Physical Therapy

Spinal Therapy

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that helps restore the proper function of an injured disc. A mechanical traction technique is used to gently stretch, producing a suction force inside the disc. Most patients report improvements and a reduction in their pain after a few sessions. This therapy is highly recommended for treating herniated discs, pinched nerves, and sciatica pain (lower back, hip, and leg).

Manual Physical Therapy

Manual Physical Therapy or Orthopedic Manual Therapy encompasses hands-on techniques that are used to decrease pain and improve range-of-motion and flexibility. Both mobilization and manipulation are key components of manual therapy as they restore the power of movement to joints and associated muscles. This therapy is especially beneficial if you are experiencing spine problems, joint or muscle injuries, or other health conditions.

Sports Medicine

Sports physical therapy focuses on the prevention, identification, minimization, and correction of pain and disability associated with athletic injuries.  The treatment goal is to maximize participation and performance. Techniques may include Pre-participation Screening, Cardiovascular, Resistance, Endurance and Neuromuscular Re-education Exercise Programs, Taping and Bracing, Ergonomic and Training Regimens, Manual, Aquatic and Orthopedic Physical Therapies.

Work Injury Rehabilitation

Our therapists work closely with employers, nurse case managers and referring physicians to offer a comprehensive work injury rehabilitation program. We treat a variety of workplace injuries, aiming to reduce or eliminate pain and return individuals to work. Our treatment plan includes alleviating pain, injury-specific education to prevent re-injury, increased flexibility and range of motion, increased strength, and improved motion.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

This therapy helps correct issues with vertigo, dizziness, imbalance/falls, spatial disorientation, vision disturbance, hearing changes and cognitive and/or psychological changes. The Vestibular system includes the parts of the inner ear and brain that process the sensory information that controls balance and eye movements. We conduct an assessment that evaluates three primary systems (visual, sensation and vestibular). Then, a custom treatment program is designed that helps restore balance and treat the sensory issues.

Kinesiology Taping

The Kinesio® Taping Method is a technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion. It’s latex-free and wearable for days. It’s used for all ages ranging from pediatric to geriatric individuals. It’s used to help treat and minimize pain associated with orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and other medical conditions. 

Pelvic Floor

Pelvic floor therapy focuses on addressing dysfunction of the pelvic floor in men and women. Your therapist will perform a thorough evaluation and work with you to identify any imbalances of the pelvic floor to create an individualized treatment plan. Treatment will include internal and/or external therapy, and exercises to help decrease pain and symptoms to restore normal function. Pelvic floor PT is beneficial for those with:

• Pregnancy/Post-partum
• Diastasis Recti
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Vulvodynia
• Vaginismus
• Urinary/fecal incontinence
• Chronic Constipation
• Chronic Pelvic pain
• Interstitial cystitis
• Endometriosis
• Painful intercourse

(TMD) / Jaw Pain

This therapy restores the natural movement of your jaw and decreases pain. Our physical therapists will teach you special “low-load” exercises that don’t exert a lot of pressure on your TMJ. It strengthens the muscles of the jaw and restores a more natural, pain-free motion. Symptoms of TMJ include jaw pain, fatigue, difficulty opening your mouth to eat or talk, ringing in the ears, headache, popping sounds in the jaw, neck pain, and locking jaw.
