• Multiple Sclerosis

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Modalities such as cervical and lumbar traction, interferential current (TENS), ultrasound, heat and ice that are used appropriately to help reduce pain, inflammation and muscle guarding.
• Iontophoresis
  Beyond the standard strength and mobility testing, which can reveal much about what needs to be addressed, for each region there are specific tests to assess the nerves and structures of the given area. After assessing these structures the therapist can devise a treatment plan to address the issues found. This may include strengthening, stretching, gaining nerve mobility, restoring normal joint kinematics (proper joint movement), improving balance and coordination, as well as other specific treatment procedures. We may also use modalities to aid in healing, including electrical stimulation, ultrasound, iontophoresis, light therapy, heat or cold.
