Physiotherapy in Heber Springs
Physiotherapy is a great complement to any chiropractic treatments you may already be undergoing. Dr. Rock uses several methods to help his patients experience improved circulation, mobility, and less pain and stiff muscles.
Intersegmental Traction Table
An intersegmental traction table helps Dr. Rock’s patients stretch their spine and loosen the muscles in and around the spine, allowing him to give a better chiropractic adjustment. It can also help patients get adjusted more easily from appointment to appointment.
This table helps relieve the pressure from the spine by increasing the space between the spine’s vertebrae, which in turn takes pressure off the nerves.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Dr. Rock uses electrical muscle stimulation to decrease spasms and speed soft tissue healing. The pain-free method sends electrical impulses through the skin. It helps chiropractic adjustment go much more smoothly and last longer between visits.
In addition to intersegmental traction and electrical muscle stimulation, Dr. Rock is a big believer in exercise and strengthening. Patients can expect to have exercises they can perform at home to help their bodies continue to improve. Vibration therapy can also be done as part of a patient’s physiotherapy, which will also work to loosen up fascia and help with the nerve response in patients.
Orthotics
As part of a patient’s overall health and wellness assessment, Dr. Rock will look at your range of motion, how your feet are aligned, your movement, muscle tone and your overall balance. If he observes a discrepancy in your balance affecting your entire body, he might suggest orthotics.
Orthotics can help aid patients with flat feet (fallen arches). They properly boost the foot and ankle to realign in the proper position, which then helps the foot and ankle function to its best level.
You’re in the Right Place to Heal
Physiotherapy modalities can greatly boost your chiropractic treatments, though they may not be for everyone. For certain conditions, like those patients who have pacemakers, there are limits to how Dr. Rock can treat you.
