衝擊波治療
衝擊波是具聚焦性且高能量的聲波,能有效刺激受傷組織的生物化學變化,近年己被廣泛應用於肌肉、筋腱及骨骼組織的勞損性痛症。研究亦顯示衝擊波能治療肩膀鈣化性筋腱炎、骨折癒合不良、肌腱炎、筋膜炎及肌肉勞損等,均有良好的效果。由於具有高能量,他透過對患處組織造成微細損傷,從而刺激新血管生長,加速血液循環,並誘發新的發炎過程,從而喚醒細胞的自我修復功能。此外,衝擊波的高能量也能大量刺激痛覺神經受體,達到即時止痛的效果。

Ultrasound therapy helps to repair injury by increasing circulation at the injury site: circulation is a critical part of the healing process because it brings nutrients to and removes wastes from the site of injury. The application of ultrasonic waves also causes the soft tissue to heat up, which reduces pain and muscle spasms. Ultrasound therapy uses high frequency (ultrasonic) waves to repair damage to the body’s soft tissues (muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, etc.).
Electrotherapy uses mid-frequency electric currents to increase blood flow, gently exercising the muscles to promote relaxation and pain relief. When muscles are in pain and spasm, the spinal joints are also restricted in movement. Interferential current therapy supports chiropractic treatment by first relaxing tense muscles.
Orthotics are custom-made insoles that are placed inside a person’s shoes to realign the limbs and torso into their correct biomechanical positions. It can effectively improve the following conditions: pes planus (flat feet), feet pronation, chronic recurrent ankle sprain, plantar fasciitis.
Shockwave therapy for pain relief
The flexion-distraction technique is a gentle and effective method for performing spinal decompression, especially for conditions that show signs of nerve impingement (eg. Disc prolapse, spinal stenosis, sciatica and spondylolisthesis)
Seated cervical spine traction to reduce problems caused by nerve root tension.
Exercise therapy is an integral part of spinal healthcare and injury recovery. A personalized exercise therapy program can reduce pain and develop a patient’s flexibility, strength and stamina.
Kinesiotaping are used worldwide to treat sports injuries and enhance performance.
