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.
