Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Our therapists use thin needles to stimulate healing in skeletal muscles, effectively reducing chronic pain, scar tissue, and joint dysfunction. This technique accelerates recovery for conditions like tennis elbow and sciatica.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy employs skilled hand movements to restore joint mobility and reduce pain. Certified therapists perform advanced joint mobilizations to treat conditions like cervical stenosis and hip arthritis. This hands-on approach improves range of motion and decreases disability in musculoskeletal patients.
Therapeutic Activities
Therapeutic activities use resistance bands and functional exercises to rebuild strength and mobility. Tailored programs address post-surgical recovery and chronic pain management, helping patients regain independence in daily activities through evidence-based strengthening protocols.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-surgical rehabilitation focuses on restoring function after procedures like rotator cuff repairs or joint replacements. Individualized plans combine manual therapy and progressive exercises to optimize healing, reduce scar tissue, and return patients to full activity levels safely and efficiently.
Scar Tissue Management
Scar tissue management improves mobility and reduces pain in post-surgical scars. Techniques like dry needling and manual therapy break down adhesions, enhancing tissue elasticity and function following procedures like cervical fusions or joint repairs.

I was diagnosed with chronic headache 35+ yrs ago and for treatment have seen multiple neurologist, physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapist. I received no relief from medication and I have had little relief from therapy. The dry needling procedure preformed at JVPT has changed my life. Along with lifestyle changes I made 10 yrs ago, this has given me so much relief. I cant imagine my life without it. Its a unique experience that deserves so much recognition for what it is capable of doing. Anyone with chronic muscle pain should give this a try. Thank you so much Jamie !

As an adult, you look for the most convenient & cost effective place disregarding quality, but when it comes to your 10 year old child you look for the best. Jamie took such great care of my 10 year old that he looked forward to his next appointment, great care comes from passionate providers & Jamie is the best!

Jaime, I love you for fixing me every time I injure myself. I cannot brag enough about this physical therapist. She could easily be labeled the South Side Healer with her dry needling technique and ASTYM skills.

I have visited Jaime more recently for both cervical and lumbar related symptoms, both of which she has helped me with tremendously, from day one! It is very apparent that Jaime has a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding both patient diagnosis and treatment (particularly my spondylolisthesis); extensive training with her manual certifications; as well as overall clinical experience, making her a very well-rounded clinician. I witness the way in which she treats all of her patients with great kindness and respect, which I truly admire. Lastly, I particularly like the conscious effort she puts
