Passive Therapies

When pain or tension drains your energy, passive therapies can step in, so your body can heal while you rest. At Active Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture, these advanced treatments complement your adjustments to accelerate recovery and restore comfort, without extra work on your part.

Promote Pain Relief

Passive therapies like cold laser and E-Stim help alleviate pain by reducing inflammation and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

Enhance Circulation

Treatments like ultrasound and spinal decompression increase blood flow to injured areas, speeding up recovery and reducing swelling.

Reduce Muscle Tension

Techniques such as roller tables and ultrasound therapy relax tight muscles, improving comfort and preparing the body for active treatments.

Healing Without Strain

Non-invasive therapies work gently on the body, making them ideal for managing acute injuries or chronic conditions without added stress.

Our Advanced Passive Modalities

Roller Table Therapy. Gentle rhythmic motion helps your spine relax, improves flexibility, and primes joints for adjustments.
E-Stim (Electrical Stimulation). A soothing “electric massage” that eases tension, releases endorphins, and supports muscle activation.
Ultrasound Therapy. High-frequency sound waves penetrate deep, easing inflammation and accelerating soft-tissue repair.
Cold Laser Therapy. Low-level light energy jump-starts cell repair, soothes pain, and promotes healing without heat.
Spinal Decompression Therapy. Gentle traction relieves pressure on discs and nerves, helping with herniations, sciatica, and chronic back issues.

E-Stim (Electrical Stimulation)

E-Stim therapy uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate the muscles, creating a relaxing and therapeutic "electric massage" effect. This treatment targets muscle tension and pain, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Benefits of E-Stim Therapy:

Pain Reduction: E-Stim blocks pain signals and promotes the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
Muscle Relaxation: It reduces tension in tight or overworked muscles, allowing them to function more effectively.
Enhanced Recovery: By improving circulation and stimulating muscle activity, E-Stim accelerates healing after injury or strain.

This therapy is particularly beneficial for conditions like muscle spasms, chronic pain, and post-injury recovery.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating blood flow and reducing inflammation in the affected area. This non-invasive treatment is ideal for promoting tissue repair and relieving pain.

Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy:

Increased Circulation: Sound waves stimulate blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues.
Reduced Inflammation: The therapy targets swelling and inflammation, easing discomfort and promoting healing.
Soft Tissue Repair: Ultrasound is especially effective for addressing ligament, tendon, and muscle injuries.

This therapy is often used for acute injuries, chronic pain conditions, and post-surgical recovery to accelerate healing and reduce downtime.

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), delivers focused light energy to tissues, stimulating cellular activity without generating heat. This treatment is highly effective for managing pain and inflammation in a variety of conditions.

Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy:

Pain Relief: By increasing circulation and reducing inflammation, cold laser therapy helps alleviate both acute and chronic pain.
Faster Healing: The treatment accelerates cellular repair and regeneration, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: This safe, medication-free therapy is ideal for patients seeking holistic pain management solutions.

Cold laser therapy is particularly effective for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and nerve pain, offering relief without the need for surgery or medications.

Life-Changing Benefits You’ll Feel

Fast relief from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches
Increased mobility and flexibility you thought you lost
Better posture, fewer aches in your ordinary moments
Lower stress and tension, deeper calm throughout your day
Greater energy to do the things you love — not just endure them

Spinal Decompression Therapy

For patients dealing with disc injuries, herniations, or chronic back pain, spinal decompression provides a gentle, non-surgical solution. This therapy works by slowly and carefully stretching the spine, relieving pressure on the spinal discs and nerves.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy:

Disc Healing: By reducing pressure, the therapy encourages rehydration and healing of damaged discs.
Pain Relief: Spinal decompression alleviates nerve compression, reducing symptoms like radiating pain, numbness, and tingling.
Improved Mobility: By addressing the root causes of back pain, this therapy helps restore movement and functionality.

Spinal decompression is a state-of-the-art treatment for conditions like sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and bulging or herniated discs.
