Arthritis Pain Relief
Our arthritis treatment program combines manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and pain management techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation. Physical therapists create customized plans to maintain function and slow disease progression while educating patients on self-management strategies. Treatment focuses on preserving range of motion and strengthening surrounding musculature to support affected joints.
Dry Needling
Certified therapists use thin filament needles to target myofascial trigger points causing chronic pain. This technique releases muscle tension, improves blood flow, and accelerates healing for conditions like back pain, headaches, and sports injuries. Sessions often produce noticeable relief within 1-2 treatments while promoting long-term muscle function restoration.
Cupping Therapy
Using controlled suction, cupping therapy increases circulation, reduces muscle tension, and promotes tissue healing. Our therapists employ longitudinal, cross-fiber, and circular techniques to address soft tissue restrictions and improve mobility in areas affected by chronic pain or injury.
Electrical Stimulation
We utilize electrical stimulation to manage acute and chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and prevent muscle atrophy. This modality enhances recovery by improving circulation, decreasing swelling, and facilitating neuromuscular re-education through targeted electrical impulses that stimulate healing processes.
Joint Mobilization
Our skilled therapists perform controlled joint movements to improve range of motion, decrease pain, and restore normal joint mechanics. This hands-on approach addresses restrictions in shoulders, knees, spine, and extremities caused by injury, arthritis, or post-surgical stiffness through graded mobilization techniques.

I went to Mark for my right knee which had been hurting me for almost 2 years after a ski accident. The team at Howard had me fixed and running again in less than 2 months! Very happy with the result.

I have great trust and respect for Mark Howard and his team. They are professional and personable. The equipment and exercises are great and suited for each individual. They helped me immensely after my knee replacement and several years later I am back with them for my back. I trust them and highly recommend them.

Report
All of the staff are super friendly and helpful. They take the time to explain the paperwork you fill out. While doing the exercises they explain everything and even show you what they need you to do. They go above and beyond with everything! They give you lots of advise and so much information. I had seen Mark and he did not push me to do more than I could handle, from what I saw none of them do. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Best customer service and care I've received in a long time hands down.
