Services
Functional Dry Needling
Functional Dry Needling uses filament needles to treat neuromuscular dysfunction through Western medicine principles. This technique disrupts pain signals to the brain, alleviating conditions like chronic pain, headaches, and athletic injuries. Patients receive a free initial session with physical therapy appointments, with subsequent sessions costing $20 to cover supplies. The treatment is billed through insurance and focuses on releasing muscle tension and promoting healing.
AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill
The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill uses Differential Air Pressure technology to reduce body weight impact during rehabilitation. Patients can walk or run with 20-100% body weight support, decreasing joint stress while maintaining normal gait mechanics. Pricing ranges from $15 for a single session to $699 annual membership, with discounts available for student athletes. This technology aids post-surgical recovery, neurological conditions, and weight loss programs.
Sportsmetrics Training
Sportsmetrics is a 6-week program focused on injury prevention and performance enhancement for athletes. Certified physical therapist Dr. Julianne Smith leads sessions that combine rehabilitation with sport-specific training. Self-pay options start at $50 per session for individuals, decreasing to $20 per session for groups of 4-6 athletes. The program addresses knee pain, hip instability, and repetitive injuries through strength and conditioning protocols.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation treats dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues through exercise-based therapy targeting the inner ear system. Certified therapists address conditions like Meniere's disease and labyrinthitis using customized treatment plans. The program integrates with other therapies to improve daily functioning and reduce fall risks for patients with chronic balance disorders.
Pediatric Therapy
Pediatric Therapy focuses on helping children overcome movement limitations from injuries, developmental delays, or medical conditions. Therapists address low muscle tone, coordination issues, and post-injury rehabilitation through play-based interventions. Treatment includes parent involvement for home exercises and utilizes specialized equipment to improve strength, balance, and functional mobility in children of all ages.
