Our office uses a holistic approach. That is, we have found that doing just one thing (for example therapeutic exercises) has only a small effect on reversing the injury process. However, if the treatment session begins with several techniques (like myofacial release, massage, gentle muscle stretching, ultrasound, electric stimulation, moist heat, and postural training) and then proceeds with therapeutic exercise, the body is on the road to muscle repair and full recovery.

Far Infrared rays helps to stimulate the nerves and neural pathways in the muscles & joints. The increase in blood flow brings endorphins to the affected nerves endings providing a non toxic form of natural pain relief

Epsom salt/baking soda baths help. Take 1-2 cups of Epsom Salts and 1/2-1 cup of baking soda. Run hot water, add the salts, soak for 20 minutes. This works really well. Back To Top

The body (human or equine) is made up of a vast number of cells. In many ways, the cells of the body act like tiny batteries, storing and releasing energy. Each cell has a measurable electrical charge and therefore there is a constant energy flow maintained between cells throughout the electrical circuitry of the body. <> When damage or trauma occurs, there is a disruption in the production of electricity and a measurable decrease in the flow of energy through the tissues involved.

Yes it can! Simply by controlling excessive pronation with in the subtalar joint. As the foot rolls inward , which is called pronation, it will cause the leg to internally rotate inward. If excessive pronation exists it can cause the leg to internally rotate even more which causes a greater twisting of the leg upon the thigh which leads to knee pain.

Yes, Bindegewebsmassage (CTM) is used as a therapy independently but can complement other modalities once the CTM is administered.

Local anesthetic dulls only the skin surface, and is costly. Also, it may make venipuncture more difficult by obscuring the vein and requiring a second scrub to sterilize the skin.

A. Cold-water fish oils block inflammatory interleukins and produce odd-numbered prostaglandins that significantly modulate inflammation. Effective doses range from five - fifteen one gram capsules of cold-water fish oils, containing 2,000-6,000mg of the active EPA and DHA fatty acids. Salmon oil is generally the richest and cleanest source of omega 3 fatty acids. Look for pharmaceutical grade, or valid testing for heavy metals.

This is something a doctor (sometimes more than one doctor ) must decide. The question is often how large a dose is permissible, for it is well known that morphine in high doses can shorten life as well as reduce pain. Emails have come our way from doctors, complaining about hospital pharmacists who object to releasing the amount of morphine doctors wish to use. We believe that to know the wishes of both the patient and the close carers can often help doctors.

Bad posture can have such a big impact on the body. When our bodies aren’t in proper alignment, muscle groups get overstretched and over used while the opposing muscles become tight from being underused. The result is muscle pain or spasms.

Until recently, a major factor contributing to the lack of a clear treatment protocol has been the fact that researchers did not fully understand the physiology of muscle tension and muscle pain. They were also puzzled because they knew that pain canít be felt in muscle tissues. This is due to our basic anatomy. In order to feel pain, you need free pain receptors in the muscle fibers. However, there arenít any free pain receptors in muscle fibers.

The relatively few pain receptors that reside in the muscles are not freely accessible to their surroundings. They are protected by a hard capsule inside small anatomical sites called muscle spindles. These are about the size of a grain of rice. These spindles, randomly dispersed throughout all skeletal muscle, but more concentrated at the back of the neck, are filled with liquid and contain even tinier muscles called intrafusal fibers.

Some scenarios can disturb the health and balance of tissue metabolism causing pain, stiffness and decreased mobility. They are: stress, overactivity, under-activity, diabetes, incorrect body mechanics or injury. Massage therapy can help muscles recover. Massage imitates the wringing effect of normal muscle action. When the muscle is bogged down or in spasm, massage can hasten the elimination of irritating by-products, break-down adhesions, and speed up the inflow of nutritive substances.
