Services
Cryotherapy
Our full-body cryotherapy chamber exposes patients to extreme cold (-150 to -190F) for 2-4 minutes, stimulating endorphin release and reducing inflammation. This advanced treatment aids muscle recovery, eases joint pain, and benefits neurological conditions through controlled cold exposure cycles.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This FDA-cleared treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain through computer-controlled traction sessions targeting specific spinal areas.
Aqua Therapy
Our 30-foot therapy pool provides low-impact rehabilitation using water's natural resistance. Aqua therapy improves mobility and strength while reducing joint stress, making it ideal for post-surgical recovery and chronic pain management through guided aquatic exercises.
Vertigo Treatment
Specialized vestibular rehabilitation addresses vertigo and balance disorders through targeted exercises and manual techniques. Our therapists use evidence-based protocols to improve inner ear function and reduce dizziness episodes for long-term symptom relief.
Myofascial Release
This hands-on technique targets connective tissue restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. Our therapists apply sustained pressure to release fascial tightness, improve circulation, and restore normal muscle function through customized manual therapy sessions.
