Other Therapies
Some patients may need electric nerve stimulation therapy before or after the chiropractic Activator adjustment to relax tight muscles, reduce pain, or restore nerve communication pathways. Most patients find this therapy relaxing, which is why it is one of the most common non-adjustive therapies found in chiropractic offices.
Other patients may benefit from therapeutic ultrasound therapy before or after the chiropractic Activator adjustment to boost healing after ligament sprains or muscle strains, ease muscle pain, or reduce inflammation. Ultrasound is a form of deep heat delivered to a very specific part of the body, using focused sound waves.
Although Johnson Family Chiropractic of Peoria also offers an area for rehabilitation and physical therapy, Dr. Johnson may recommend specific exercises to be performed in your own schedule, in the comfort of your own home. Dr. Johnson recognizes that your road to health requires teamwork between the doctor and patient. Most patients prefer to accomplish some of the health care work on their own (for free!), instead of relying on the doctor to restore them to health.
