Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation is electrical current that affects the area where the nerve connects to the muscle. It will exercise and thereby strengthen the muscle without injuring it. This procedure increases the circulation in the area through exercise, also promoting the healing and strengthening of the area of muscles involved.

Therapeutic Ultrasound
It is used by Doctors in the musculo-skeletal health fields – hospitals, medical doctors, dentists, osteopaths, podiatrists, chiropractors, and physical therapists.

Ultrasound is used by dentists to clean teeth. It is used by doctors, in the musculo-skeletal field, to clean the injured tissue to speed up proper healing. Use of ultrasound will shorten the treatment time, and usually, the treatment frequency.

Intersegmental Traction
Intersegmental traction is a special therapy table with built-in rollers and vibrating massage, which roll up and down your spine. You lie on your back and relax while the table does the rest. It is used to improve mobility and circulation in the joints of the spine. Due to its soothing effect on the spine and spinal nerves, it helps reduce tension and nervousness, as well as helps the spine to heal with more mobility and strength. This helps prevent recurring spinal injuries.
