Physiotherapy

Ice packs / Ice cup massage

Can be used to reduce swelling in the tissues and decrease pain. Surface cooling restricts blood flow, decreases pain and reduce muscle spasms.

Moist Heat / Hydrocollator (Superficial Heat)

Can be used to decrease pain, decrease muscle spasm, decrease elevated muscle tone and increase blood flow.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

Can assist in the breakup of myofascial adhesions, increase vascular pumping to reduce inflammation, strengthen muscle after injury, fatigue muscle spasms and break up adhesions that have accumulated around joints.

Our clinic offers both traditional waveform EMS as well as H-wave EMS. H-Wave is proven to result in significant vasodilation, increased blood flow and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) which speeds healing.

Ultrasound (deep heat)

Continuous Ultrasound can be used for deeper penetration of heat in order to soften tissues, assist in the breakup of myofascial adhesions, increase blood flow and decrease pain. Ultrasound can also be used to drive analgesic/anti-inflammatory molecules deep into an injured area (Phonophoresis) or for Micromassage (Pulsed Ultrasound) to help connective tissue such as ligaments to heal faster with better scar tissue organization.

Mechanical Traction

Can be used to relieve compression, stretch spinal segments, reduce muscle spasms and reduce swelling/edema.

Spinal Decompression Traction

Decompression Therapy is a modern, high tech, non-surgical traction procedure that effectively treats disabling low back, neck, and radiating leg and arm pain. This type of traction is very successful in relieving pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, and posterior facet syndromes, due to decompression of spinal discs and facet joints by utilizing traction, distraction and positioning. This therapy effectively enhances the healing process and renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle. Research to develop this procedure was conducted by prominent physicians, engineers and technicians at major teaching hospitals.

Our Services

Chiropractic

Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between STRUCTURE (primarily the spine, although fixations in the extremities are often involved) and its FUNCTION (as coordinated by the nervous system). Our doctors utilize specific assessment/treatment techniques to detect and correct dysfunctional spinal and extremity joints that are not moving properly. Restoring joint motion alleviates pain, improves function and […]

Active Release Techniques (ART)

Active Release Techniques® (ART) is a non-surgical soft tissue therapy that diagnoses and treats myofascial adhesion/scar tissue within/between muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerve tracts. ART utilizes principles of joint movement combined with friction/tension to break up these adhesions to restore proper mobility and function to the targeted area.

Fascial Distortion Model

What is the fascial distortion model? The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) is based on identifying six different distortions or issues within the body’s connective tissues, known as fascia. After locating the distortion, our doctors utilize hands-on therapy involving pressure and movement to treat the specific fascial distortion pattern. What is fascia? Fascia is the soft […]

Fascial Manipulation

Fascial Manipulation involves the identification of specific and localized densifications of the fascia in connection with specific patterns of limited movement. Once a limited or painful movement is identified, then a specific point on the fascia is implicated and through appropriate manipulation of this precise part of the fascia, movement can be restored to full […]

Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)

The SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment) is a movement based diagnostic system composed of a series of 7 fundamental movement patterns. These tests are designed to assess patterns of movement (such as bending and squatting) in individuals with known musculoskeletal pain. The assessment provides an efficient method to systematically find the source of symptoms by […]

Visceral Manipulation

“Viscera” relates to the internal organs of the body, such as the stomach, liver and intestines. Visceral Manipulation involves manual release of fascial restrictions in the abdomen and pelvis to encourage the normal movement and function of the internal organs. Most people are familiar with the idea of joint and muscle restrictions causing tightness, pain […]

Graston Technique

The Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that enables our doctors to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The Technique utilizes patented stainless steel instruments designed specifically to detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.

Anatomy In Motion (AiM)

Anatomy in Motion (AiM) is a movement based method of assessing / correcting postural problems, relieving pain, reducing the likelihood of future injury and improving physical performance. The premise of AiM is to encourage the body to move in ways that it has “forgotten” due to adaptation/compensation. By systematically encouraging each joint of the body […]

Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR)

P-DTR® is a revolutionary technique used to diagnose and treat various issues related to dysfunction of the nervous system. P-DTR® addresses issues at the level of the brain and its sensory receptors.

Shockwave Therapy (EPAT)

Shockwave Therapy (EPAT®) is a form of ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) which is an evidence based, emerging, proven treatment option for patients suffering from acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. EPAT® uses acoustic pressure waves to safely increase metabolism and blood flow, stimulating / enhancing healing of the injury. The microtrauma induced, triggers a cascade of […]

Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy (PEMF)

Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy involves directing powerful, pulsed energy waves toward damaged or injured areas of the patient’s body. These waves painlessly and quickly pass through the cells in the damaged region, increasing the spin of the electrons contained within them. This ultimately leads to enhanced cellular growth/healing, improved circulation and helps open […]

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy refers to a range of passive treatment modalities used in our clinic to maximize treatment efficacy. These modalities include ice packs, moist heat (hydrocollator), electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), therapeutic ultrasound, mechanical traction and spinal decompression therapy.

Fascial Movement Taping

Fascial Movement Taping is a rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process. It does this by decompressing areas of swelling and inflammation, enhancing coordination of movement as well as decreasing pain.
