Middleburg Heights Chiropractic Office Offers Chiropractic Therapies

Chiropractic is a natural health care system that serves the needs of an estimated 20 to 30 million Americans each year. The primary aim of chiropractic is to restore and maintain health by properly aligning the spine. Although the primary treatment method is spinal manipulation, chiropractors also use other therapies to treat their patients. Listed below are a few of these, and we recommend consulting with your doctor to find out which treatment is best for you.

Ice

Ice therapy is often used to reduce swelling and pain caused by acute injuries or flare-ups of a chronic condition. Properly applied ice lowers the temperature of the tissues directly on or below the skin's surface. This cooling numbs painful areas, constricts blood vessels, and helps relax muscle spasms.

Light Therapy

Consists of a 6-9 minute unattended Light Therapy treatment. By pre-treating before Decompression, the patient benefits from a relaxation of muscle spasms and relief of minor muscle and joint aches.

Heat

When applied to the skin, heat enlarges blood vessels below the surface and relaxes muscle tissue. Heat therapy can calm irritated tissues and increase circulation to help speed the healing process.

Traction Massage

During this therapy, the patient lies face-up on a unique table while a system of rollers moves up and down the spine. The rollers gently stretch the spinal joints, massage the back muscles, and help increase mobility.

Electro-Muscle Stimulation

Light electrical pulses are transmitted to specific body areas through electrodes placed on the skin. This therapy can be used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and swelling and help reduce muscle atrophy.

Decompression Therapy

Cleared by the FDA for Decompression of the intervertebral discs relieving pain associated with herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, or structural pressure causing low back pain. This is a NON-surgical procedure.
