Physical Rehabilitation
At Great Plains Chiropractic and Wellness in Sioux Falls, SD, we focus on rehabilitating the spine and body. We specialize in giving our patients the best combination of natural and holistic therapies for a custom treatment program and a unique and gentle pain-relieving experience. From the first day of treatment to the last, you can rest easy and know that you receive the best in our “patient-centered” healthcare facility. Our focus is on giving each of one of our patients the total attention and care they need to get out of pain fast and help them stay pain-free.
After a complete evaluation and your diagnosis have been given, a specific and individualized care program will be given to you to speed up your recovery. We focus first on relieving the inflamed and injured areas using natural therapies and chiropractic care. Then, after the inflammation is reduced, one of our expert Chiropractors assists our patients in rehabilitating the weakened and injured areas to help them regain the strength they need to restore their health and revitalize it.
Additional Therapies
Our practice offers additional therapies to support your care to expedite the healing process.
Below are the services that our practice provides at our state-of-the-art facility:
Traction Therapy
Traction therapy reduces pain related to protruding and herniating discs, degenerative disc disease, facet joint disorders, spinal root impingement, compression fractures, and more. It is a non-surgical traction-based treatment outcome for herniated or bulging discs in the neck and lower back. The treatment is delivered by an intersegmental traction table that will increase spinal mobility, restore normal biomechanics, and accelerate disc healing.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a form of deep heat therapy created by sound waves. When applied to soft tissues and joints, the sound waves are a form of micro-massage that helps reduce swelling, increase blood flow, and decrease pain, stiffness, and spasms.
Therapeutic ultrasound benefits you in three primary ways. First, it increases the blood flow to the treated area to speed up the healing process by delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the area and removing cell waste. Secondly, specialized vibrations decrease swelling and edema to reduce pain. Finally, it increases the recovery rate of damaged tissue without adding strain and softens any scar tissue.
Electrical Stimulation
This type of therapy uses light electrical pulses transmitted to specific areas of the body through electrodes placed on the skin. There are many different types of electrical stimulation. Some are more beneficial for pain relief or to reduce inflammation, some for muscle spasms, and some cause the muscles to contract gently to reduce muscle atrophy.
