Electric Muscle Stimulation

If you are dealing with acute or chronic pain, electric muscle stimulation is often not the first treatment option presented to you, but it is effective. More common than that, people ignore their injury or try to prevent the pain with medication. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we provide patients with EMS treatment and have great success healing patient’s neck, back and joint pain.
 
EMS treatment mimics the body’s nervous system by sending low frequency electrical pulses to the affected area. This will cause he muscles to contract and increase the blood circulation to the area. By utilizing and encouraging the body’s natural healing mechanisms, Dr. Christopher Brill is able to drastically reduce patient’s dependence on medications and unnecessary surgeries to resolve painful symptoms.
 
EMS therapy is a great tool for patients with the following conditions:
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Muscle Atrophy
  • Muscle Spasms
  • Sciatica
  • Sports Injuries
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Ulcer
EMS is a great tool for chiropractors. If you are suffering from any of the above conditions, call Dr. Brill to schedule an appointment 757-873-4131. You can also visit www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com to learn more about other services Dr. Brill offers.
 
Yours in Good Health,

Intersegmental Traction Tables

Intersegmental traction tables gently help reestablish the normal ranges of the body’s spine. These tables also help facilitate muscle relaxation and reduce muscle spasms. It has been shown that daily use of an intersegmental traction table greatly accelerates recovery progress from a back injury. We utilize this technology at Therapeutic Solutions LLC so our patients are not only comfortable while on the table, but they are actually working with them to improve their health.
 
When the spine's postural muscles (the muscles that hold you upright) are traumatized, or negatively impacted from an accident, injury, fatigue, or poor posture, spasms occur. Our intersegmental traction table carefully lengthens the postural muscles of your spine in a comfortable, even manner and allows normal joint motion, circulation and mobility to return.
 
During a 10-minute session, the intersegmental roller table interacts with your body in a massage-like fashion. The contact pressure can easily be adjusted to suit individual needs and sensitivities. Thanks to its quiet, unique and precision-patented motion design, the intersegmental traction table treats all body sizes, shapes, and weights equally and effectively, including children.

Chiropractic Care and Whiplash

Whiplash


When the body is thrown forward, the head has a tendency to snap forward and then backward again.  This commonly results in an injury known as whiplash, affecting the soft tissues of the neck.  The discomfort can even extend to surrounding muscle groups in your head, chest, shoulders and arms.  Patients may experience:


 



  • Decreased range of motion

  • Tightness in the neck

  • Muscles feeling hard or knotted

  • Tenderness

  • Headaches at the base of the skull


 


Although whiplash is often a result of auto accidents, they can also develop from roller coasters, amusement park rides and sports injuries.  If you are experiencing whiplash, chiropractic care can help relieve tension and correct misalignments that encourage your overall healing process.  I invite patients who have recently been in an auto accident, or think they may be experiencing whiplash, to visit my practice for an evaluation.
