Physical Therapy Techniques We Offer
At Okhowat Chiropractic, we use the following physical therapy treatments to support healing and relieve pain:
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and speeding up the healing process. The gentle heat generated.
Benefits: Effective for treating soft tissue injuries, joint pain, and muscle strain, ultrasound therapy accelerates healing and improves mobility.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS sends small electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, which helps to reduce pain and inflammation. This therapy improves muscle function by increasing blood flow to the affected area, promoting faster recovery.
Benefits: Ideal for relieving muscle spasms, strengthening weakened muscles, and reducing chronic pain associated with muscle strain or joint issues.
Cold Laser Therapy
Also known as low-level laser therapy, cold laser therapy uses laser light to penetrate tissues, reducing inflammation and relieving pain. It’s a non-invasive, painless method that targets injured areas directly, promoting cellular repair and recovery.
Benefits: Effective for treating conditions like tendonitis, sprains, and arthritis. It provides targeted relief for musculoskeletal conditions without heat or discomfort.
Interferential Current Therapy (IFC)
IFC therapy is a form of electrical stimulation that penetrates deeper into the muscles compared to traditional EMS. This therapy is designed to relieve deep-seated muscle pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.
Benefits: Ideal for chronic pain conditions, IFC is particularly effective for joint and muscle pain that is resistant to other therapies.
Heat and Cold Therapy
Alternating hot and cold packs are applied to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. Heat therapy helps relax muscles and improve circulation, while cold therapy numbs pain and reduces swelling.
Benefits: Effective for immediate pain relief and managing inflammation from acute injuries, such as sprains or strains.
