In our office Dr. Roop uses manual manipulation for treatment:

• Flexion/Distraction table - This table allows patients with low back disc problems that causes siatica, radiculopathy, inflammation, and spasms to find relief by natural healing.  It is hard for a disc to heal, due to the lack of blood flow from within.  Distraction to a disc creates more blood flow, which promotes healing, while increasing the range of motion where scar tissue has built up surrounding the involved areas.
• E-Stim - Decreases pain, spasms, and edema, while increasing the healing of tissues and muscle strength with muscle re-education.
• Ultrasound (therapeutic) - uses high frequency to increase local temperature, metabolism and blood flow which aids in relaxing the muscle and decrease of pain.
• Theraball -  is used for rehab with patients when stressing core strenghtening.
• Surface EMG - This enables us to see the amount of muscle tension throughout the spine.
• Footlevelers - Custom orthotics are made after a digital picture is scanned to see any altered areas of the foot.  Ignored foot alterations can lead to improper biomechanics, causing pain and other symptoms.
