Electrotherapy

Pain Changes Everything. We Can Help.

Electrotherapy is not something you will find offered at every Chiropractic or Physiotherapy office. Our clients love that this is included at no extra cost as part of our service. Our staff are knowledgeable about which therapy is best suited for you.

Biphasic Current – This is by far our most popular electrotherapy current used. It is both stimulating and relaxing for muscles, and enhances blood flow through the tissues. Patients reports that it feels great and is commonly used after an adjustment orr physio treatment to relax general tension in the muscles.

Interferential Current (IFC) is a medium frequency waveform that feels like gentle tingling and massaging in the tissues. The current from four pads intersect giving you the desired results of decreased pain and inflammation in the tissues targeted. This is excellent for acute injuries like knee sprains, but is also effective for chronic problems and spinal disc syndromes.

Microcurrent (TENS): Microcurrent is a very mild current that you do not feel. It mimics the body's natural electrical current and helps restore that flow through injured sites. It is thought to work by increasing the cells ability to produce energy or fuel, thus making the cells healthier and more capable of healing. It primarily aims to provide a degree of pain relief, alleviation of stiffness and inflammation. It is often used for headaches or ligament/muscle injury. For management of chronic pain an inexpensive, high-quality portable machine can be ordered through your practitioner.
