Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling treatment targets muscular trigger points to alleviate chronic pain and improve mobility. Our certified specialists use thin needles to stimulate healing responses in affected tissues. This evidence-based technique effectively treats neck pain, sciatica, migraines, and sports injuries by releasing muscle tension and improving blood flow.
Sports Rehabilitation
Sports rehabilitation programs address athletic injuries through targeted exercise and manual therapy. We treat shoulder/knee injuries, ligament sprains, and overuse conditions using sport-specific protocols. Our therapists combine strength training with biomechanical analysis to restore function and prevent re-injury for athletes of all levels.
Spine Rehabilitation
Spine rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility and reducing pain in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions. Treatment includes therapeutic exercises, posture correction, and manual techniques for conditions like scoliosis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. We emphasize core stabilization to prevent future back problems.
Custom Orthotic Fitting
Custom orthotic fitting provides personalized arch support solutions for foot and lower limb conditions. We create biomechanical corrections for plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and gait abnormalities through comprehensive gait analysis and 3D foot mapping technology.
Parkinson's Disease Program
Our LSVT BIG certified program addresses movement impairments in Parkinson's patients. Specialized exercises focus on amplitude training to counteract bradykinesia, improve balance, and maintain functional independence through evidence-based neuroplasticity principles.
