Massage Therapy for Treatment

Physical Therapy often combines massage therapy to produce better and faster results. Massage can be very therapeutic when combined with proper physical therapy treatments. It helps decrease muscle spasms, increase range of motion, improve flexibility, and decrease pain.

New Cold Laser Treatments for Pain

Cold Laser is becoming a more popular and requested treatment. The laser is a painless and safe treatment that decreases pain, inflammation, muscle spasms, and edema. At the same time it increases blood flow and speeds the cells healing and repairing pathways. Cells, tissues, and injuries heal faster with cold laser treatments.

Gentle Chiropractic

At Alpha Chiropractic & Physical Therapy we utilize gentle chiropractic adjustments to decrease your joint pain. Activator Technique utilizes a hand held device to "tap the joints." It is the most gentle way a person can be adjusted.

Thompson Drop is another gentle way to adjust a painful joint. It involves a specialized table that picks up and drops down to nudge the joint forward. As a patient, you feel the drop of the tables, but not any pressure or popping. This works very well on painful arthritic joints and for people who do not want to hear a "pop or crack."

Flexion-Distraction Technique is a very popular technique for decreasing low back pain. It is commonly used on Sun Lakes Residents with chronic low back pain, herniated discs, arthritis, and painful muscle spasms.

The table is designed to bend in half and rotate. This movement helps stretch the low back and opens up painful joints. People describe a gentle stretch and relief during the procedure. It is a very gentle way to increase joint range of motion and decrease low back pain.

Spinal Disc Decompression

Disc decompression therapy or traction therapy is another treatment we often use on Sun Lakes residents. A specialized table stretches and decompresses the joints relieving pain. It can be used in low back pain or cervical disc treatments. For more information click HERE.

By stretching and pulling the joints gently apart, the treatment speeds blood flow and healing. More blood and nutrients can get to the injured joints and discs. Disc decompression is best utilized with active physical therapy to prevent future disc injuries.

Our office provides many therapies and techniques to help get you pain free faster. By listening and working with you, we achieve the results you desire.
