There is a wide variety of treatment options available at our physical therapy clinic. Depending on your injury or condition you may be prescribed one or more of the following therapeutic modalities. Acoustic Wave Therapy Acoustic wave therapy (AWT) is a mechanical stimulation that promotes the body’s natural healing processes. In AWT, sound waves are used to stimulate natural, safe reactions within tissue to help the tissues return to their optimal and homeostatic state. AWT can treat a huge range of conditions, ranging from musculoskeletal injuries to chronic pain. One of the main benefits of AWT is the creation of new blood vessels. This increases blood flow to injured or weakened areas and helps eliminate inflammatory cells that cause pain. Laser Therapy Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses concentrated light to treat patients. This non-invasive technique promotes cellular healing and decreases inflammation. Laser therapy can reduce pain and restore normal range of motion to the dysfunctional area. Though this method of treatment might sound intimidating, it is perfectly safe and has been approved by the FDA since 2003! This treatment option offers a safer alternative to surgery and the continued use of prescription medication.

Craniosacral Therapy According to Cleveland Clinic, “Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment that may provide relief from a variety of symptoms including headaches, neck pain and side effects of cancer treatment among many others.” When a therapist performs CST, they use a gentle touch to move fluids in and around the central nervous system. Reducing tension in the central nervous system promotes a sense of well- being by alleviating pain and improving health and immunity. Myofascial Release Therapy Myofascial release is a manual, hands-on treatment that helps with pain relief by easing the tension in your muscles. It is performed by massage therapists, physiotherapists, and chiropractors and focuses on specific pressure points to bring the myofascial back to its elastic form.
