Our Advanced Therapy Services

We offer a comprehensive range of advanced therapy services designed to complement chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage therapy. At Boulder Sports Clinic, advanced technologies are used alongside hands-on manual treatment to support tissue healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve recovery.These therapies are often recommended when rest alone has not resolved pain or injury and are used as part of a thoughtful, conservative approach to care.

Shockwave Therapy:

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate tissue healing and reduce pain in musculoskeletal structures. This non-invasive advanced therapy is commonly used for chronic tendon injuries, overuse conditions, and areas of pain that have not responded well to traditional care.

Class IV Laser Therapy:

Class IV laser therapy uses photobiomodulation to deliver therapeutic light energy that supports cellular repair and tissue healing. This FDA-cleared advanced therapy is commonly used to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support recovery from injury. Treatments typically last between 3 and 12 minutes, and many patients experience a gentle warming sensation during care.

Active Release Techniques (ART):

Active Release Techniques is a hands-on soft tissue treatment used to address muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. ART helps reduce pain and improve mobility by identifying and treating soft tissue restrictions that limit normal movement.

Graston Technique:

The Graston Technique uses specialized instruments to identify and treat adhesions within fascia and scar tissue. This advanced therapy helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore functional movement by addressing connective tissue restrictions.

Trigger Point Dry Needling:

Trigger point dry needling uses thin needles inserted into muscle trigger points to reduce tension and support natural healing. This therapy is commonly used for chronic muscle tightness, pain, and movement limitations.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is an advanced treatment used to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves through controlled traction on a motorized table.

At Boulder Sports Clinic, we use the HillDT Decompression Table, which adjusts in real time to your body for comfort and precision. This therapy is commonly used for herniated discs, pinched nerves, neck pain, arm pain, and chronic spinal conditions.

PEMF Therapy:

PEMF therapy uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to support neuromuscular recovery and reduce joint pain and stiffness. This non-invasive advanced therapy is often used to support circulation, tissue healing, and overall recovery as part of a broader treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are advanced therapies used for at Boulder Sports Clinic?

Advanced therapies at Boulder Sports Clinic are used to support injury recovery, reduce pain, and improve tissue healing. They are often recommended when pain, stiffness, or injury has not improved with rest or basic care alone.

How do I know if advanced therapy is right for my condition?

Advanced therapy may be appropriate if you are experiencing ongoing pain, chronic injury, muscle tightness, nerve irritation, or slow healing. An evaluation at Boulder Sports Clinic helps determine which advanced therapies, if any, are appropriate for your condition and goals.

What conditions are commonly treated with advanced therapies?

Advanced therapies are commonly used for tendon injuries, muscle strains, joint pain, nerve-related pain, chronic inflammation, overuse injuries, and recovery from sports or auto accident injuries.

How many advanced therapy sessions will I need?

The number of advanced therapy sessions depends on your condition, how long symptoms have been present, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients notice improvement within a few visits, while others benefit from a longer care plan.

What is the difference between shockwave therapy and laser therapy?

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate tissue healing, while laser therapy uses light energy to support cellular repair and reduce inflammation. Your provider will recommend the therapy that best fits your condition.

Can I exercise or stay active while receiving advanced therapy?

In many cases, patients can continue exercising or training while receiving advanced therapy. Your provider will offer guidance on activity levels based on your injury, treatment plan, and recovery progress.

Are advanced therapies used alone or combined with other treatments?

Advanced therapies are most often combined with chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage therapy. Using advanced therapies alongside hands-on treatment helps support more complete recovery and improved movement.

Are advanced therapies safe?

Advanced therapies offered at Boulder Sports Clinic are non-invasive or minimally invasive and selected based on current research and clinical use. Providers review your health history and symptoms to ensure each therapy is appropriate and safe.

Do advanced therapies hurt?

Most advanced therapies are well tolerated. Some treatments may cause mild discomfort or temporary soreness, but care is adjusted based on your comfort level and response.

Can advanced therapies help with chronic pain?

Is spinal decompression considered an advanced therapy?
