What Treatments Do We Offer?
Treatment | What it does |
|---|---|
Manual therapy | Hands-on techniques that ease muscle tension and free up stiff joints |
Therapeutic exercise | Builds strength, flexibility and balance so the problem is less likely to return |
Spinal decompression | Gently reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves on a computer-controlled table |
Shockwave therapy | Uses acoustic pressure waves to help stubborn tendon and soft-tissue pain heal |
Dry needling | Targets tight, painful knots in the muscle |
Posture and movement training | Teaches you safer ways to lift, sit and move at work and at home |
Your clinician chooses the treatments that fit your condition. Not every patient needs every treatment.
What Happens at Your First Visit?
Your history. We ask how the pain started, what makes it better or worse, and what you want to get back to doing.
A full evaluation. Your clinician checks your movement, strength, posture and, when needed, nerve function, to find the cause of the problem.
A clear plan. You leave knowing what is causing your pain, which treatments we recommend, and roughly how many visits to expect.
Treatment starts. In most cases, treatment begins on the first visit, along with simple exercises to do at home.
What Should I Ask When Choosing a Physical Therapist?
Will a licensed clinician examine me before treatment starts?
Will I get one-on-one time with my therapist at each visit?
Do you treat patients in Spanish?

How will we measure my progress?
