- Electrical Muscle StimulationElectrical stimulation can be used for pain relief. One theory is that the stimulation causes the brain to release the body's natural painkillers, endorphin's and enkephalin's, resulting in pain relief. Studies have shown marked increases in these chemicals after the use of low-frequency electrical muscle stimulation. The use of EMS is used to help before the chiropractic adjustment allows for more comfortable effective adjustments.

- Chiropractic Injury TreatmentAsk a friend to take pictures of your auto accident injuries. If you have trouble getting a settlement from the insurance company or you decide to hire a personal injury attorney, photos will be valuable evidence for your case. Cuts, bruises, and scrapes heal quickly, so getting photos immediately is a smart move. If you don't have access to a regular digital camera, snap a few pictures with your cell phone.
