Therapies
Low Level Laser Therapy
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been shown to improve tissue repair, decrease pain and reduce inflammation. It can be a useful tool for acute or chronic tendinopathies, sprains/strains, neck and back pain, osteoarthritis, post-operative pain and tissue healing.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Ultrasound is often used to provide deep heating to soft tissue structures in the body. Deep heating tendons, muscles or ligaments increases circulation to those tissues, which is thought to help the healing process. Increasing tissue temperature with ultrasound is also used to help decrease pain.
Electric Muscle Stimulation
A therapeutic treatment that applies electrical stimulation in treating muscle spasms and pain. It can also help prevent atrophy and build strength in patients with injuries.
Hyperice Hypervolt and Rapid Release Therapy
Both Hypervolt and Rapid Release Therapy are state-of-the-art deep tissue vibration massage devices that help to relax sore and stiff muscles to improve mobility. These modalities help to compliment the other soft tissue techniques utilized by the doctors at Proactive.
Kinesiotaping
The Kinesio Taping® Method is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting.
Graston
A trademarked therapeutic method for diagnosing and treating disorders of the skeletal muscles and related connective tissue. The method employs a stainless steel instrument utilized on soft tissue to detect and resolve adhesions in the muscles and tendons.
