Services
Acoustic Shockwave Therapy
Acoustic shockwave therapy delivers targeted energy pulses to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment improves blood flow and accelerates tissue repair for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and rotator cuff injuries. Patients typically experience reduced pain and improved mobility after 3-6 sessions, making it ideal for stubborn tendonitis and sports injuries that haven't responded to conventional treatments.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy uses light energy to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue healing. This painless treatment effectively addresses osteoarthritis, disc herniations, and post-surgical swelling. Each 2-minute session promotes cellular repair and improves circulation, making it particularly effective for joint pain and acute injuries while avoiding medication side effects.
Functional Dry Needling
Functional dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve mobility. Thin needles stimulate healing responses in soft tissues, effectively treating chronic pain, headaches, and sports injuries. This technique decreases nerve sensitivity while improving range of motion, often producing immediate results when combined with traditional physical therapy exercises.
Pediatric Physical Therapy
Our pediatric specialists address developmental delays and neurological conditions in children from infancy through adolescence. Comprehensive assessments guide individualized treatment plans for cerebral palsy, torticollis, and developmental delays. We focus on improving motor skills, balance, and functional independence through play-based therapy while providing family education and home exercise programs.
Spinal Traction Decompression
Spinal traction decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This non-surgical treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease by creating negative disc pressure that promotes nutrient flow. Patients experience reduced back/neck pain and improved mobility through a series of targeted decompression sessions.
