Services
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy employs skilled hand techniques to improve joint and soft tissue mobility. This approach effectively addresses musculoskeletal conditions like neck/back pain and joint stiffness through targeted manipulation and mobilization. Our therapists combine traditional methods with modern techniques to restore normal movement patterns and reduce pain.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized balance therapy treats dizziness and vertigo through customized exercise programs. Using Frenzel goggles for precise eye movement analysis, our therapists develop targeted interventions for BPPV and other vestibular disorders. This evidence-based approach improves balance, reduces fall risk, and enhances overall stability for patients with inner ear issues.
Whole Body Rebalancing
Whole Body Rebalancing utilizes the HUBER 360 system for comprehensive movement assessment and treatment. This technology-driven approach addresses strength, flexibility, and coordination deficits through real-time feedback exercises. The program effectively improves joint health, circulation, and fall prevention for diverse patient populations.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic waves to stimulate tissue healing and reduce chronic pain. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and erectile dysfunction through enhanced blood flow and cellular regeneration. Our clinic offers both focused and radial shockwave modalities for optimal treatment outcomes.
Fall Prevention Programs
Our fall prevention programs combine advanced assessment tools with personalized exercise regimens. Using the HUBER 360 system, we identify specific balance deficits and develop targeted interventions to improve stability. These programs incorporate strength training, coordination exercises, and real-time feedback to significantly reduce fall risk in senior patients.
