What Rehab Covers Here
Two kinds of rehab work are offered at the Towson clinic: rehabilitative exercise and electric muscle stimulation. Equipment at this clinic also includes vibe plates and wobble chairs.
The National Library of Medicine's overview of rehabilitation says the specific goals are different for each person.
Who Does the Work: Chiropractic Assistants
Chiropractic assistants do the exercise and muscle stimulation work. A chiropractor on staff oversees the chiropractic assistants, and all assistants are registered and trained.
The Maryland Board of Chiropractic Examiners registers chiropractic assistants and says they may work only under the guidance of a supervising chiropractor.
Rehabilitative Exercise
Rehabilitative exercise is offered at this clinic. A session may include stretches to loosen tight muscles and exercises to strengthen weak ones.
Rehab exercises and stretching may come up in care for back pain, sciatica, herniated and bulging discs or car accident injuries.
After our comprehensive evaluation, a service like this may be recommended, depending on your condition.
Electric Muscle Stimulation
Electric muscle stimulation is available at this clinic. It sends an electrical current into a muscle.
The FDA's consumer page on muscle stimulators says applying electrical current to muscles may cause them to contract.
Your evaluation covers your health history, including any implanted device, pregnancy or medicines, to determine if you are a candidate.
Class IV Laser and Shockwave
Class IV laser therapy and shockwave therapy are also offered at this clinic.
Before Rehab Starts
New patients may begin with a detailed intake, then a care plan built around their needs. If you also see another doctor, rehab may be combined with that care, so mention what you already get.
Session length, cost and insurance are questions for a phone call to the clinic.
