Electric Muscle Stimulation

Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a special form of electrical current. It stimulates muscles by supplying an artificial contraction of spasm in order to fatigue muscles, which are in spasm. It is administered at the site of soft tissue injuries, such as muscle injuries, to block pain. Used to produce muscle contraction, decongestion, stretching of fibrotic tissue and hyperemia. 

Benefits of EMS: Reinforces healing of painful, stressed and injured tissues; restores muscle tone, thus restoring normal muscle function.

Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound is a form of deep heat therapy created by sound waves. When applied to soft tissues and joints, the sound waves are a form of micro-massage that help reduce swelling, increase blood flow, and decrease pain, stiffness, and relaxes muscle spasms. As well as being highly effective in treating calcium deposits, reduces nerve root irritation,  massages damaged tissues and speeds the healing process.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression therapy not only relieves the pain source, but treats the underlying cause. The Decompression therapy table creates a negative pressure inside the injured or inflammed disc, letting it retract naturally, thus revlieving disc pressure on spinal nerves. 
This usually brings much welcome relief from the pain involved. 

The gentle distractive forces of Spinal Decompression Therapy creates unloading of the pressure on the disc due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and important nutrient exchange to the injured area.

Your comfort and safety are of primary importance during DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy. Therefore, unlike any other decompression device, you have several positioning options. Only if you′re 100% comfortable will you be able to achieve the ultimate objective of complete rehabilitation of your discs and spine. During DTS Therapy, you′ll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which gently graduates to a peak over a period of several minutes.

Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, and most patients feel pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. It is important to remember however, that pain subsiding does not infer that your discs and spine are healed, so it′s critical that patients stick with the treatment protocol prescribed by their practitioners in order to achieve the full value of DTS Therapy.

Cold Laser Therapy

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has demonstrated the ability to significantly accelerate and enhance the body′s natural defenses and repair components in the presence of injury, inflammation and certain disease processes. By modifying the effect and limiting the duration of inflammation as well as enhancing specific repair and healing processes, LLLT is consistent in providing pain relief, reducing injury damage and loss of function, in addition to facilitating more rapid repair and stronger healed tissue structures.

Manual Manipulation

This treatment is done to increase joint movement at the segmental spinal level. This will further help with a reduction in pain, however it may also assist in less degenerative changes developing hopefully, to the affected joints in the future. This is a very gentle procedure and is usually without pain.

Manipilation is not limited to just back pain. It covers neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, TMJ disorders, wrist pain and elbow pain.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a principle, not a technique. The term "acupuncture" describes a family of procedures involving the stimulation of anatomical points on the body using a variety of methods.  Therefore, there are many ways to stimulate an pressure point other than a needle. Many chiropractic Doctors use electronic stimulation, laser beam or light massage to treat a pressure point. The principles of Acupuncture do not change, only the technique.

Acupuncture treatment may take place over a period of a few sessions to several weeks or more.

Dr. Alex Leybovich practices many different techniques from the traditional needles of acupuncture to the modern ways of electric stimlulating the acupressure points.

Chiropractic Care

The term "chiropractic" is derived from the Greek language and means "done by hand." Spinal manipulation has been practiced for thousands of years, and modern chiropractic care is more than a century old. Chiropractors have gained much respect in recent years, and many health care professionals will refer patients to chiropractors on occasion.

Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative medicine health care profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and their effects on the nervous system and general health. It emphasizes manual therapy including spinal manipulation and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation, and includes exercises and health and lifestyle counseling. Traditionally, it assumes that a vertebral subluxation or spinal joint dysfunction can interfere with the body′s function and its innate ability to heal itself.

Active Therapeutic Movement-ATM

Active Therapeutic Movement (ATM) provides immediate and long-lasting benefits to many back, neck, shoulder, pelvis, and hip pains. By definition ATM involves enhancing/improving any motion by initially stabilizing and respositioning the body areas that are causing pain relative to muscularskeletal issues and then implementing controlled movements or exercises towards the complain movement or compromised body area.

Our mission is to enable patients that sufferer with these pains to lead a normal life, controlling their problem independently. 

This will benefit your quality of life, reducing the time, trouble, and costs of repetitive individual back treatments.

Intersegmental Traction-IST

Intersegmental Traction (IST), when used in conjunction with the chiropractic adjustment, loosens the locked up joints and gives passive motion exercise and therapy that feed the disc between the vertebrae. This helps to return flexibility, elasticity, and preservation to that all-important disc space which protects the opening for the spinal nerve. Patients have described the feeling of IST therapy as the "magic fingers" approach to back care.

IST increases joint range of motion along with decreasing pain and muscle spasms. This is a very good therapy for people suffering from upper and mid back pain.
