Physical Modalities

Because of the acute nature of some patient's conditions and the chronic nature of other patient's conditions various physical modalities are used in conjunction with the adjustment to...

1. aid in the healing of the strained and splinting soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons) along the spine.

2. reduce swelling.

3. relax the paraspinal musculature in preparation to an adjustment.

4. increase blood flow to injured soft tissue to allow a speedier recovery.
