Services
Chronic Pain Management
Our specialized approach addresses both mechanical and chemical pain sources through personalized treatment plans. We combine manual therapy, targeted exercises, and patient education to identify root causes and develop long-term solutions. Our therapists focus on restoring function while minimizing reliance on medication.
Dry Needling
This advanced technique targets specific muscle trigger points to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Our certified therapists use sterile needles to release tightness and promote healing, particularly effective for sports injuries and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Treatment is always combined with comprehensive rehabilitation programs.
Vestibular Rehab
Using state-of-the-art infrared video goggles, we diagnose and treat dizziness and balance disorders. Our specialized programs address conditions like BPPV, Meniere's disease, and concussion-related vestibular dysfunction through customized exercise protocols and advanced diagnostic techniques.
Post-Op Rehabilitation
We provide comprehensive care following orthopedic surgeries including joint replacements and spinal procedures. Our therapists develop progressive recovery plans focusing on pain management, mobility restoration, and functional strengthening to optimize surgical outcomes and prevent complications.
Women's Health
Specialized care addresses pregnancy-related pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and postpartum recovery. Our therapists perform comprehensive assessments including internal pelvic exams to create individualized treatment plans focusing on improving pelvic stability and addressing urinary incontinence issues.
