Spinal and Extremity Manipulation
Spinal manipulation, also known as spinal adjustment, is a hands-on therapy technique used by chiropractors, physical therapists, and osteopaths to improve spinal function, reduce pain, and restore mobility. It involves applying a controlled, sudden force to a specific joint in the spine to realign vertebrae, reduce nerve irritation, and improve movement.
Vestibular and Post-Concussion
The vestibular system is part of the inner ear and brain that controls balance, spatial orientation, and coordination. When it is damaged due to injury, illness, or neurological conditions, it can cause symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues. A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can cause dizziness, headaches, memory issues, and sensitivity to light/sound. If symptoms persist for weeks or months, it’s called Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS).
Ultrasound Guided Dry Needling
Ultrasound-Guided Dry Needling (UGDN) is an advanced form of dry needling therapy that uses real-time ultrasound imaging to precisely insert a thin, solid filament needle into trigger points, muscles, tendons, or fascia. This technique enhances accuracy, safety, and effectiveness in treating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training is a specialized exercise technique that partially restricts blood flow to muscles using a tourniquet or specialized cuff while performing low-load resistance training. This method helps build strength, endurance, and muscle size while using significantly lighter weights, reducing strain on joints and tissues.
Prescriptive Restorative Exercises
Prescriptive Restorative Exercises (PREs) are customized exercises designed by physical therapists, chiropractors, or movement specialists to help individuals restore mobility, improve function, and reduce pain. These exercises are tailored to an individual’s specific needs based on their injury, movement limitations, or postural imbalances.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment approach used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other healthcare providers to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance function. It includes various techniques like cupping, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), and Mulligan mobilization to address musculoskeletal dysfunctions.
