Interferential Therapy (Electrical Stimulation): This therapy is used to relieve pain, stimulate the muscles, increase local blood flow, and reduce edema. Inferential therapy uses certain frequencies to treat muscle spasms and strains. The current produces a massaging effect over the muscles to stimulate the body's release of endorphins (the body's natural pain relievers), therefore relaxing strained muscles and helping soft tissue healing.
Class 3B Laser Therapy: This low level laser therapy is a pain-free, non-invasive treatment which is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. The benefits of low level laser therapy are:
- Relieves acute and chronic pains
- Increases the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair
- Increases blood supply
- Stimulates the immune system
- Stimulates nerve function
- Develops collagen and muscle tissue
- Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue
- Reduces inflammation
Ice and Heat Therapy: Depending upon the severity and length of time of the condition, both ice and heat can be used to reduce pain or the inflammation of the injured muscles or nerves. Cold therapy is often the best immediate treatment for recent injuries. It helps reduce swelling and controls pain.  Heat therapy is often used for patients with chronic pain. Heat therapy can reduce the patient's pain and also relax the sore, stiff muscles and/or joints and increase circulation.
