Dr. Paul M. Vassa at Vassa Chiropractic & Wellness uses microcurrent therapy to help patients who are healing from injuries to the soft tissue or dealing with chronic pain. The treatment resembles electrical stimulation therapy, because electrodes are placed onto the skin in affected areas. However, this therapy is gentle and the microcurrent is so small patients don’t feel it.
A body’s natural electric current is disrupted when injury or disease occurs. The microcurrent used in this therapy works by simulating the electrical signals that occur naturally in a healthy body. This helps an injured body heal faster, and is also an effective way to decrease inflammation and relieve pain. Microcurrent therapy is a great treatment for muscle spasms occurring in the back or neck. It works by gently relaxing the muscle and allowing it to return to its normal state. This treatment is typically scheduled in short therapy sessions spread out over a course of weeks.

Workers Compensation Injuries
Whether you’re on the road, playing a sport, or at work, accidents happen. Fortunately, Dr. Paul M. Vassa DC of Vassa Chiropractic is trained to deal with underlying issues that potentially could be missed by medical doctors. In addition to uncovering underlying issues, he also handles the healing process without the need for addictive pain pills and potentially risky surgery. If you aren’t sure what type of injury is a work-related injury, allow us to inform you.
A work-related injury is one that happened while you were doing something on behalf of your employer or otherwise in the course of employment. Most injuries that can be classified as work-related are those that occur at the workplace, but also may occur in company-owned trucks and other locations as long as the employee was doing something related to his or her job. Chiropractic is an excellent way of dealing with workers compensation issues. Locating the source of your injury could be the difference between fixing an issue and living with something for a long period of time.
If you have questions or concerns regarding work injury treatment, please give us a call. To learn about services provided at the practice, visit www.drvassa.comfor more information.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Relieving the pressure from pinched nerves is one of the primary goals of chiropractic. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the most common workplace injuries, and at Vassa Chiropractic & Wellness in Holbrook, we provide people with safe, minimally invasive relief while getting their bodies in the optimal position to heal naturally.
The nerve that travels from our necks to our thumbs and first three fingers is called the median nerve. It stretches through the carpal tunnel, which is made up of the wrist bones and an inelastic band of connective tissue. Blockages in this canal or swelling on the outside of it constrict the median nerve. As a result, shocks, pain, tingling, and numbness may be felt throughout the arm, and control of the fingers and thumbs may be compromised.
Pain and other symptoms of a pinched nerve will not necessarily occur in the same location as the pinch. Dr. Vassa will want to conduct a thorough examination to determine whether the problem really is in the carpal tunnel. If it is, overuse is generally the cause. The patient may be assigned rest and therapeutic exercises. Electrical stimulation can also reduce swelling from overuse.
Paul M. Vassa, D.C., operates Vassa Chiropractic & Wellness at 233 Union Ave, Suite 102, Holbrook, New York, 11741. To schedule an appointment call 631-664-6841 or visit Dr. Vassa online.
