- Medical MassageTherapeutic Massage Therapy is a special type of medical massage that focuses on releasing tension and improving circulation in painful, restricted areas of the body. Combining massage therapy with other treatment modalities greatly improves recovery time by improving circulation, calming muscle spasms, and increasing range of motion.
- Ultrasound TherapySince a majority of the patients with impingement get better with conservative management, we recommend physical therapy, massage therapy, and ultrasound therapy. In the early stages of bursitis, ultrasound therapy is an effective method to safely decrease inflammation, along with massage therapy aimed at safely breaking down scar tissue. Once a patient’s bursitis is stabilized, physiotherapy and joint manipulation can then be very effective in loosening up the related soft tissue, restoring flexibility and alleviating pressure and friction over the affected bursa.
- Electrical Muscle StimulationOne of the more highly effective forms of physical therapy employed by the trained technicians at Arizona Chiropractic Group & Medical is Electrical Muscle Stimulation, or EMS. EMS uses electric impulses to cause the muscles to contract. EMS therapy is commonly used in the prevention of muscle atrophy due to inactivity or neuromuscular imbalance, which can occur after musculoskeletal injuries.

- Spinal DecompressionSpinal Decompression can be a terrific source of relief for those suffering from back pain caused by herniated or bulging discs. By lying on a mechanical traction table that is controlled through a computer program, the spine experiences a gentle easing of the pressure between the spinal discs. This creates the capacity for oxygen, water, and nutrients to work their way backing into the disc space that was formerly too restricted.
