Services
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Our orthopedic rehabilitation program addresses post-surgical recovery, joint replacements, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Using manual therapy techniques and customized exercise regimens, we restore mobility and reduce pain for patients with back, neck, shoulder, knee, and hip issues. Treatment plans incorporate advanced equipment like the Multi Cervical Unit for spinal stabilization and Biodex systems for strength training. Patients receive education on proper body mechanics to prevent future injuries while progressing through evidence-based recovery protocols tailored to their specific condition and lifestyle needs.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes our HydroWorx 500 pool for low-impact rehabilitation. The water's buoyancy reduces joint stress while allowing resistance training to improve strength and endurance. This modality benefits patients recovering from surgeries, managing arthritis, or needing balance training. Temperature-controlled water promotes muscle relaxation while specialized underwater treadmills enable gait training. Sessions are supervised by licensed therapists who modify exercises based on individual progress, making this treatment suitable for all fitness levels including elderly patients and post-injury athletes.
Functional Dry Needling
Functional dry needling targets myofascial pain through precise needle insertion into trigger points. This technique releases tight muscle bands, improves blood flow, and accelerates healing for conditions like chronic back pain and sports injuries. Combined with traditional physical therapy, it provides faster pain relief than conventional methods alone. Our certified therapists follow strict safety protocols, using sterile, single-use needles while explaining each step to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Our neurological rehab specializes in treating stroke survivors, multiple sclerosis patients, and those with nerve injuries. Through task-specific training and balance exercises, we improve coordination and functional independence. Certified therapists use electromyography (EMG) testing to assess nerve function and develop targeted treatment plans. Patients benefit from specialized equipment like the AlterG treadmill for gait retraining while receiving education on managing symptoms through lifestyle modifications and home exercise programs.
Sports Injury Treatment
Sports injury treatment combines diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound with sport-specific rehabilitation. We treat acute injuries like sprains and chronic conditions from overuse, creating return-to-play timelines based on objective progress measurements. Certified athletic trainers implement functional movement screens to identify risk factors while incorporating performance enhancement techniques. Treatment includes taping, bracing, and progressive loading exercises to restore strength and prevent re-injury, serving athletes from recreational to professional levels.
