Electrotherapy

We realize the multiple benefits of electrotherapy at Denver Chiropractic, LLC. These include:

• Pain relief due to release of endorphins and enkephalins.
• Tissue healing due to altered enzymatic activity.
• Increased blood and lymph circulation.
• Anesthetic effects of hyperstimulation of nerves.
• Improve joint range of motion.
• Decrease edema.
• Strengthen muscles.
• Decrease muscle tone and muscle spasms.
• Facilitate fracture healing.
