Theraputic Modalities

Ultrasound
Ultrasound has been shown to cause increases in tissue relaxation, local blood flow, and scar tissue breakdown. The effect of the increase in local blood flow can be used to help reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation, and according to some studies, promote bone fracture healing. Some conditions treated with ultrasound include tendinitis, non-acute joint swelling, muscle spasm, and even help break up scar tissue.

Electrotherapy / Electric Stimulation
Helps to reduce pain and inflammation especially in acute conditions and can be used to strengthen weakened muscles from injury.

ICE / HOT MOIST PACKS
We typically use ice packs or hot moist packs in conjunction with our other treatments and modalities to help facilitate the best environment of healing possible.
