Electrical Muscle Stimulation: A & A Chiropractic provides electrical muscle stimulation to patients in Matawan, NJ and surrounding areas of Monmouth County. Electric muscle stimulation is a physical rehabilitation therapy modality that is used to stimulate muscle contractions using electrodes hooked up to an electric stimulation machine at our facility. These contractions help to control pain, manage inflammation and strengthen the muscle.
The electrodes are placed on the effected areas of the patient’s body around the neck, back, shoulder, knee, ankle or wrist. The therapist will then adjust the controls of the machine until the patient feels a prickly sensation and is able to comfortably target the level of stim without burning, stinging or feeling a stabbing sensation. The stimulation will increase circulation and reduce swelling thereby reducing pain sensations.
Ultrasound Therapy: Ultrasound therapy helps to reduce muscle pain and movement dysfunction. Sound waves deliver deep heat to the areas of the body that need treatment. As a result of the sound waves, the patient benefits from reduced stiffness, swelling and pain. Increased circulation and the promotion of pain free movement are positive effects of using ultrasound therapy.
Following ultrasound, Dr. Barnum may provide gentle chiropractic adjustments, stretching routines and rehabilitative exercises.
Call and set up your appointment with Dr. Barnum to determine if either of these therapies are right for you.
Currently seeing Dr. Barnum and it’s been nothing but positive experience. Always feel great after an adjustment and the stretches and tips recommended to continue at home truly make a difference. You can tell her goal is to get you to actually feel better not just well enough to make it to your next visit.
I have been seeing Dr Barnum for about 3 months now . She has worked her magic on me for sure . So happy and grateful I found her ! If you need a chiropractor in your life look no further . You will not be disappointed!
10/10 recommend. I’m the “trouble” patient with issues in multiple areas of my back due to a car accident and the level of treatment I receive from the chiropractor is unmatched from other chiropractors I’ve seen in the past. Personable & friendly, and genuinely cares about your wellbeing along with getting a detailed history to determine the best treatments. I’ve followed her from two locations and will continue to follow her until the end of time due to the quality of services she provides.
Dr. Barnum is the best. She’s been treating me for multiple issues the last few months and I’m significantly better.
My back was tight and in a lot of pain. After being adjusted, I woke up the next morning feeling much better and able to move around without feeling tight.
Quick and good service! Got my DOT Exam done for the best price in the area!
“Absolutely great services”
Came here to get my DOT medical examination and it was a quick appointment so I could get back to work !!
I’ve had lower back issues from a herniated disc for about 7 years. I went to see Dr. Barnum about 6 weeks ago after not getting the results I wanted from other chiropractors. Dr. Barnum is very thorough and detailed in her assessment and care. I love the fact that she stresses preventive care (strengthening and stretching) along with medical treatments. I haven’t felt this pain free in years. She is easy to get ahold of and even made sure there was another doctor available when she was on vacation. I will continue to see Dr. Barnum and highly recommend her services. I couldn’t not be happier.
Dr Barnum is outstanding doctor. Easy to talk to. She really cares about her patients. One of my issues was that I could not move my neck. Within a a few weeks with Dr Barnum I had full range of motion. I highly recommend Dr Barnum.
Great place to get your CDL medical done. Very nice woman at the front desk and the Doctor is terrific. Will definitely go back again.
