Chronic Pain
Eliminating Ongoing Pain With Chiropractic CareChronic pain is much different than acute pain.
Chronic pain may start from a somewhat less specific source and seemingly never ends.

Holistic Treatment Services
LASER THERAPY
Class IV laser therapy is proven to bio stimulate tissue repair and growth. Class IV laser therapy accelerates the healing process by decreasing inflammation and pain. During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain.
ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUES® (ART®)
Active Release Technique (or ART) is a manual therapy of certain soft tissue structures that is used to identify adhesions (internal scarring) that occur from acute, chronic, or pressure-related injuries, causing pain and limiting range of motion. ART releases the adhesions from your muscles and nerves and promotes internal healing.
MULTI-CERVICAL UNIT (MCU)
MCU is the most effective and complete device for assessing and rehabilitating patients suffering from neck pain, whiplash, and general cervical spine disorders. The MCU provides objective, individualized evaluations by recording cervical spine movement and isometric strength in real-time, while delivering a better rehab experience for you.
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY (HBOT)
In the hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber at Gray Chiropractic & Sports Associates, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal air pressure, providing an ideal environment and healing element for the body. Hyperbaric treatment can accelerate healing by boosting your body's oxygen content by up to 3 times its normal level.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive solution that leverages shock waves or acoustical waves to address musculoskeletal pain by delivering high-energy percussions (or pulses) to the tissue being treated. The treatment causes scar tissue and calcific fibroblasts to break down and promotes healing by triggering metabolic activity and an inflammatory response.
EMTT (Extracorporal Magnetotransduction Therapy)
Extracorporal Magnetotransduction Therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based procedure developed specifically for the treatment of degenerative joint disorders, acute and chronic pain, and sports injuries. EMTT uses high-energy magnetic pulses transmitted to the affected areas of the body. Many patients report a significant improvement in their symptoms—sometimes even freedom from pain—after just a few sessions.
AllCore 360
The AllCore360° leverages the force of gravity to train all of the core muscles in a no impact, balanced, and coordinated fashion. Using isometric contractions to resist gravity, riders engage and train over 50 internal core muscles while performing a 360° plank.
FOOTLEVELERS
Footlevelers are custom made orthotics, or stabilizing orthotics. Generic, over-the-counter insoles are mass produced, don't address the underlying cause of pain and discomfort, and are made of inferior materials. Stabilizing orthotics are proven to reduce back pain by 34.5%.
ROCKTAPE®
RockTape supports healing by providing a microscopic lifting effect underneath the skin to reduce inflammation. RockTape has also been shown to delay muscle fatigue and normalize muscle tone to optimize physical performance without limiting motion. With 25 years supporting athletes around the country, Dr. Gray can show you the best techniques for using RockTape.
