Electrical Muscle Stimulation: Uses of pads placed on or around the injured area and/or muscle, which sends electrical pulses into the area. The uses of this is beneficial for reducing pain, increasing blood flow into the injured area, increasing healing. Also, it is sometimes used to prevent muscle atrophy by firing and activating the muscle, often seen in stroke patients, patients with neurological deficits, and/or post surgical patients. |

Intersegmental Traction: Is used to increase joint motion. It distracts the joint increasing motion allowing for better increased range of motion, relaxation of muscles, and also can sometimes reduce compression on nerves allowing better blood and nerve flow. |

Athletic Taping: Use of both support and neuromuscular re-educational (elastic therapeutic) taping. This is often used for increased support in sports injuries and prevention of further injuries. Support taping is often seen in ankle injuries allowing for better support. Neuromuscular re-educational taping is often seen in active athletes allowing for better muscle fuction, by relaxing overuse muscles and rehabilitating to facilitate underuse muscles. |
