Achy muscles, prolonged injuries, and lengthy bouts of inactivity do not have to be a way of life if you opt for physiotherapy at Broadway Chiropractic and Wellness. Our Midtown West Manhattan chiropractor offers various techniques that fall into this all-natural, non-invasive and feel-good category. We can use one or a combination of techniques to tailor an individualized recovery program designed to provide you with the speediest and most effective recovery.

Physical Therapy, Massage Can Be Part of Recovery and Pain-Relief Program

Physical therapy is typically an integral part of our healing and recovery plans. This type of therapy involves specific exercises and stretches meant to retain mobility, improve flexibility, and strengthen the affected area. We have facilities for you do perform exercises at our clinic and usually send patients home with gentle exercises and stretches they can continue to do on their own.

Massage therapy is another effective tool for alleviating pain and speeding up recovery. We offer various types of massage, all of which improve circulation, release tension, and can advance healing. Massage is not only beneficial for the body, but it can be incredibly soothing and relaxing for the mind. A stressed-out body reacts by pumping itself full of stress-fighting hormones that can keep you on edge, uncomfortable and lock your muscles into a tensed-up network that slows down healing and recovery.

Other techniques we employ for pain management and recovery include disc therapy and mechanical and intersegmental traction to realign and restore the spine as well as ultrasound and inferential electrical muscle stimulation to help with healing at the body’s cellular level. Utrasound and electrical muscle stimulation are particularly beneficial for soft tissue injuries, as are cryotherapy and moist heat therapy. Our use of cold in cryotherapy helps reduce swelling and inflammation while the heat in our moist heat therapy improves circulation and relaxes muscles.
