Say Goodbye to Aches and Pains with Our Modalities
As a specialized physical treatment method that uses mechanical energy to encourage the healing process, therapeutic modalities can help you recover, regardless of the pain or distress, you’re under. These treatments may be used for pain management or relief, injury treatment, and everyday activity improvement.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation is a safe and efficient treatment choice for pain relief and rehabilitation. While it might seem daunting at first, it is a very successful method of pain relief that many practicing physical therapists use every day!
This modality can produce an intrinsic and fully natural analgesic effect by stimulating specific sensory nerve fibers (such as A-beta, A-delta, and C fibers), which decrease pain sensitivity and release neurotransmitters that prolong the pain-relieving effects.
Traction
Traction is a form of decompression therapy that we are happy to offer at our Fairport, NY physical therapy practice. It relieves pressure on the spine and alleviates pain from joints, sprains, and spasms. It can also treat herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, and many other back conditions.
Traction is performed by skilled physical therapists and/or the use of mechanical units. There are two types of traction we utilize at Clark Physical Therapy
Mechanical Traction:
The specialized treatment technique of mechanical traction uses devices that work by stretching the spinal vertebrae and muscles.
Manual Traction:
With manual traction, our physical therapists use their hands to stretch the spinal vertebrae and muscles.
