Chiropractic Adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment is the art of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is "locked-up" or not moving properly. This adds motion to the joint, helping the bones gradually return to a more normal position and motion. There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually, the doctor's hands or a specially designed instrument delivers a brief and highly-accurate thrust. Some adjusting methods are quick, others require a slow and constant pressure.

Muscle Stimulation
Gentle pulses of electricity are passed through the muscle to stimulate it to contract and then relax. This treatment provides pain relief for persistently tight muscles. Treatments include...
- Interferential Current (IFC) electrical muscle stimulation
- Pre-Modulated (Pre-Mod) electrical muscle stimulation
- Russian electrical muscle stimulation (Russian Stim)
Interferential current (IFC) is characterized by the crossing of two electrical medium, independent frequencies that work together to effectively stimulate large impulse fibers. These frequencies interfere with the transmission of pain messages at the spinal cord level. Because of the frequency, the Interferential wave meets low impedance when crossing the skin to enter the underlying tissue. This deep tissue penetration can be adjusted to stimulate parasympathetic nerve fibers for increased blood flow. Interferential Stimulation differs from TENS because it allows a deeper penetration of the tissue with more comfort and increased circulation.

Physiotherapy
The terms "Physiotherapy" and "Physical Therapy" refer to the same types of treatments. The Arizona State Board of Physical Therapy has legislation in place that does not allow other practitioners of Physical Therapy modalities to advertise them as Physical Therapy. However, Physiotherapy does refer to the same procedures that are performed at a standard Physical Therapy office. If you have insurance coverage for Physical Therapy, it usually covers Physiotherapy done in our office.
We provide the following Physiotherapy services and treatments:
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation of sports injuries
- Rehabilitation of work-related injuries
- Rehabilitation of chronically weak or injured joints and muscles
- Rehabilitative exercise
