Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping is a rehabilitative taping method that facilitates the body's natural healing process while providing support to muscles and joints without restricting movement.
Decompression
Decompression provides a controlled, gentle stretch of the spine. It is beneficial for herniated discs, sciatica, pain radiating down arms and legs, pinched nerves, facet syndrome, degenerative disc disease, and more.
Interferential Current (IFC)
Using electrodes placed on your skin, electrical impulses are then sent through your skin stimulating nerves and tissues speeding up your body's natural healing process. IFC is beneficial for inflammation, swelling, pain reduction, improving restricted movements, and more.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to treat muskuloskeletal issues like inflammation from things like tendonitis, bursitis, and injuries.
Cold Laser Therapy
Light energy is used to increase the healing rate of damaged cells. This non-invasive therapy supports the body to heal itself at a faster rate. When receiving laser therapy you will wear special goggles to protect your eyes from the laser.
Acupuncture / Dry Needling
Acupuncture is a safe, effective alternative to pain medication. Very fine needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points to encourage your body's natural healing process. Each treatment is unique to the individual.
Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture is a form of acupuncture where a small electrical current is passed between acupuncture needles that are inserted into precise points. This type of treatment can be particularly good for pain control.
Rehabilitative Exercise Therapy
Rehabilitative exercises are an important part of your recovery. The goal is to help restore endurance, range of motion, and regain strength. With the use of our in house gyms and equipment, we will guide you through the process by teaching you the proper exercises while monitoring your body mechanics, breathing patterns, and posture thus ensuring you are receiving the maximum benefits of your personalized exercise program. Whether your goal is a walk in the park with your family or participating in a sporting event, this therapy may be right for you.
Massage / Myofascial Release
'Myo' simply means muscle and 'fascia' is a web like connective tissue. When we have stress or injuries, this 'web' can become contracted, thick, and adhere to surrounding structures such as your muscles. This can cause painful symptoms. During your treatment with one of our therapists, we will manually feel for these restrictions and by applying controlled precise pressure or stretch, we can release the adhesion helping to relieve your pain.
Footlevelers Custom Made Orthotics
Foot Imbalances can cause a ripple effect of imbalances and pain upward throughout our body. Custom made Footlevelers orthotics can balance and support you. Made in a variety of materials and styles to suit the demand of your lifestyle, we can determine the proper support for you in work, life, and play.
Supportive Braces
Braces are sometimes required to provide stabilization and pain relief. Supportive braces are helpful for a variety of areas including, but not limited to, low back, knees, wrists, ankles, and elbows. Using your body dimensions and individual needs, we offer supportive braces for your condition. When you purchase your brace from us we will educate you on the proper way to wear your brace including on/off times.
