Electro stimulation

    Sends electrical signals to underlying nerves to

    relieve a wide range of chronic and acute pain.


Laser therapy

     The light energy is absorbed and converted to

     biochemical energy, which stimulates the cells.

     Low-level laser therapy is believed to speed

     healing and reduce pain and inflammation.

     There are no known side effects to low-level

     laser therapy.


 Spinal decompression therapy

     The use of a mechanical traction device applied

     through an on-board computer that controls the

     force and angle of disc distraction.


Ultrasound therapy

     Uses high-energy sound waves (those above the

     range we hear) to help ease painful joints and

     muscles.


Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a specialized form of therapy

intended to alleviate both the primary and secondary problems

due to vestibular disorders. It is a program designed to reduce

vertigo and dizziness, reduce gaze instability, and/or reduce

imbalance and fall risk.
