Therapy Methods Offered at Unruh Spine Centers

We offer a number of innovative therapy methods to help you achieve a life without pain and discomfort. 

Types of therapies we offer at Unruh Spine Centers:

• Muscle Stimulation: Muscle stimulation or electrical stimulation (e-stim) is a state-of-the-art method of reducing muscle pain. It works by stimulating the muscles and nerves through electrical pulses. The procedure is generally painless and can be used to treat any number of conditions, such as back pain, fibromyalgia, joint pain, or a spinal cord injury.  

• Ultrasound: Ultrasound physical therapy, also called ultrasonography, is a revolutionary way of diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues. Ultrasound can be used to reduce pain and inflammation. It can also help speed up recovery after an injury and helps increase the flow of fluid in tissues. 

• Flexion: Flexion distraction is a type of therapy that focuses on stretching the spine. It is a series of lumbar exercises designed for people who suffer from low back pain. Benefits of flexion therapy include reduced pressure on the spinal discs and improved lumbar stability.  

• Redlight: Redlight therapy (RLT) is a laser or light treatment that can help to improve skin damage and reduce pain and inflammation. It is done by exposing the body to low levels of red or near-infrared light. The light causes cells in the body to make more energy, speeding up recovery.  

• Laser: Laser therapy is a type of treatment that can help improve blood flow, reduce pain, and heal damaged tissue. The therapy works by exposing the skin to a low-level laser. The laser triggers a response in the cells to help the body produce more energy and decrease inflammation. 

• Shockwave: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) or shock wave therapy is a noninvasive treatment commonly used in sports medicine. It involves sending shock waves to targeted areas of the body to reduce inflammation and rapid healing. The shock waves help to release growth factors in the affected tissue.

• DRX: DRX Spinal Decompression therapy is a technique that reduces pressure on the spine to alleviate back pain. The device provides a non-invasive, non-surgical alternative to dealing with chronic back problems that millions of people suffer from. 

At Unruh Spine Centers, we are proud to offer world-renowned therapies and techniques to our patients. We provide comprehensive treatment plans that include a wide range of options to meet our client's needs and fitness goals.
