  • picHot and Cold Therapy: Both hot and cold therapies offer their own set of benefits, and your physical therapist may alternate between them to get the best results. This reduces inflammation, muscle spasms, and pain.
  • picHydrotherapy/Aquatherapy: gently relieves pain and relaxes muscles.
  • picTENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation): uses electrical current to stimulate your muscles and reduces muscle spasms and is generally believed to trigger the release of endorphins, which are your body’s natural pain killers. TENS machine stimulates your muscles through variable (but safe) intensities of electrical current. TENS may increase your body’s production of endorphins, your natural pain killers. The TENS equipment your physical therapist uses is larger than the “at home” use machine.
  • picUltrasound for spine: By increasing blood circulation, an ultrasound helps reduce muscle cramping, swelling, stiffness, and pain. It does this by sending sound waves deep into your muscle tissues, creating a gentle heat that enhances circulation and healing.
