The Johnston Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Johnston

Physiotherapy Services:

For those in acute or chronic pain we have a separate and distinct Physiotherapy Suite with cutting edge technology.  Many of our cases benefit from a combination of traditional chiropractic and the following services that we offer:

Spinal Decompression Therapy:

We utilize Spinal Decompression for treatment of cervical and lumbar herniated discs, protruding discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, sciatica and other more complex cases.  These benefits are achieved through spinal decompression. This method is a well documented, proven, non-surgical option for the treatment of moderate to severe back and neck pain.  Of those who undergo this treatment, only 4% will require surgery.  read more»

We use Nerve & Muscle Stimulation to help reduce muscle spasms, minimize pain and bring down inflammation.

Laser:

Laser Light Therapy.  This high-tech tool produces light in the red portion of the spectrum, which has been shown to assist in the healing of soft tissues. read more»

The basic unit of light is the photon. Each photon carries a unique amout of energy depending on factors such as wavelength. When we apply light to biological tissues the energy (photons) are absorbed into the cells and used to power metabolic processes. Our light therapy is in both the 660 and 880 nanometer range (one billionth of a meter), both in the infrared and also in the non-visible range. The end result is faster pain relief and recovery.

Intersegmental Traction & Massage:

Intersegmental traction adds gentle motion to each vertebral joint to increase circulation, reduce scar tissue and enhance the effectiveness of your adjustments. read more»

Diathermy:  Works great for bursitis, hip, shoulder or deep muscle pain.

Trigger Point Therapy:   The doctor utilizes trigger point therapy to reduce pain and allow adjustments to hold for longer periods of time.

By applying direct pressure or stretching of the affected muscle, we can reduce muscle spasms and flush out pooled blood and accumulated toxins. read more»

Moist Heat:   We use moist heat for your comfort when needed.

Ice: :  For acute injuries.
