Treatments

Traction is a physical therapy technique that applies force to separate adjacent bones, increasing joint space and stretching surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This spinal elongation relieves pressure on nerves, improves circulation, and is often used to treat conditions like disc bulges, spinal misalignment, and stenosis.

Strain Counterstrain is a gentle manual therapy technique that relieves muscle and joint pain by passively positioning the body to shorten spasming muscles and place joints in a position of comfort. This relaxation resets abnormal reflexes, reduces muscle tone, and restores normal joint function and range of motion.

Stretching is a therapy technique that increases flexibility and mobility in muscles, ligaments, and tendons, improving joint function, circulation, and tolerance for physical activity. It is commonly used in rehabilitation to relieve tightness and pain following injury, illness, or surgery.

Ultrasound therapy is a treatment used by physical therapists for its thermal and non-thermal effects, promoting healing and pain relief. It increases tissue flexibility, blood flow, and metabolism while aiding in inflammation reduction and soft tissue recovery.
