Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs combine manual therapy and functional exercises to address orthopedic injuries, spinal pain, and mobility limitations. Certified therapists create personalized treatment plans to minimize pain and maximize functional recovery for patients of all ages. Services include post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injury recovery, and chronic pain management.
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Specialized orthopedic rehabilitation focuses on acute and chronic injuries, post-operative recovery, and joint replacements. Treatment incorporates biomechanical correction, therapeutic exercises, and state-of-the-art modalities to restore mobility and strength for patients with musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine, shoulders, knees, and other joints.
Aqua Therapy
Aqua therapy utilizes warm water immersion to relax muscles and improve movement during treatment. This specialized program at our Reno clinic helps patients with painful conditions perform therapeutic exercises with reduced joint stress, enhancing recovery through hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy benefits.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve function. Available at Sparks and Carson City locations, this technique treats chronic pain, sports injuries, and movement impairments by stimulating healing responses in affected soft tissues through thin filament needle insertion.
Sports Performance
Sports performance programs develop injury prevention strategies and enhance athletic capabilities. Certified specialists design sport-specific rehabilitation and performance optimization plans that improve strength, agility, and biomechanics for both professional athletes and recreational sports participants recovering from injuries.
