We as orthopedic physical therapists, diagnose, manage, and treat musculoskeletal disorders and injuries, as well as assist in recovery from orthopedic surgery. Combining science and motivation, we teach you how to prevent or manage your condition, helping you achieve long-term health.
The American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS) certifies within eight areas: Cardiovascular and Pulmonary, Clinical Electrophysiology, Geriatrics, Neurology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Sports, and Women’s Health.
Our PT specialists use various treatment methods to achieve the best results. One of these is instrument-assisted soft tissue release (IASTM), similar to Graston, which helps detect and treat scar tissue that limits normal movement. Using stainless steel tools, our therapists locate and break down scar tissue, stretch muscles and connective tissue, and improve blood flow to the injured area—important steps in the healing process.
Therapeutic cupping
This form of therapy uses suction to gently lift the skin, creating a vacuum over the targeted area. The cups remain in place for five to fifteen minutes, helping to treat pain, deep muscle scar tissue, adhesions, and swelling. We use medical-grade silicone cups, which are flexible enough to glide across the skin, providing a massage-like effect.
Dry Needling
This technique involves inserting a thin needle into soft tissues, such as muscle trigger points, fascia, tendons, and ligaments, to stimulate healing, relieve pain, and restore normal function. Research shows that dry needling effectively reduces pain, relieves muscle tension, corrects biochemical and electrical dysfunctions at motor endplates, and speeds up the return to active rehabilitation.
Joint mobilization/manipulation
This technique involves passive movement of a skeletal joint, typically focusing on one or more target synovial joints to achieve a therapeutic effect. Joint manipulation has been shown to provide:
- Temporary relief from musculoskeletal pain
- Faster recovery from acute back sprains
- Temporary increase in passive range of motion (ROM)
- Positive effects on the central nervous system
High velocity low amplitude (HVLA)
HVLA thrust is often referred to as manipulation. Our practitioners are highly trained in spinal and extremity manipulation to effectively treat musculoskeletal conditions.
The Kinesio Taping® Method
This rehabilitative taping technique is designed to support the body's natural healing process while stabilizing muscles and joints without limiting range of motion. It also provides extended soft tissue manipulation to enhance the effects of manual therapy. Our clinicians use this method to complement manual techniques, effectively addressing issues like uncontrolled edema, muscle spasms, and disorders related to muscle activation or inhibition.
