Therapies & Techniques from a Chiropractor on Our Chiropractic Care Team

When you think about chiropractic care, spinal manipulation is probably the first thing that comes to mind. However, a skilled chiropractor can do much more than chiropractic adjustments. 

At Advantage Spine and Disc, in Boise, ID, we offer a variety of therapies and techniques to relieve many common conditions. If you are suffering from pain, or simply want to feel your best, we can help. Here are a few of the therapies and techniques that we offer:

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is a high-tech, non-invasive treatment option that can be beneficial for many conditions. If you are suffering from back pain, neck pain, or chronic pain in your muscles or joints, cold laser therapy can help give you relief. 

The treatment uses a low-level laser to penetrate into the tissues and help trigger your body's natural healing ability. It can quickly reduce inflammation, which is often an underlying cause of pain. Laser therapy can also help stimulates new cell growth, which can help speed healing and increases collagen production for better flexibility and strength in the tissues. 

You'll simply relax while your chiropractor applies the laser to your problem areas. You may feel a mild warming sensation.

Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim)

We can also help patients find relief from pain with E-stim, or muscle stimulation. This treatment uses a mild electric current to stimulate muscles in the targeted area. 

It can be useful for many conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and arthritis. If you have muscle pain or a recent injury, e-stim can help you regain muscle strength and flexibility and relieve pain. 

Our muscles are constantly contracting and relaxing. When you relax your muscle, it lengthens or stretches. When you contract the muscle, it becomes smaller and tighter.

E-stim can help improve strength and flexibility, increase blood flow, and prevent muscle atrophy. It can also help release endorphins, which are your body's natural pain killers. 

Myofascial Release 

Your muscles are surrounded by tissue called myofascia. These tissues can provide support for your muscles and help connect them to other parts of your body.

During myofascial release treatments, your chiropractor will use gentle massage techniques to release the tension in the myofascia. This can help relieve your pain and increase your flexibility.
