EMS is also used to treat muscle spasms and assist with workout recovery. Performed here in our office, EMS treatments take only a few minutes. Treat your acute or chronic pain by scheduling an appointment with Haralson Spinal Clinic & Wellness and Axiom Chiropractic.

Additional Therapies We Offer

Interferential Current Therapy

Interferential Current Therapy is an effective therapy method used to relieve pain and accelerate the self­-healing process. It is essentially a deeper form of electrical stimulation. To perform this method of treatment, electrodes are placed on the skin around the injured body part. An Interferential Current device is then used to transmit electrical impulses in minute quantities throughout your skin.

During the treatment, underlying tissue and nerves are stimulated which begins the healing properties. These impulses are not painful and can be described as a minor prickle on the skin. It can be used to treat stiff joints, joint injuries, edema, inflammation, and muscle spasms.

Microcurrent Therapy

Microcurrent therapy is a form of treatment used for patients with soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. Similar to electrical stimulation therapy, electrodes are placed on the skin over the affected tissue. Unlike electrical muscle stimulation, the microcurrents are very small, so you do not feel anything while the treatment is in progress.

Microcurrent therapy restores the electromagnetic field within your body so that the cells are back up to normal function. This speeds up healing. Microcurrent therapy has been shown to decrease pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. It may also help with the range of motion.

PEMF Magnetic Therapy

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is sometimes used to treat acute and chronic pain. This therapy treatment uses technology to stimulate and exercise cells to help resolve cellular dysfunction and to support overall wellness. This type of therapy is often used to treat pain and inflammation in joints, soft tissues, wounds, and more.

Rife Frequencies

Rife machines produce low electromagnetic energy waves which are similar to radio waves. Rife machines are often used by those seeking cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and is known to accelerate the healing process of a variety of clinical conditions. By definition, this type of therapy uses radiation intensities that induce minimal temperature elevation (not more than 0.1 to 0.5 degrees Celsius), if any. Low­-energy lasers have been promoted as an effective way to produce pain relief.
