Services
Dry Needling
Our dry needling treatment uses fine needles to target muscle trigger points, accelerating healing and improving blood flow. This technique effectively addresses chronic pain, sports injuries, and post-operative recovery by releasing muscle tension and promoting natural healing processes. Patients experience reduced pain and increased mobility through this evidence-based approach performed by certified specialists.
Spine Manual Therapy
Specialized hands-on treatment for spinal conditions combines movement correction with pain relief techniques. Our 90% success rate program addresses herniated discs, whiplash, and chronic back pain through targeted manual adjustments and movement retraining. This approach restores proper spinal mechanics and improves overall function without surgical intervention.
Functional Evaluations
Comprehensive functional capacity evaluations determine physical capabilities for job placement or recovery progress. These assessments measure strength, endurance, and movement patterns to create customized rehabilitation plans or ensure workplace safety compliance. Employers use these screenings to verify job candidates' physical readiness for specific roles.
Sports Injury Rehab
Tailored rehabilitation programs address sports-related injuries from sprains to ligament tears. Our approach combines strength training, mobility exercises, and sport-specific drills to safely return athletes to competition. Certified therapists work with patients to prevent re-injury while restoring full range of motion and performance capabilities.
Orthotics Consultation
Custom orthotic and bracing solutions address foot, ankle, knee, and back conditions through personalized support devices. Our specialists fit patients with appropriate braces to stabilize injuries, correct alignment issues, and prevent further damage during recovery. These solutions complement therapy programs for optimal rehabilitation outcomes.
