Muscles Stimulation

It is common for chiropractors to have muscle stimulation of the treatment area using minor electrical pulses. This improves the effects of chiropractic adjustment, relieves pain, and relaxes muscles.

Some chiropractors will use hands-on treatment procedures for spinal injury, lower back pain, and ligaments. Massages and stretching exercises are also used to loosen a patient’s stiff muscles and thus providing pain relief.
