Adjunctive therapeutic modalities support manual chiropractic care by enhancing tissue healing, reducing pain, and improving mobility. This book discusses a range of modalities including ultrasound, electrical stimulation, cryotherapy, heat application, and laser therapy. It outlines the physiological effects, clinical indications, contraindications, and dosage parameters for each technique. Integration of modalities into treatment plans is illustrated through condition-specific applications like tendonitis, sprain-strain injuries, and joint inflammation. Diagrams and equipment demonstrations support safe and effective use. The text serves as a comprehensive guide to complementary treatments that optimize musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
