Therapies

Intersegmental Traction is a way of inducing passive motion into the spine for the purpose of stretching spinal joints, increasing mobility.

The patient lies, face up, on a bench table which has roller-type cams beneath its surface. These rollers slowly travel the length of the spine, stretching spinal joints.

Most patients find this form of treatment to be relaxing and very helpful. The gentle rolling action is restful, exercising the spine without effort.

Since discs have a poor blood supply, they get nutrients from the circulation of fluids surrounding spinal joints. Fixations prevent this natural circulation and can cause disc thinning and degeneration. Intersegmental traction helps increase and restore necessary elasticity and motion to the spine.

The benefits include:
*Comfortable and relaxing
*Increased mobility
*Improves circulation of spinal fluids

Enjoy the relaxing motion and the increased mobility gained.

Interferential Electro-Therapy is a therapeutic treatment to aid in the
relief of pain and the promotion of soft
tissue healing.

Tiny amounts of electrical impulses are induced into the tissues in the vicinity of the injury. Where these two waves intersect below the surface of the skin, a low-frequency stimulation is created. This prompts the body to secrete endorphins and other natural pain killers to help relieve pain.

Most patients find this therapy to be extremely beneficial and describe the treatment as a faint "pins and needles" sensation.

Interferential Electro-Therapy is most often used for pain relief and to aid in reducing the swelling of soft tissues. Ligament sprains, muscle strains and spasms often respond to this treatment, helping to reduce atrophy and increase blood circulation.

The benefits include:
*Reduces painful symptoms
*Decreases local swelling
*Promotes muscle tone
*Restores normal movements
*Releases the body's natural pain killers
*Accelerates the healing process
