Physical Rehabilitation Modalities Used at Gonzales Chiropractic
- Exercise Rehabilitation: Therapeutic exercises help to alleviate pain by improving the muscle strength and flexibility. Our physical therapists are trained to restore mobility while often reducing the need for long-term use of prescription medications and their side effects.
- Chiropractic Adjustments: Spinal adjustments help to promote optimal nervous system function thereby reducing / eliminating pain and increasing the body’s ability to heal itself.
- Medical Massage: Coupled with chiropractic adjustments and exercise rehabilitation, massage therapy can help to relieve musculo-skeletal stress and pain for our patients.
- Flexion Distraction Decompression: Flexion distraction decompression is an amazing and proven technology that helps to treat disc injuries, back pain, sciatic nerve pain and more.
- Electrical Muscle Stimulation: Electrodes are placed on the effected areas of the patient’s body around the neck, back, shoulder, knee, ankle or wrist. The therapist will then adjust the controls of the machine until the patient feels a prickly sensation and is able to comfortably target the level of stim without burning, stinging or feeling a stabbing sensation. The stimulation will increase circulation and reduce swelling thereby reducing pain sensations.
