Additional therapies provided by Chiro
Chiro is proud to provide patients with state-of-the-art, scientifically proven tools and methods for swift, natural healing. Benefits of using these machines are outlined below.
Shockwave Therapy
Radial Shockwave Therapy is an evidence-based treatment that involves passing low energy pressure waves into damages tissues such as tendons and muscles, this increase blood flow and stimulate repair whilst reducing pain and allowing your body to restart its own natural healing process.
Shockwave can help with Plantar Fasciitis, Myofascial Pain, Chronic Tendinopathies such as: Achilles, Patellar (Knee), Gluteus, Adductors, Proximal Hamstring, Tennis/Golfer Elbow, Distal Bicep, Calcific Tendinopathy.
Laser Therapy
Low Level Laser therapy is also now known as PhotoBioModulation, its action involves the modulation of the biological activity of the body through the controlled delivery of light.
The physiological responses to Low Level Laser Therapy involve stimulation of the body's natural healing processes, optimising repair and helping to restore normal cellular function.
Laser Therapy can help with arthritis like Rheumatoid arthritis pain and wound healing.
Ultrasound Therapy
The ultrasound machine works by sending an electric current through crystals found in the ultrasound probe — also known as the ultrasound wand. The probe vibrates, causing waves to travel through the skin to the body underneath. The waves transfer energy to the tissues to cause the desired effects.
Ultrasound can be used to treat a wide range of health problems. It is most commonly used to solve problems in muscle tissue. The heating effect of the ultrasound helps to heal muscle pain and reduces chronic inflammation.
