Chiropractic care really isn’t what it used to be decades ago. There have been big tech advances made, and new treatment modalities are available now to help people with pain and symptoms.
That’s part of our philosophy at Sizemore Chiropractic. We put these kinds of new treatments in play every day, as we consult with patients and schedule treatment in our modern office.
As a non-invasive way to approach holistic health, chiropractic can offer a surprising diversity of services to help people feel better and get better quality of life. Here are just a few of the things that we’re doing at Sizemore Chiropractic to serve the local community, whether patients are suffering from car accident injuries, sports injuries, or other damage to the body.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
It’s surprising how many people have never heard of therapeutic ultrasound at all. We still associate the word “ultrasound” with labor and delivery.
These days, you don’t have to be a pregnant woman to benefit from an ultrasound appointment.
Here’s how it works in a nutshell – the ultrasound technology delivers heat deep within body tissues, such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. That treatment produces a chemistry that can help people with osteoarthritis or various conditions to alleviate pain and feel better and increase range of motion and mobility every day.
Electrical Stimulation Therapy
Also known as TENS, this type of new treatment works through radiating electrical energy to areas of the body. Again, this sets off responses in the body that can help with various types of nerve or muscle pain or other health conditions.
Cryotherapy and Thermal Therapy
In a sense, we’re talking about something that similar to the application of hot and cold packs, but in a more specific way, this kind of treatment presents another frontier in chiropractic care.
Chiropractors can reduce inflammation and help patients with symptoms by utilizing nitrogen gas, which has been evaluated for dealing with musculoskeletal issues.
A rapid drop in skin surface temperature can trigger protective mechanisms in the body. This is another powerful item in the modern chiropractor’s arsenal.
A Note on Supplementary Body Responses
Many of these cutting-edge treatments also work on the principle of improving circulation. We know that good circulation is important for the body. So in pursuing holistic health it makes sense that these treatments, which stimulate circulation, can be extremely beneficial in a real physical sense.
