Physical Therapy

Physical therapists are trained to evaluate a person’s mobility, strength, flexibility, and quality of movement. Together with our patients we develop a program to achieve their treatment goals. Our therapists use a “hands-on” approach to alleviate pain and restore the body to normal function in terms of strength, flexibility, movement coordination, and endurance. Patients are educated in regards to injury prevention and exercise prescription so that they may continue to enjoy participating in their activities of daily living.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a needling technique based on traditional Chinese medicine. It is used to treat a broad spectrum of problems, both physical and emotional. For example, acupuncture can be used for pain relief, arthritis, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, emotional conditions such as stress and addictions, as well as a variety of other medical conditions.

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

Tightened or shortened muscles cause pain by pulling on tendons as well as compressing the joints that they cross. This can lead to degeneration of joints, tendonitis and extremely tender trigger points in the muscle. IMS is a needling technique that is used in the treatment of chronic pain. The therapist specifically targets and releases shortened muscles, which have tender palpable banding or trigger points by introducing fine needles into the tissues.

Treatment - $85.00
