• Intersegmental Traction (roller table) opens up each of the vertebrae, creates motion through each of the joints of the spine, massages perispinal muscles, promotes relaxation.
• Vibratory Massage (Thumper) relaxes and loosens tense muscles, making adjustments easier.
• Ultrasound is useful to enhance healing for chronic musculoskeletal conditions, disbursing muscle spasms and breaking up tissue. Resolves trigger points.
• Short-Wave Diathermy is a deep-heating treatment for lung inflammation such as bronchitis and pneumonia as well as adhesive disorders such as subcapular bursitis.
• X-Rays are used only when specific circumstances (such as trauma from a car accident or fall) or potential disease (cancer, tumor, arthritis) is present. A proper exam and history can most often be enough to move forward with treatment. No onsite equipment. Patients are referred to a radiologist for xrays.
• Nutritional Supplementation is available and encouraged for some patients. Dr. Gretchen offers a selection of vitamins, minerals and metabolic support systems.
