MCU Multi-Cervical Unit Rehab For Neck Pain Treatment in Calgary
The MCU is a cutting-edge neck rehabilitation machine. It employs cutting-edge technology to assist patients suffering from chronic neck pain by rebuilding the neck muscles required to support the head movement. Multi-Cervical Unit rehab treatments begin with the creation of a patient profile based on your age and gender. It will then precisely identify which of your neck muscles are weak and not sufficiently supporting your head movements. The machine measures your neck’s range of motion in every direction it moves, specifically, flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotations. The unit will then assist you in isolating and exercising those muscles to gradually strengthen them safely via built-in protection mechanisms. Each treatment monitors your progress to ensure that your muscles develop the strength required for proper head support. You will begin to feel pain relief after a few sessions. In addition, strengthening your neck muscles helps alleviate other neck pain symptoms, such as tension headaches and dizziness.
