Physiologic Therapeutics

Different types of therapies are more appropriate for some treatments than others. Cryotherapy (ice therapy) and hot packs benefit the body by either reducing swelling and numbing pain or increasing circulation and relaxing muscle tension. Paraffin baths provide localized heat for target pain areas, such as chronic arthritis pain or chronic sports injuries.

Other physiologic therapeutics include Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS), also known as interferrential current (IFC). EMS is very effective in relieving pain through a small electrical current induced into the tissues. Another treatment, ultrasound, uses high frequency sound waves to increase blood flow, relax muscle spasms and promote healing.
