Specialty Treatments for Muscle & Back Pain

At Keith Clinic, our doctors and team are here to help you reach your best health — naturally. We give you the care, tools, and guidance you need to feel better and help you stay that way. The heart of chiropractic care is the spinal adjustment, a safe and precise technique chiropractors are specially trained to perform.

Our doctors look for and correct subluxations — misalignments in the spine and joints — that can cause pain and keep your body from healing properly. Since adjustments alone may not fix everything, we also offer other therapies to ease pain, speed recovery, and improve how your body works. Together, these treatments give you a complete plan for healing, relief, and long-term wellness

1. Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a natural way to ease neck and back pain while improving movement and flexibility. It helps your body heal by reducing scar tissue, supporting healthy muscle function, and increasing joint mobility. Many patients also find that massage relieves muscle spasms, improves circulation, and encourages the release of endorphins — the body’s natural pain relievers — for an overall sense of comfort and well-being.

Therapeutic ultrasound is a gentle therapy used to support healing in soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It uses sound waves to create deep heat in the affected area, helping to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, relax tight muscles, and speed up the healing process. It is often used as part of a treatment plan to relieve pain and improve mobility after an injury.

Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) is a therapeutic treatment that transmits electrical impulses into muscle tissue. EMS stimulates the body to release its own natural pain killers, aka: endorphins. Also, EMS stimulates the muscle tissue to help re-educate the damaged muscle how to contract properly.
Traction helps to gently and effectively reestablish normal range of motion to the spine. When the spine’s muscles are traumatized or negatively impacted from lost circulation due to accident or injury, spasms occur. The traction table carefully elongates the muscles of your spine in a comfortable, even manner and allows normal joint motion, circulation and mobility to return.

Cold laser therapy, also called low-level laser therapy, is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and speed up healing in damaged tissues. The light energy from the laser stimulates cell activity, improving circulation and supporting the body’s natural recovery process. It is used as part of a treatment plan for muscle strains, joint injuries, and other soft tissue conditions.

Diathermy is a therapeutic treatment that uses gentle electromagnetic energy to create deep heat within the body’s tissues. This deep heat helps increase blood flow, relax tight muscles, reduce stiffness, and promote faster healing in injured or sore areas. It is often used to treat muscle spasms, joint pain, and chronic inflammation, especially in the back, shoulders, and neck. The treatment is comfortable, non-invasive, and supports the body’s natural recovery process by improving tissue flexibility and circulation.

Cold packs are used to reduce the temperature of the tissues directly below the skin. Surface cooling constricts blood vessels, numbs painful areas, and helps relax muscle spasms. Cold temperatures reduce nerve transmission of painful symptoms and provide temporary relief. Cooling affected tissues is effective in reducing and preventing swelling after an injury.
Moist heat is used to help raise the temperature of the soft tissues directly below the skin. Heat applied to the surface of the skin enlarges blood vessels below the surface, relaxing tissues and can temporarily relieve painful symptoms.

Working Together for the Best You

Chiropractic adjustments work hand in hand with supportive therapies such as those listed above to help your body heal more effectively. While adjustments restore proper alignment and improve nerve function, these therapies help reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and promote tissue repair. Together, they create a balanced approach to care that relieves pain, improves mobility, and supports long-term health and wellness.
