Corrective Spinal ExercisesAt Burlington Family Chiropractic, P.C., we teach our patients specific exercises and stretches that can help your body stay in balance and in good health. Specific exercises help strengthen and correct their own unique problem, mostly working with your core muscles. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use.

Electrotherapy & UltrasoundUltrasound: Ultrasound penetrates heat into human tissue deeper than any other heat modality, 4-6 cm. The Benefits of heat from ultrasound include; promotion of muscle relaxation, increased local metabolism, and reduction of pain by sedating nerve endings. Ultrasound treatment is done by guiding waves into the body from the head of an ultrasound machine.
Electrical Stimulation: Intervention through the application of electricity.
