Services
Manual Therapy
Our certified manual therapists use specialized techniques like the McKenzie Method and Maitland Concept to treat musculoskeletal conditions. This hands-on approach effectively addresses neck/back pain, joint restrictions, and soft tissue dysfunction through precise mobilizations and manipulations. Clinical experience shows these methods accelerate recovery while minimizing medication dependence.
Anodyne Therapy
This FDA-cleared infrared therapy improves circulation and reduces neuropathic pain through non-thermal effects on microcirculation. Particularly effective for diabetic neuropathy patients, our protocol combines Anodyne sessions with contrast baths to restore sensation and improve balance in those with chronic nerve damage.
Spinal Rehabilitation
Comprehensive spinal care addresses disc herniations, stenosis, and post-surgical recovery using mechanical traction, therapeutic exercises, and posture correction. Our therapists employ evidence-based protocols to reduce nerve compression while building core stability to prevent future injuries.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for dizziness and balance disorders includes the Epley maneuver for BPPV and customized exercise programs. This therapy restores inner ear function and reduces fall risk through progressive balance challenges and gaze stabilization techniques.
Post-Surgical Rehab
Individualized rehabilitation following joint replacements or orthopedic surgeries combines range-of-motion exercises with strength training. Our phased approach ensures proper healing while maximizing functional recovery, with progress tracked through objective mobility assessments.
