In the building
Our Equipment
X-ray, spinal decompression and SoftWave therapy are all done in our Saco office, so most of your care happens in one building and one appointment rather than being sent elsewhere.
What we have on site
Which of these is used, and whether any of it is used at all, is decided after an examination.
- Spinal X-ray, taken and analysed on the premises
- A motorised spinal decompression table
- SoftWave shockwave therapy equipment
- Muscle stimulation (E-Stim) units
- Therapeutic ultrasound
- Cold laser therapy equipment
- Surface EMG and thermal scanning for subluxation detection
- Treatment rooms for massage and soft-tissue work
X-ray without a second trip
If we need to see your spine, we can image it here. The practice has its own radiologic technologist — Rachel, who trained at Mercy Hospital and has worked in the radiology departments of Pen Bay Medical Center and Maine Centers for Health Care — so there is no referral to another site and no waiting for images to come back to us.
The films are read here too, and go into the report of findings you are given before any care starts. We do not X-ray as a matter of routine; it is done when the examination suggests we need to see something.
What the equipment is used for
Each of these pages explains the treatment, what a session is like, and what it is used for.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
The decompression table: motorised traction that stretches the spine gently.
SoftWave Regenerative Therapy
Shockwave therapy used for pain and soft-tissue injury.
Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim)
Electrical current that makes a muscle contract during rehabilitation.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Sound waves applied to injured or stiff soft tissue.
Therapies & Techniques
Cold laser, trigger point work and the rest of the hands-on techniques.
Chiropractic Adjustments
The hands-on work the equipment is there to support.
