Cold Laser
Cold laser therapy is used to treat a range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, joint pain, back and neck pain, neuropathic pain, wound healing, and certain dermatological issues. The term "cold laser" refers to the fact that the therapy does not generate heat and is generally considered painless. The power output of the lasers or LEDs used in this therapy is significantly lower than those used in surgical procedures.
Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim)
Electrical stimulation (e-stim) or electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. This technique is commonly known as electrical stimulation (e-stim) or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). It involves the application of electrodes to the skin in specific areas of the body, through which electrical currents are delivered.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique used to alleviate pain, increase range of motion, and improve overall function by targeting myofascial restrictions. Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, organs, and other structures in the body. Myofascial restrictions can occur due to various factors such as trauma, inflammation, or poor posture, leading to pain and movement limitations.
Flexion Distraction Therapy
Flexion-distraction therapy, also known as Cox Technic or Cox Flexion-Distraction, is a chiropractic technique primarily used for the treatment of spinal conditions, particularly those affecting the lumbar (lower) spine. It is a gentle, non-invasive approach that involves the application of controlled and rhythmic traction, flexion, and distraction forces to the spine.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a therapeutic technique used to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by myofascial trigger points. These points are tight knots of muscle fibers that can form in various areas of the body. Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure to these specific points to release tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. By targeting trigger points, this therapy aims to reduce pain, restore muscle function, and enhance overall well-being.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The cups can be made of various materials, such as glass, silicone, or bamboo. By creating a vacuum, cupping helps to draw the skin and underlying tissues upward, increasing blood flow to the area and promoting healing. This technique is often used to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Cupping can leave temporary marks on the skin, which typically fade within a few days.
