Dry needling is a modern treatment designed to ease muscular pain.
Therapists place the needles in “trigger points” in your muscle or tissue. Dry needling practitioners say the needle helps release the knot and relieve any muscle pain or spasms. Its benefits are maximized when used in conjunction with physical therapy.
We have great outcomes with the following: back pain, neck pain, post-surgical pain, myofascial pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, nerve pain, plantar fascitis, arthritis, jaw pain, headaches & migraines, ALL sports injuries, and many other conditions!
Red light therapy is used for a wide variety treatment, including dermatology,
weight loss, inflammation, and even hair loss. The CureWave laser stands out due to its ability to penetrate further than any other laser available, reaching up to 5.5 inches deep into joints and body tissue at 1260 nm intensity. This allows us to treat inflammation and pain in problem areas that previously could not be reached with
non-invasive techniques.
Our laser therapy stimulates tissue repair and energy production in the affected
cells for immediate relief and faster healing. These treatments are used for patients experiencing joint pain, nerve pain, and pain originating from discs in the spine. The sessions are fast and painless and take place in the comfort of a private room.
Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves applied to a painful area to activate cellular receptors to initiate the body's natural immune response. It promotes angiogenesis-the development of new blood vessels crucial in the healing process- and activates stem cells to repair damaged tissue.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate the body's cells, tissues, and organs. The therapy involves applying a low-frequency electromagnetic pulse to specific areas of the body. These pulses interact with the body's natural electromagnetic signals, promoting healing and pain relief.
Manipulation is a high velocity/low amplitude thrust into a specific joint segment of the spine in a particular line of drive to reduce pain. This is a therapeutic intervention that provides pain reduction through restoring normal range of motion at the particular joint segment. Manipulation also allows endorphins to release in the body, which in turn presents a sense of immediate relief.
Mulligan treatments or “mobilization with movement” came from New Zealand in the 1950’s and has proven in hundreds of studies to be an effective way to restore normal joint range of motion and reduce pain. It involves the therapist repositioning the joint into it’s correct of pain free ROM while the patient is moving the impaired area.
A noninvasive standardized approach that prescribes a series of individualized exercises. The goal of the McKenzie Spine Protocol is to centralize pain and move it from the leg to the low back. It is typically used to diagnose and treat patients with low back pain and neck pain.
Gua Sha translates from Chinese exactly as “to scrape away fever.” It is a traditional form of Chinese medicine. It involves rubbing or scraping the injured area repetitively in a specific pattern with a blunt instrument to effectively reduce pain, increase range of motion, enhance blood circulation and eliminate muscle tension. It is most commonly used as a form of soft tissue mobilization to treat pain but can also be used to treat numerous conditions such as sprains, strains, muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, colds, flu and fever.
Chinese cupping can be used to stretch muscles and other soft tissue and increase blood flow to the area to improve healing. Also when done by an acupuncturist over acupuncture points it can have a similar effect to needles in promoting healing. Worldwide this is becoming a popular way to treat almost all types of pain conditions. If you are interested look up “Celebrities and Cupping” you will see that many people in Hollywood are using this treatment modality for pain and tension.
Flexion-Distraction is a specialized table assisted, hands-on opening of the disc space and facet joint. As the table flexes, the practitioner increases the range of motion at a specific area of the spine. This results in increased blood flow, increased mobility, decreased tension, and usually gives relief from pain. Flexion-Distraction is utilized for many conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, disc herniations, ruptured discs, bulging discs, stenosis, whiplash injuries, back spasms, and extremely acute cases.
Spinal Decompression is a great way to treat most back and neck conditions. It separates individual vertebrae causing an increase in blood flow and a decrease in pressure on your discs and nerves. It can be a great treatment in recovery from back and neck conditions.
A person’s ability to return to health and regain motion after surgery is heavily dependent upon physical therapy. Physical therapy is imperative to the success of an orthopedic surgery. Treatment after surgery mainly focuses on regaining ability, restoring range of motion, strength and flexibility.
Post-surgery physical therapy is highly advised for anyone having any type of procedure from sports injuries, back injuries, neck injuries, work injuries or bone fractures. We have awesome post surgical outcomes and can even assist your care with our advanced training if you are doing post-surgical care at an orthopedic clinic.
We offer many other specialized treatment approaches from around the world you will learn about as a patient. We are in constant pursuit of progressing our skills to offer this area an exceptional level of care and successful patient outcomes.
