Therapeutic exercise is the foundation of physical therapy. It involves a range of movements and activities designed to improve your strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. Our therapists will create a customized exercise program to address your specific needs and help you achieve your goals. This may include stretching, strengthening exercises, and functional activities that mimic your daily routines.
Therapeutic exercise is typically divided into three major categories:
Expect to have a combination of these therapeutic strategies throughout your treatment.
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to generate deep heat inside the body’s tissues. This can help to reduce pain, muscle spasms, and inflammation. Ultrasound is often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as exercise, to promote healing and improve tissue mobility.
How Therapeutic Ultrasound is Administered
In this treatment, ultrasound gel will be applied to your skin at the pain or injury point. This will reduce friction while the ultrasound-emitting wand is passed over the point of interest. The gel also helps transmit the ultrasound waves so they can penetrate the soft tissues in the problem area. Your skin will not feel much of the heat being transferred from the wand into the body.
Unlike cortisone injections, which primarily focus on blocking pain signals, our homeopathic injectables actively promote healing and reduce inflammation. This leads to longer-lasting relief and can help prevent future flare-ups.
Electrical muscle stimulation involves using low-level electrical currents to stimulate muscles. This can be used to reduce pain, improve muscle strength, and re-educate muscles after an injury or surgery. EMS can also be used to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling.
How Does Electrical Muscle Stimulation Work?
At Summit View Health Center, we will place electrodes on your body over the pain point or injured area. Once turned on, an electrical current is transmitted into soft tissue and/or muscle. The strength of the current will depend on the injury, the targeted area, and how deep the therapy should be.
The electrical current stimulates small but rapid muscle contraction, which can cause a prickly or tingling sensation. However, it is not usually unpleasant, and the sensation ceases when the current is turned off. EMS is meant to tire the muscles so they can relax. It also triggers the release of endorphins that help naturally relieve pain. EMS can be administered on various points, with the back and neck being the most common target areas.
