Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address musculoskeletal and neurological conditions through personalized treatment plans. We combine manual therapy, corrective exercises, and patient education to restore mobility and reduce pain. Each session focuses on identifying the root cause of dysfunction, whether from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions. By emphasizing evidence-based techniques, we help patients regain strength, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. Our approach ensures long-term recovery without reliance on medication or invasive procedures.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics provide tailored support for foot pain, gait issues, and biomechanical imbalances. We use plaster casting to create precise molds, ensuring optimal alignment and comfort. These devices address conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and arthritis by redistributing pressure and correcting structural abnormalities. Our orthotics enhance mobility for athletes, active individuals, and those with chronic foot conditions. The process includes comprehensive assessment, 3D modeling, and adjustments for lasting relief.
EMG Nerve Testing
EMG nerve testing evaluates neuromuscular health to diagnose conditions causing numbness, weakness, or pain. This diagnostic tool measures electrical activity in muscles and nerves, identifying issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy, or radiculopathy. Our in-office testing includes nerve conduction studies and needle EMG, interpreted by trained specialists. Accurate diagnosis enables targeted treatment plans for conditions ranging from sports injuries to chronic nerve disorders, ensuring effective recovery strategies.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-surgical rehabilitation accelerates recovery after procedures like joint replacements, spinal fusions, or ligament repairs. We collaborate with surgeons to create phased treatment plans focusing on pain management, mobility restoration, and strength rebuilding. Techniques include therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and functional training tailored to surgical protocols. Early intervention reduces complications and speeds return to daily activities, ensuring patients regain full function safely and efficiently.
Neck & Back Pain Therapy
Our neck and back pain therapy addresses acute and chronic conditions through targeted interventions. Treatments include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities like ultrasound or TENS units to alleviate stiffness and improve range of motion. We assess posture, ergonomic factors, and biomechanics to correct imbalances causing discomfort. Education on preventive strategies ensures long-term relief from pain related to disc herniations, muscle strains, or degenerative conditions.
