Supportive Therapies


Rehabilitation Services
Another of the supportive therapies available at Abbeville Family Healthcare.

At Abbeville Family Healthcare, we believe that a strong spine is a healthy spine and that spinal weakness gives rise to injury and pain.  So we have added specific exercises that will stretch and strengthen the ligaments and muscles that support your spine giving you longer lasting relief.  Using exercise as part of your care plan greatly accelerates the healing process so you “get well, stay well, and live well”….faster!



Electric Muscle Stimulation
Just one of the many supportive therapies avabile at our Abbeville location.

We use a form of electric muscle stimulation called Interferential Current.  It causes muscles to contract and relax at a rate that breaks up muscle spasms and relieves pain.  One of our patients is shown here receiving pain relieving Interferential Current from Ashley.

Dr. Durham Asks some important questions of interest to Abbeville residents - Chiropractor Abbeville Dr. Durham Asks...

Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Abbeville chiropractic practice.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Abbeville office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
