How

Laser Therapy
Or Low Intensity Laser Therapy, the Bioflex System utilizes superluminous and laser diodes of specific wavelengths and power output up to 2,000 mW to irradiate abnormal tissue with photons. These particles of energy are absorbed by a variety of intracellular molecules, a process which initiates a number of positive physiological responses. In essence, light energy is converted into biochemical energy, facilitating the restoration of normal cell morphology and function (the light is absorbed energizes the tissue to heal itself ). The result of this process is designed to be curative with regard to clinical pathologies, rather than modulating symptoms, the conventional approach utilized in the management of pain.

Rehabilitation
When the body is injured, the ligaments, muscles, and tendons become weak. Without the strength of these supportive elements you would collapse like a rag doll. By the time many patients seek professional help; fibrotic scar tissue has changed the elasticity and strength of supporting muscles.

A program of carefully designed stretches and exercises helps restore better tone to these damaged tissues. Exercise therapy is an important part of this process. We use a set of repetitive stretching or strengthening maneuvers designed to develop weakened or injured muscle groups. Through this therapy, you can increase your range of motion, strengthen spinal structure, retrain damaged muscles, speed rehabilitation and help adjustments hold.


Physical Medicine
Interferential Electro-Therapy:
Electrical impulses induced into the tissues in the vicinity of the injury. A low frequency stimulation is created which prompts the body to secrete natural pain killers to help relieve pain.

Electro-Muscle Stimulation:
It is a special form of electrical current that is administered at the site of soft tissue injury, especially muscles, for the blocking of pain. Small amounts of electrical current are induced into the tissues for the purpose of reducing swelling. This technique safely strengthens muscles and helps reduce painful symptoms.

Ultrasound:
Therapeutic treatment using high frequency sound waves administered in the region of soft tissue injuries. Sound vibrations penetrate the tissues deep in the body, creating a heat response. These vibrations and heat help break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations.

Trigger Point Therapy:
A trigger point is an area of uncontrolled muscle tightness causing tenderness which interferes with normal muscle function. This restricts normal range of motion, weakens the muscle, and may refer pain to other parts of the body.


Massage
Massage works by kneading and stroking muscles to relax them, and uses friction to stimulate soft tissues. This therapy can increase blood and lymph circulation while breaking up scar tissue between muscle fibers.

Massage enhances joint and muscle function, improves circulation, increases metabolism, and promotes the healing process. Our trained therapists incorporate this type of therapy to increase the rate of success of the treatment plan.

Massage is useful in many conditions in which body relaxation, the reduction of swelling, and muscle mobilization is desired. Massage can also be helpful in overcoming the swelling and pooling of fluids at the site of recent injury or trauma.


Maintenance Care
This is the final stage of treatment and is designed to maintain improved health and spinal function and to prevent the original condition from returning.

Maintenance care is sometimes needed to maintain the progress that has been made in treating your condition. We are not only concerned about keeping you out of pain, but are equally concerned with maintaining the improvements that have been achieved.

Many of the conditions we treat have developed over years or even over a lifetime. Therefore, it would be unrealistic to think these problems could be eliminated in just a few short weeks or even months. Treating chronic, degenerative conditions like subluxations takes time.
