Whole Body Vibration- This is a true vertical vibration platform that the patient stands on. It sends vertical vibrations throughout the body helping to increase blood and lymph flow throughout the body. It results in thousands of reflexive muscle reactions per minute leading to increased muscle strength and tone. It is also used to increase stimulation to the nerves.
Softwave Therapy- This technology uses acoustic sound waves that are pulsed into the tissues. The shockwaves travel about 5 inches deep into the tissue and help increase circulation, break down old scar tissue, decrease inflammation and most importantly brings stem cells to the area of pain to create and support healing. This breakthrough technology is leading the way in recovery from acute and chronic pain conditions involving the spine, the shoulders, the knees, ankles, and many other orthopedic issues. Softwave stands above the rest when it comes to Shockwave Therapy. www.softwavetrt.com

Cold Laser- This is a highly researched low level laser that works to support healing in the body. It also helps to decrease inflammation in tissues. We use the Erchonia PL5000 Laser, the world's premier low level laser. For more information on this state of the art laser therapy visit www.erchonia.com
Class 4 M6 Robotic Laser Therapy- This is one of the most powerful non-surgical lasers on the market. Laser supportstissue healing and inflammation reduction. The M6 laser utilizes the power of 4 Class 4 lasers to increase results in less time! www.celasers.com-
Pulsed Cellular Stimulation- This therapy uses low frequency pulsed electromagentic fields to support healing, cellular energy, and blood flow throughout the entire body. www.pulsepemf.com

Hakomed Horizontal Stimulation- Communication between cells takes place in two ways: bioelectrically and biochemically. Whether the cells are in bone, muscle, ligament or nerve tissue, communication occurs via electrical currents and chemical messengers. When cellular communication is impaired, pain and disease occur, so that the normal functional state is lost. This causes a further breakdown in cellular communication. Up until now,
either the bio-electrical or the bio-chemical communication could be enhanced with electrotherapy at one time, but, not both at once. With Horizontal Therapy, both bioelectrical and biochemical components can be treated all in one treatment session. By holding the bioelectric intensity constant while changing the frequency, Horizontal Therapy can have a broad spectrum physiologic effect. www.electromedicine.com

Non- Surgical Spinal Decompression- We use the Chattanooga Triton DTS Spinal Decompression system. This technology allows us to bypass muscle spasticity and then decompress the spinal discs. This is a very effective treatment for those who suffer from disc herniations, disc bulges, spinal stenosis, and many other low back and neck conditions.

ATM 2-Active Therapeutic Rehabilitation- This is a state of the art system that we use for retraining muscle and brain function. For patients who cannot move without pain the ATM 2 often gives immediate relief. For more information visit their website at www.backproject.com
-
Ion Detoxification Foot Bath- We all accumulate toxins in our body through the food we intake, and the environment we live in. We live in a toxic world. As the toxins accumulate in our bodies it can cause GI distress, muscle pain, and chronic fatigue. The EB Pro Ion Detoxification system is a researched method of removing heavy metals and many other toxins from our bodies. For more information visit Erchonia's website at www.erchonia.com

Electrical Muscle Stimulation- It helps to reduce spasticity in muscles. It produces endorphins and enkephalons, which are natural pain relievers within the body.
-
Neuromuscular Re-education- Procedures used to retrain dysfunctional muscles throughout the body. It aids in the stabilization of joints that are weak and dysfunctional.
-
Oxygen Therapy- The brain is the most oxygen dependent organ in the body. Supporting the brain with one of its most essential nutrients while we use therapies to regrow neural connections improves the effectiveness of our brain based techniques.

Brain Based Therapy- If you have suffered with your condition for years, been to multiple specialists and have received no help, there is a good chance the problem is in your head... by that we mean the brain. The brain is one of the most overlooked areas when it comes to chronic disease. Regardless of whether you suffer from chronic pain, irritable bowel, thyroid disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, autism, or any other chronic disease condition the brain may be at the heart of what is going on. Many patients who suffer from chronic neurologic and metabolic conditions have areas of decreased cortical or cerebellar function. Imbalances in brain function indicate areas of decreased cellular health in the brain. As neurons in the brain degenerate, the body's ability to function may become impaired. Through a thorough neurogical evaluation Dr. Huffman will locate areas of decreased function in the brain.
Areas of the brain that Dr. Huffman evaluates and may be contributing to your condition include:
(1) The Frontal Lobe
-The Pre-Frontal Cortex
(2) The Parietal Lobe
(3) The Temporal Lobe
-The Hippocampus (Memory)
(4) The Occipital Lobe (Vision)
(5) The Basal Ganglia
(6) The Cerebellum
(7) The Mesencephalon
(8) The Pons
(9) The Medulla
When one of these areas of the brain fails to function as efficiently as it should, other areas of the brain begin to overfire, causing imbalance and dysfunction in the body. Brain Based Therapies are essentially exercises that Dr. Huffman has developed to rehabilitate the specific areas of decreased function. Brain Based Therapies commonly used in the clinic are whole body vibration, saccadic eye movements, vestibular rehabilitation, exercise with oxygen therapy, and many others.
