The Therapies that we offer serve as an additional treatment to assist in patient recovery and healing. These therapies are painless and relaxing and are carefully integrated into each patient’s individual treatment plan. Most patients at Apex Chiropractic will have certain therapies incorporated into their treatment to assist in their recovery.
EMS is a special form of electrical current that involves the application of pads over an injured muscle region. The benefits of EMS are pain reduction, muscle relaxation and strengthening, swelling reduction, and increased circulation. Our patients find that EMS therapy is greatly beneficial for reducing soreness prior to their adjustments.
Cold Laser, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or phototherapy, uses low-powered laser light applied to the skin to stimulate a healing response. These lasers emit no heat, sound, or vibration, ensuring a non-invasive and secure experience for our patients. The light works on a cellular level, by stimulating damaged cells to repair and heal at an accelerated rate. Patients receive significant success from Cold Laser, as it can speed up the healing process up to 40% faster than your body would do without assistance! Cold Laser has been found to be highly effective for the following: osteoarthritis (including the hands), acute injuries (swelling, disc injuries, damaged muscles), pain reduction, and tissue regeneration. Our patients love the amazing benefits that they receive from Cold Laser in a short amount of time.
ISMT, also known as the “roller bed,” is designed to stretch spinal joints, improve spinal fluid circulation, and increase mobility. Patients lie face up on a bed with roller-type cams beneath its surface that gently roll up and down the spine, providing a comforting experience. Our patients appreciate the relaxation they feel on the roller beds prior to their adjustments.
Therapeutic Ultrasound involves applying high-frequency sound waves to a region of the body using a gel medium. The benefits of Ultrasound include calcium deposit breakdown (bone spurs), pain relief, reduction of muscle spasms, and increase of blood flow to speed up the healing process. Our patients can feel confident in the safety and effectiveness of Ultrasound therapy.
Cervical Traction is a device specifically applied to the neck region. Patients lie on their backs as their heads and necks are lightly stretched to improve disc spacing, remove spinal nerve pressure, and improve posture.
