Superficial heat uses specialized equipment to help raise the temperature of soft tissue directly below the skin. The heat applied to the skin enlarges the blood vessels below the surface, allowing the tissues to relax while temporarily relieving any painful symptoms.

Our Scottsdale Chiropractors may recommend superficial heat for patients suffering from long-term muscle spasms, joint stiffness, or where flexibility and range-of-motion are compromised. This is generally administered in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises and other treatments.
