size of normal hypodermic needles) inserted in various nerve points to
release endorphins and reduce pain.
 Massage therapy

to help with muscle pain, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation.
There are many types of massage therapy such as soft tissue massage,
joint or ligament massage, and trigger point massage.
 Electrotherapy

for tissue pain and swelling. A great complement to other therapies.
Some types of electrotherapy include laser therapy and ultrasound
therapy.

important in promoting the range of motion and realignment of joints.
