Compassionate Care Through Every Wave Of Recovery

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.

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 (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 (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 (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 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.

What is LSVT BIG?

LSVT BIG is an evidence-based, intensive physical therapy program designed to help individuals with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions improve movement, balance, and quality of life. The “BIG” in LSVT BIG refers to the emphasis on large, exaggerated movements—helping patients retrain their brains and bodies to move more normally and confidently in everyday life.

This specialized therapy is rooted in principles of motor learning and neuroplasticity, and it focuses on improving amplitude of movement, which often becomes reduced in people with Parkinson’s. Sessions are typically one-on-one with a certified LSVT BIG therapist and involve high-effort, high-repetition exercises tailored to each individual’s needs.

Who Can Benefit from LSVT BIG?

LSVT BIG is primarily designed for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, but it can also benefit people with other movement disorders or neurological conditions that affect mobility, balance, or coordination. Ideal candidates include those who:

• Have been recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease
• Are experiencing changes in walking, posture, or balance
• Want to maintain independence and improve daily functional movements
• Those who have other neurological conditions with similar movement challenges may benefit but will be determined on a case by case basis

If you or a loved one is living with Parkinson’s or another neurological condition, LSVT BIG may be a powerful step toward reclaiming mobility and confidence.
