Adjunctive Modalities
Interferential/tens therapy
Tens will decrease pain help decrease muscle tightness and will facilitate the healing process. The patient will feel a tingling sensation with the tens on, however most patients feel this sensation is a comfortable sensation and it helps to decrease pain in both the acute and chronic phase.
Hydroculator therapy
Moist heat is used on every visit, the moist heat helps to decrease muscle spasm and most patients find it very relaxing.
Myofascial and Soft Tissue release techniques
If indicated, Dr. Olthuizen will use these techniques to release muscle tension and tightness on affected areas and joints.
Radiographs
X-ray imaging is used to view the spine and joints to see if there are any concerns related to recent or past events such as a traumatic injury sustained in a motor vehicle collision, sport related injury or recreational injury.
Dr. Olthuizen will determine if they are required for the patient after a thorough assessment. X-rays will also show if there are any areas that have wear and tear or degeneration. X-rays are covered by Alberta health care.
