Services
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment for chronic neck and back pain caused by bulging discs. This specialized traction therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs, promoting natural healing and improved mobility. Our clinic offers this advanced treatment as the only provider on Aquidneck Island.
Flexion Distraction
Flexion distraction technique uses a specialized table to treat lumbar spine issues. The controlled flexion motion combined with manual pressure helps improve spinal mobility and reduce disc pressure. This gentle, non-invasive approach effectively addresses lower back pain and sciatica symptoms.
Activator Method
The Activator method employs a precision instrument to deliver targeted adjustments. Using leg length analysis for diagnosis, this low-force technique effectively corrects joint dysfunction without manual manipulation. It's particularly suitable for patients preferring gentle treatment approaches.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation therapy uses controlled electrical currents to reduce pain and inflammation. This modality helps relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and accelerate healing. It's often combined with chiropractic adjustments for enhanced treatment outcomes.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy delivers deep heat to soft tissues through high-frequency sound waves. This treatment promotes healing by increasing blood flow and reducing muscle spasms. It's commonly used alongside spinal adjustments to address musculoskeletal conditions.
