Our Physiotherapy Services
At Harrison Chiropractic Center, some of our physiotherapy modalities include:
Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
Electric muscle stimulation is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical impulses to trigger muscle contractions. This treatment helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and stretch tight tissues. EMS is particularly effective for patients recovering from injuries or surgeries, as it aids muscle re-education and strengthens weakened muscles.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy utilizes sound waves to vibrate deep tissues, reducing inflammation and stimulating tissue repair. This non-invasive treatment can help alleviate pain associated with soft tissue injuries, such as strains and sprains. By increasing blood flow, ultrasound therapy supports the body’s natural healing processes.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves the application of cold therapy to reduce inflammation and numb pain in the affected areas. At Harrison Chiropractic Center in McHenry, Illinois, we often use this modality early in the treatment of acute injuries, such as sprains or strains, as it helps minimize swelling.
Moist Heat Therapy
Moist heat therapy involves the application of warm, moist heat to relax muscles and improve circulation. This treatment alleviates muscle tension, stiffness, and chronic pain. By increasing blood flow to the affected area, moist heat therapy increases flexibility, making it an excellent option for patients with muscle or joint discomfort.
Intersegmental Traction
Intersegmental traction is a specialized technique that uses a traction table to gently stretch the spine. This therapy relieves pressure on spinal joints and discs, allowing them to return to their healthy positions and receive an influx of fluid and nutrients. Dr. Harrison in McHenry, Illinois, can apply this technique to both the cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
