Heat Therapy

At De Stefan Chiropractic, Dr. Marie de Stefan offers more than three decades of experience delivering personalized, non-invasive care to help patients feel better, move better, and heal more effectively. One of the supportive therapies she often recommends is heat therapy, a simple yet powerful treatment that uses targeted warmth to relieve pain, ease muscle tension, and promote circulation.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic stiffness, recovering from an injury, or managing stress-related tension, chiropractic heat therapy can play an essential role in your healing journey.

What is heat therapy?

Heat therapy involves the controlled application of warmth to specific areas of the body. This warmth penetrates soft tissue and muscles, helping to:

  • Increase blood flow and oxygen to damaged tissues

  • Relax tight or spasming muscles

  • Reduce joint stiffness

  • Relieve chronic aches and pains

  • Improve mobility and flexibility

At De Stefan Chiropractic, we use moist heat packs as part of a customized care plan. These techniques are often paired with chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, or interferential electrical stimulation for maximum effectiveness.

Benefits of Heat Therapy

Dr. de Stefan may incorporate therapeutic heat into your treatment if you are experiencing:

  • Lower back pain or neck stiffness

  • Muscle soreness or chronic tightness

  • Arthritis-related joint pain

  • Old sports injuries or overuse

  • Pre-treatment preparation for adjustments

Heat therapy not only enhances your body’s healing response, but also helps prepare your muscles for chiropractic care by making them more flexible and responsive to manual techniques.

A Personalized Approach to Pain Relief

With more than 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Marie de Stefan is known for her patient-centered, whole-body approach. She carefully evaluates each patient’s condition and comfort level before recommending any therapy, including heat treatment.
