Passive Therapy Modalities Help Speed Up Healing
At Kernetics Wellness Center, Little Elm, Texas we offer several non – invasive passive therapy modalities that help speed up healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Some of the modalities used at our office are EMS (Electrical muscle stimulation), IST (Intersegmental traction) and Therapeutic Ultrasound.
EMS Therapy
EMS (Electrical muscle stimulation) can help treat musculoskeletal injuries or ailments. EMS is a common and effective way to: Relieve discomfort and pain as well as reduce muscle spasm.
IST Table (Intersegmental traction)
The benefits of the traction table are:
- Accelerates recovery from injury.
- Restores the normal range of motion in the spine.
- Helps reduce muscle spasms that can be caused by weakened postural muscles or spinal injuries.
- Helps increase blood flow to your discs, ligaments, and muscles, which can improve balance and strength.
Ultrasound Machine
Therapeutic Ultrasound is a noninvasive procedure that’s usually pain free and can be completed in 15 minutes. At Kernetics Wellness Center, we use it on our patients suffering from severe tissue damage from sport injuries or an auto accident. The benefits of the Ultrasound therapy are:
- Increase blood flow
