UNDERSTAND WHAT WE USE TO TREAT YOU
COMBO/ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment used in chiropractic care to promote healing and reduce pain in muscles, joints, and soft tissues. This advanced therapy utilizes electrical frequencies that penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular activity, enhancing circulation, and promoting faster recovery.
Tecar Therapy (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It works by generating heat deep within tissues, improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and accelerating recovery. Commonly used in sports medicine and rehabilitation, Tecar therapy helps relieve pain, enhance mobility, and speed up healing in muscles, tendons, and joints—making it a powerful tool for both acute and chronic conditions.
TECAR THERAPY
ARTHROSTIM
ArthroStim is a handheld chiropractic instrument designed to deliver rapid, gentle, and targeted adjustments to the spine and joints. Unlike manual adjustments, the ArthroStim uses controlled mechanical pulses to stimulate nerves, reduce tension, and realign misaligned areas with precision. It's especially beneficial for patients who prefer a softer approach, including children, seniors, and those with sensitive conditions. The result is effective pain relief, improved mobility, and enhanced nervous system function—all without the twisting or popping often associated with traditional techniques.
ACOUSTIC WAVE
The Miracle Wave® is an advanced acoustic wave therapy device that uses sound pulses to treat musculoskeletal pain and support tissue healing. By delivering targeted shockwaves to affected areas, it enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and breaks down scar tissue. This non-invasive treatment is ideal for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and chronic muscle pain. Patients benefit from reduced discomfort, improved mobility, and faster recovery—without the need for drugs or surgery.
THUMPER MASSAGE
We use the Thumper Lithium8 Massager to provide patients with powerful, targeted muscle therapy. This cordless, professional-grade device delivers deep percussive massage using dual motors that work below the surface without irritating the skin. It’s especially effective for loosening tight muscles, improving circulation, and preparing the body for chiropractic adjustments.
ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
Electrical stimulation therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate nerves and muscles. At our clinic, we use this non-invasive treatment to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote muscle relaxation. It’s especially helpful for patients with muscle spasms, joint pain, or recovering from injury. By activating targeted muscle groups, electrical stimulation also helps improve circulation and supports the body’s natural healing process—making it a valuable addition to chiropractic care plans.
STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT
Chiropractic assistants also play a vital role in ensuring the proper use of these advanced tools. They are trained to operate specialized equipment with precision, ensuring that patients receive the full benefits of each therapy. Their expertise in handling modern chiropractic technology allows for a smoother, more effective treatment experience. By working alongside Dr. Santiago, they help create a seamless approach to care that prioritizes patient comfort and results.
