Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use hair-thin needles to improve circulation and nerve function for orthopedic and chronic pain conditions. This Traditional Chinese Medicine technique effectively addresses sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, and neurological issues by stimulating the body's natural healing processes. Patients benefit from combined Western and Eastern approaches that enhance treatment outcomes for musculoskeletal conditions.
Active Release Technique
ART treatments target muscle, tendon, and nerve injuries through precise manual manipulation of soft tissue adhesions. Our certified practitioners specialize in identifying and resolving biomechanical issues that cause pain and restricted movement. This patented technique accelerates recovery from repetitive strain injuries and sports-related soft tissue damage through customized treatment protocols.
Spinal Manipulation
Spinal adjustments restore joint mobility and reduce nerve compression through controlled manual techniques. We employ diversified methods including Gonstead, SOT, and Cox Flexion-Distraction approaches to treat back pain, sciatica, and disc herniations. These adjustments improve nutrient flow to spinal structures while reducing inflammation and muscle tension.
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Our post-operative care program accelerates recovery from orthopedic surgeries using targeted soft tissue treatments and rehabilitation exercises. Specializing in knee and hip procedures, we address swelling, stiffness, and scar tissue formation through advanced techniques that surpass traditional physical therapy outcomes. Many NYC orthopedic surgeons refer patients for our specialized post-surgical care.
EPAT Therapy
EPAT delivers acoustic waves to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions resistant to conventional therapies. This non-invasive treatment stimulates blood flow and metabolic activity to accelerate healing of tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other chronic injuries. As one of NYC's first providers, we utilize this European-developed technology for effective pain relief and tissue regeneration.
