which is essential for muscle health and recovery.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to treat pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. It’s a method of stimulating the tissue beneath the skin’s surface using very high-frequency sound waves, without causing discomfort.
Treats:
- Muscle spasms
- Pain
- Inflammation
Benefits:
Promotes Healing
The sound waves can encourage tissue repair and promote healing in areas difficult to reach by other methods.
Reduces Swelling
By increasing circulation and reducing inflammation, ultrasound therapy can help diminish swelling.
Increases Tissue Relaxation
Helps in relaxing muscles and easing muscle tightness, providing relief from pain and improving functionality.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is a low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. The technique is called “cold” because the low levels of light aren’t enough to heat your body’s tissue. It’s primarily used to treat inflammation, pain, and to accelerate tissue repair.
Treats:
- Acute and chronic pain
- Inflammation
- Tissue damage
Benefits:
Non-invasive Pain Relief
Provides a pain-free alternative to surgery and medication.
Accelerates Healing
Stimulates the cells involved in tissue repair, accelerating the healing process.
Reduces Swelling
Effective in managing inflammation and reducing swelling in treated areas.
Feelings of Our Happy Client’s
"Truly cares…"
The staff is always friendly and helpful!
As a new client + first time using a chiropractor I am very impressed. Dr. Kristin is just amazing and caters her care to my individual and unique needs. She genuinely cares about her patients!
"Very happy…"
My 3 month old was having some issues with laying on her back, colic, belly pains, etc! So someone said take her to a chiropractor, and I was like “ehhh” at first, but decided to go for it because I just want my daughter to feel better. After the first visit with Kristen my daughter is a totally different baby! She is using the bathroom like normal, and letting me put her down to be able to do things instead of holding her all day! I would recommend Dr. Kristin to anyone for their child!
"Super friendly…"
This place is great!
The staff is friendly, the office is lovely, and Dr. Kristin gave me a comprehensive plan to help with my neck and back pain. It’s improving already! I would definitely recommend them.
