Physiotherapies

Decompression therapy is mechanically produced axial traction. It is used primarily for lower

back and neck issues, including spinal disc degeneration, disc herniations, and nerve compression syndromes. Treatment is painless, takes between 8 and 20 minutes per session, and is about 85% effective for chronic low back and neck pain conditions.

Ultrasound is high frequency sound energy that penetrates deeply into the tissues. We use it to reduce pain,

decrease inflammation, increase circulation, increase tendon flexibility, and stimulate the healing process. Ultrasound can be used alone or can be combined with Electrical stimulation for added effect.

Various types of electrical energy can be applied to tissues of the body to reduce muscle spasm

and tightness, reduce pain, decrease inflammation. Electrical stimulation can be delivered to the body by "sticky electrodes" or can be combined with Ultrasound therapy for added effect.

Shockwave is mechanically produced sound energy that can penetrate deeply into muscles,

tendons, and ligaments. We use shockwave therapy primarily to break up calcium deposits in tendons, increase circulation, re-organize injured tissues, and stimulate the healing process.

Laser therapy is used for people of all ages with little to no sensation during treatment.  Laser therapy can help to reduce pain and inflammation while increasing circulation. It also promotes increased tissue healing.  

Vita Light Therapy Bed is designed to harness the power of light to improve and optimize overall health and wellness. The Vita Light Bed can help to relieve pain, increase energy levels, elevate mood, and much more. 

Diathermy is a type of electrical energy that is in the form of a radio wave. Therefore, diathermy

energy can penetrate very deeply into the tissues, producing a deep therapeutic heating sensation. Diathermy is primarily used to decrease pain, increase circulation, and stimulate healing of deep tissues, especially of larger areas such as backs, hips, thighs, and chest.

PEMF is magnetic energy that is applied to the tissues in pulsed fashion. The

magnetic pulses penetrate entirely through the tissues. As magnetic energy travels through the tissues, it imparts added electrical charge to cells and organs Think of PEMF as a type of human battery charger. When the cells have good electrical charge, they tend to heal faster and detoxify better. PEMF can stimulate healing, reduce pain, decrease inflammation, improve lymphatic drainage, and restore vitality.

PET involves exposing the body to specific wavelengths of light energy. The light energy

(photons) can penetrate through the skin into the body where they can produce a number of systemic effects, including pain relief, decreased inflammation, increased circulation, improved wound healing, and increased energy production. We also use PET therapy as an adjunctive cancer therapy.

RET is an energy device that is used to increase energy production within our cells. Our

cells are electrical by nature and have measurable electrical voltage. When the charge in our cells is higher, the cells have a greater ability to expel toxins, and recover from illness. Think of RET as a trickle-charge human battery charger!

High frequency sound energy can be applied to the body through an ultrasonic sound head

transducer. First, special sound-sensitive chemicals called "sono-sensitizers" are administered, which tend to accumulate preferentially in diseased tissues. When high frequency sound energy is then applied to the body, the special sono-sensitizers within those cells produce expanding cavitations (bubbles). This process disrupts the cell, resulting in cell death. SET is most often used as an adjunctive cancer therapy. 

MET is a pulsed magnetic therapy very similar to PEMF (See above), except that the magnetic frequencies are delivered to the entire body.
