Dry Needling

 Dry needling is a form of therapy in which fine needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points (painful knots in muscles): tendons, ligaments or nerves in order to stimulate a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions. Dry needling is a modern, science-based intervention for the treatment of pain and dysfunction in musculoskeletal problems such as neck pain, shoulder impingement, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis or low-back pain. 

 Wound Care: Physical therapy wound care is a specialized treatment for open wounds (like diabetic, pressure, or surgical sores) that focuses on optimizing the healing environment, removing dead tissue (debridement), managing infection risk, and restoring function.

 Lymphedema: Physical therapy uses a multi-faceted approach involving gentle massage (Manual Lymphatic Drainage), specialized bandaging, custom exercises, compression garments, and skin care to move lymphatic fluid, reduce swelling, improve function, and prevent complications like infection. 

Joint and spine manipulation can be an important part of recovery from injury and help restore normal function and mobility. Our spine goes through a lot each day and spinal manipulation can help improve posture and mobility.

 Spinal manipulation does usually produce a cavitation or a "pop" sensation. If you feel tight and need your back "popped", "manipulated" or "adjusted" we can take care of that.

Falls are a leading cause of injury in adults over the age of 65. One in four persons over the age of 65 will fall in their home. While older adults are especially at risk there are several factors that increase the risk of falling, including poor strength, dizziness and medications. Our fall prevention and balance training courses include customized programs to fit the needs of the patient seeking preventative and post-fall balance training.
