Acupuncture
Acupuncture provides holistic pain relief by stimulating nerve bundles to activate the body's natural healing processes. This treatment improves systemic function, reduces pain, and addresses conditions like arthritis, migraines, and sports injuries through non-invasive techniques.
Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill
The Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill enables low-impact rehabilitation by adjusting gravitational load during exercise. Beneficial for post-surgical recovery, injury prevention, and sports performance training, it allows safe mobility restoration for patients of all ages and abilities.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques like mobilization and soft tissue work to improve joint mobility and reduce pain. Effective for arthritis, muscle imbalances, and post-operative recovery, it combines customized interventions with targeted exercise programs.
McKenzie Therapy
McKenzie Therapy focuses on mechanical diagnosis and self-treatment for musculoskeletal issues. This method addresses back pain, neck pain, and extremity conditions through movement-based assessments and individualized exercise programs to promote natural healing.

Sports medicine specializes in injury treatment and prevention for athletes. Using evidence-based protocols, it addresses concussions, knee injuries, and muscle strains while implementing strengthening programs to enhance performance and reduce future injury risks.

Questions
What conditions does acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture effectively addresses arthritis, migraines, sports injuries, digestive disorders, and psychological conditions by stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms through targeted nerve activation.
How does the Alter-G Treadmill aid recovery?
This technology allows controlled weight-bearing exercise during rehabilitation, reducing joint stress while maintaining cardiovascular benefits for post-surgical patients and athletes recovering from injuries.
What makes McKenzie Therapy unique?
McKenzie Therapy uses movement-based diagnosis to identify mechanical pain sources, empowering patients with self-treatment techniques that avoid medication or surgical interventions.
Is physical therapy painful?
Therapy should not cause severe pain. While some discomfort may occur during healing, therapists modify approaches immediately if patients experience excessive soreness affecting daily activities.
How often are sessions needed?
Typical plans involve 2-3 weekly visits over 4-6 weeks, with initial intensive phases tapering as patients demonstrate functional improvements through consistent participation in prescribed programs.
What credentials do therapists hold?
Our team includes APTA-certified specialists, McKenzie Institute credentialed therapists, and licensed acupuncturists with advanced training in manual therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, and sports medicine.
