Therapies

Electrical Stimulation and Therapeutic Ultrasound

Electrical stimulation is an effective therapy for treating painful joints, sore muscles, and swelling/edema.  Therapeutic ultrasound uses sounds waves to help speed the healing process of injured joints (spinal, knees, shoulders, etc.)  It also helps ease painful joints, swelling, strains and sprains.

Massage

The G5 massage instrument is an extremely effective tool for working at tight muscle knots and relieving tension from the back and shoulders. Following the chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Forbes will use the G5 to work out the painful muscle knots in order to prevent the tight muscles from pulling the vertebrae back out of adjustment. He has found this treatment helps people to stay in adjustment longer in addition to relaxing tight muscles of the shoulders and back.

Therapeutic Exercise Instruction

Therapeutic exercise instruction is given to patients to help stabilize their spines and prevent future injury.  Each patient will be given a specific set of exercises depending on their specific problem. At times, the Doctor may recommend a piece of exercise equipment needed to perform the exercises, which we sell at our office.
