Interferential Therapy is a therapeutic treatment to aid in the reduction of pain and the promotion of soft tissue healing.
Patient benefits:
Reduces pain
Decreases local swelling/edema
Promotes enhanced muscle tone
Releases endorphins, the body's natural painkiller

Electrical Stimulation Therapy is a special form of electrical current that is administered at or near the site of soft tissue injury, especially muscles, for the reduction of pain.
Patient benefits:
Reduces pain condition
Helps decrease swelling/edema

Trigger Point Therapy:
What is a Trigger Point and how does it work? A trigger point is an area of increased muscle metabolism causing nodules of muscle fibers and tenderness which interferes with normal muscle function. This can restrict normal range of motion and may refer pain to other parts of the body. The skin is gently pressed to locate underlying nodules of muscle fibers; the muscle is compressed with sustained pressure to relax it and 'break up' the nodules.
Patient benefits:
Reduces chronic muscle pain and muscle tightness
Improves muscle tone
Promotes better circulation
Enhances the range of motion and muscle function
Massage Therapy (Mechanical):
A mechanical massage is a technique using a mechanical apparatus to stimulate and relax the soft tissues of the body for pain reduction.
Patient benefits:
Increases circulation to the soft tissues and muscles
Increases metabolism to the area
Promotes the healing process
Cryotherapy is a term that describes the application of ice, ice massage, and ice compresses to the soft tissues to cause a vaso-constriction or reduced blood flow to the area in order to decrease swelling/edema.
Patient benefits:
Helps reduce swelling and inflammation
Numbs affected area and reduces pain
Thermal Therapy / Superficial Heat:
Hot packs are used to raise the temperature of soft tissues directly below the surface of the skin which causes a vaso-dilation/increased blood flow to the area.
Patient benefits:
Helps increase circulation
Relaxes muscle tension
Enhances joint function
