Electrotherapy​

Electrotherapy is a form of medicine that uses electrical current to speed wound healing, stimulate muscles, manage pain and much more.

At Pinnacle Chiropractic we offer the following modalities:

INTERFERENTIAL CURRENT (IFC)
IFC sends small amounts of electrical current through the skin to stimulate the tissues around an injured body part to promote pain relief and healing. IFC is safe and effective on patients who need pain relief due to inflammation, muscle strains or sprains and joint problems. The goals of IFC are to:
  • reduce pain
  • decrease muscle spasm
  • reduce swelling and inflammation
  • increase blood flow
  • promote healing


ULTRASOUND 
Ultrasound is a form of electrotherapy mainly used for its non-thermal effect, where high frequency sound waves cause vibrations and movements of cellular fluids.  Ultrasound is effective in improving the healing rate of certain soft tissues. 
Some common injuries that can be treated with ultrasound include:
  • bursitis
  • tendonitis
  • muscle strains and tears
  • osteoarthritis
  • ligament and tendon injuries
