Rehabilitation Therapy Options, Part I
Lexington, KY is known as a great sports area. Not only is it home to the Kentucky Wildcats and Lexington Legends, there are several other high-level college athletics programs nearby, as well. And for many years, neighboring Georgetown served as training camp for the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL. What do all sports teams have in common?

Well, for one, they all have players who suffer injuries from time to time. And while all of us may not be on sports teams, either through exercise or accidents, we all endure injuries at some point in our lives. Without a training room and staff at our disposal, what can we do to recover quickly and safely?

Elswick Chiropractic has several therapeutic solutions to offer. Muscle stim (electrical muscle stimulation) harnesses the natural power of endorphins to relieve pain and inflammation, thus speeding the healing and recovery process for strains and sprains. Also, the therapy works well very often for those suffering chronic, debilitating pains. The process involves the topical delivery of low-level electrical impulses to the affected region of the body and is experienced as pleasant by many patients. It’s a fantastic alternative to bombarding the body with pain medication.
