Osteopractic Physical Therapy

  • Osteopractic Physical Therapy is a specialized sub-field within physical therapy that emphasizes advanced techniques such as dry needling and spinal manipulation. This approach offers a more precise and comprehensive form of care, allowing individuals to benefit from targeted treatments tailored to their specific conditions. By clearly defining the scope and expertise of Osteopractic Physical Therapy, the public, potential patients, and healthcare professionals can more easily identify the most appropriate practitioner for their needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and effective management of neuromusculoskeletal issues.

  • Just as you would consult an orthopedist for a broken bone, a dermatologist for a skin condition, or a pediatrician for your child's medical needs, it is essential to seek a specialist for specific physical ailments. For conditions such as neck pain, low back pain, headaches, tennis elbow, heel pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, shoulder impingement, or joint pain, an Osteopractic Physical Therapist is the specialist you need. With advanced post-graduate training and expertise in neuromusculoskeletal conditions, they provide targeted and effective treatment beyond what a general physical therapist can offer.

Performance/Sports Rehab

Most doctors advise athletes to rest during sports injuries. However, this has been shown to create more problems such as weakness and loss of motor coordination patterns due to long periods of inactivity. Our Performance/Sports Rehab program is designed to help athletes and active individuals recover from injuries and enhance their physical performance while staying as active as possible. We offer comprehensive rehabilitation services that focus on injury prevention, strength training, and functional movement improvement. Whether you're looking to return to your sport or improve your overall athletic performance, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into muscles, trigger points, tendons, joint structures, and peri-neural structures. This process helps release muscle tension, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. Additionally, dry needling can have neurophysiologic effects, such as reversing the process of chronic pain and improving muscle activation patterns. The technique enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and restores function, contributing to overall pain relief and improved physical performance.

Spinal Manipulation

Spinal manipulation is a therapeutic technique used to improve spinal and extremity function and alleviate pain. This approach involves applying a high velocity, small amplitude force to specific areas of the spine to restore function, enhance joint mobility, and reduce nerve irritability. Additionally, it may have neurophysiologic effects, such as reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, and promoting the body's natural healing responses, ultimately leading to better overall spinal health and function.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

This therapy addresses problems such as vertigo, dizziness, imbalance or falls, spatial disorientation, vision disturbances, hearing changes, and cognitive or psychological alterations. The vestibular system, which includes components of the inner ear and brain, is responsible for processing sensory information that regulates balance and eye movements. We perform an assessment that evaluates the three main systems—visual, sensory, and vestibular. Based on this evaluation, we create a personalized treatment plan aimed at restoring balance and addressing sensory issues.
