Does chiropractic treatment use electronics?

Question

Accepted Answer

Although the main method of treatment is spinal manipulation, some modalities (techniques) use electronics equipment. Examples are:
Ultrasound. 
 • A form of deep heat therapy created by sound waves. The sound waves apply massaging motion to the soft tissues and joints to reduce swelling, increase blood flow, and decrease pain and muscle spasms.
 
Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) 
 • A TENS unit is a small, battery-powered, portable muscle stimulation machine. Variable intensities of electric current from this unit are used to control pain. It is recommended if you’re experiencing severe pain.
Cold Laser 
 • It produces light without heat, unlike standard lasers. For some injuries, heat can make the situation worse. Hence, this equipment is suitable for treating injured areas and encouraging cell healing.
