Spinal traction is a therapeutic session in which a special machine slowly and gently stretches, thereby relaxing the deep muscles and tissues of the spine, increases the distance between the vertebrae, increases blood circulation. Due to the formation of negative pressure in the intervertebral area, including, decreases herniated disc protrusion into the spinal canal, which reduces pressure on the nerve root. This procedure is used in the treatment of disc bulges, sciatica, osteochondrosis, pinched nerves and many other conditions associated with back and neck pain.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive method in which an electric current from a special physiotherapy device is transmitted through small wires to electrodes attached to the skin. TENS can be used as an alternative or in addition to traditional pain therapy. This procedure is used to restore muscle strength without strain on the joints and fracture zone; to maintain muscles in a functional state, to treat acute and chronic pain syndrome, paresis and paralysis, normalization of muscle corset, neurorehabilitation (nerve damage), in sports medicine.

Both massage and manual therapy involve certain techniques that affect the patient's body. However, there is a significant difference between the two, which lies primarily in the fact that a massage therapist works exclusively with the soft tissues of the body. Whereas a chiropractor also affects the patient's bone structures and joints, as well as his cartilage and intervertebral discs, and even internal organs.

During a massage session, the work is done mainly with the soft tissues of the patient's body - the masseur eliminates congestion, relieves muscle spasm and tonifies them, while the chiropractor works primarily with joints, including intervertebral joints. The main purpose of the work of this specialist is to restore their normal mobility. Most often, such treatment includes kneading and manipulation of muscles, mobilization of joints and manipulation of joints.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation - is a method of treatment based on electrical stimulation of muscles and nerves, which is carried out by transmitting current with specified characteristics from the myostimulator to the human body through electrodes. The essence of the method consists in the fact that by applying an electric current of a certain shape and frequency in the motor points of the desired muscle is achieved: the response contractile reaction, improves the conductivity of the electrical impulse along the nerve, which activates the muscle, enhances metabolic processes responsible for maintaining muscle function, its nutrition, improves the regulation of the function performed by the muscle at the level of the cerebral cortex, accelerates the regeneration (recovery) of the affected nerve, improves blood and lymphatic flow in the muscle. This procedure is used to prevent muscle atrophy, which can occur, for example, after injuries to the musculoskeletal system, such as damage to bones, joints, ligaments and tendons.

Kinesiotaping is a revolutionary technique that provides permanent support for muscles and tendons, helping to reduce pain and inflammation. Kinesiotaping also helps to relax overstretched and tired muscles and accelerate the natural recovery process. At the same time, this method does not restrict freedom of movement and allows athletes to continue training and competition as usual, while conventional methods of taping (wrapping/strapping) involve fixation of joints and are intended only for stabilization and support during competition.

Kinesiotaping improves metabolism, muscle tone, lymphatic drainage, eliminates pain, unloads joints, eliminates bruises, relaxes connective tissue structures, and has an indirect effect on organs.
