ACL Screenings
Our ACL screening program identifies athletes at risk for anterior cruciate ligament injuries through biomechanical assessments. Using evidence-based protocols, we evaluate movement patterns and neuromuscular control to develop preventive training programs. The service combines clinical expertise with sports science research to reduce injury risk by 75% through targeted neuromuscular retraining and orthotic interventions.
Concussion Management
Specialized concussion therapy addresses post-traumatic symptoms through vestibular and cervical spine rehabilitation. Our approach combines gaze stabilization exercises with manual neck therapy to resolve symptoms like dizziness and headaches. The program follows current medical guidelines for gradual return-to-play protocols while monitoring cognitive and physical recovery progress through standardized assessment tools.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser treatments use specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive therapy increases blood flow and ATP production to accelerate healing for musculoskeletal conditions. FDA-cleared since 2003, our protocol treats acute injuries and chronic pain conditions with sessions lasting 10-15 minutes as part of comprehensive rehabilitation programs.
Orthopedic Therapy
Specialized treatment for bone and joint conditions combines manual therapy with therapeutic exercise programs. Our approach addresses post-surgical recovery, arthritis management, and soft tissue injuries through customized rehabilitation plans. Evidence-based techniques include joint mobilization, therapeutic ultrasound, and progressive strengthening programs tailored to individual functional goals.
Vestibular Therapy
Specialized treatment for dizziness and balance disorders uses customized exercise programs to improve vestibular function. Our protocol includes gaze stabilization and habituation exercises to address conditions like BPPV and Meniere's disease. The program incorporates cervical spine treatment and balance retraining to reduce fall risk and improve daily functional abilities.
