At Alive and Wellness, we complement gentle chiropractic adjustments with physiotherapeutic modalities that calm muscles, restore mobility, and support your body’s natural healing processes. These therapies are safe, non-invasive, and tailored to your individual needs.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic tension, or working to improve your posture and movement, our modalities offer additional layers of support for lasting results.
Our Physiotherapeutic Modalities
Electric STIM Therapy
When muscles tighten, spasm, or refuse to relax, it can create ongoing pain and limit movement. Electric STIM therapy uses small electrode pads placed on the skin to deliver mild, pulsing electrical currents directly to targeted muscle groups. These impulses mimic natural nerve signals, encouraging muscles to contract and release in a controlled rhythm while calming the nervous system.
Benefits of Electric STIM Therapy include:
- Relaxation of tight or spasming muscles
- Natural pain relief without medication
- Improved blood flow to support healing
- Faster recovery from injuries or overuse
- A calming, stress-reducing effect
Neuromuscular Re-education (NMR)
Sometimes pain isn’t only about the spine, it’s about how your muscles and joints work together. After injuries or years of poor posture, your nervous system can “learn” unhealthy movement patterns like slouching, limping, or guarding. Neuromuscular re-education (NMR) uses guided movements and cues to retrain these patterns, restoring efficient coordination and proper function.
Benefits of Neuromuscular Re-education include:
- Improved posture and healthier movement habits
- Restored mobility for daily activities
- Increased stability and reduced risk of re-injury
- Relief from stress on joints and muscles
- Reinforcement of chiropractic adjustments for longer-lasting results
Flexion–Distraction Therapy
Flexion–distraction is a gentle, non-surgical therapy performed on a specialized table that moves in a slow, rhythmic motion. This technique stretches and decompresses the spine, helping to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves while improving spinal mobility. It’s often used for disc injuries, sciatica, or chronic low back pain.
Benefits of Flexion–Distraction Therapy include:
- Reduced pressure on spinal discs and nerves
- Relief from sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Improved flexibility and spinal mobility
- Support for healing after injuries
- A comfortable, non-invasive alternative to surgery
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves applied through a small handheld device to penetrate deep into muscle and connective tissue. The vibration and warmth generated by the ultrasound waves help reduce inflammation, break down scar tissue, and improve local circulation for faster recovery.
Benefits of Therapeutic Ultrasound include:
- Reduced inflammation and swelling
- Breakdown of scar tissue and adhesions
- Improved circulation in injured tissues
- Faster recovery from acute and chronic conditions
- Enhanced comfort and mobility
