Treatments We Provide!
Post-COVID Physiotherapy
Post-COVID physiotherapy is an essential treatment approach for individuals recovering from COVID-19, especially for those who experience lingering symptoms after their initial recovery, a condition often referred to as Post-COVID Syndrome or Long COVID.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment method that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues, muscles, and bones. It’s commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions that involve chronic pain, inflammation, and tissue degeneration.
Chest Physiotherapy
Chest physiotherapy (CPT) is a specialized type of physical therapy aimed at improving respiratory function, promoting airway clearance, and enhancing lung health. It's commonly used for individuals with respiratory conditions or diseases that affect the lungs and airways, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, and bronchitis.
Cryotherapy(Cold Therapy)
Cryotherapy, or cold therapy, is the use of cold temperatures to treat various injuries and conditions. It is commonly used in physical therapy and sports medicine to help reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling.
Pelvic floor Physical Therapy
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy (PFPT) is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that make up the pelvic floor—the group of muscles that support organs like the bladder, uterus, prostate, and rectum. These muscles are crucial for bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability.
Traction Therapy
Traction therapy is a type of physical therapy treatment that involves the application of a stretching or pulling force to a specific area of the body, often the spine or joints, to relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote healing. It is commonly used to treat conditions related to musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the spine, and can be helpful in managing conditions like herniated discs, muscle spasms, and joint stiffness.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Soft Tissue Mobilization (STM) is a manual therapy technique used by physical therapists, massage therapists, and other healthcare providers to treat musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, and dysfunction. The goal of soft tissue mobilization is to improve the function and mobility of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs) by applying various forms of pressure and movement.
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialized hands-on technique used in physical therapy and massage therapy to treat myofascial pain, which involves tightness, stiffness, and pain in the muscles and connective tissue (fascia). The therapy targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs in the body. The goal of MFR is to release these fascial restrictions or "tight spots" (often called myofascial trigger points), which can be causing pain and limiting mobility.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique that involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body. This practice has been used for thousands of years to treat various health conditions, manage pain, and promote overall wellness. According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by balancing the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee"), which is the body’s vital energy. Disruptions in the flow of Qi are believed to lead to illness, pain, or dysfunction. Acupuncture aims to restore balance and improve the flow of Qi, thereby enhancing health and well-being.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy is an ancient alternative medicine practice that has been used in various cultures, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), for thousands of years. It involves creating a vacuum inside glass, bamboo, or silicone cups placed on the skin. The suction pulls the skin and underlying tissues into the cup, which is believed to promote healing, increase blood flow, and remove toxins from the body.
Kinesio Taping / Taping Therapy
Kinesio Taping (often referred to as Kinesiology Taping or Taping Therapy) is a therapeutic technique used to support and relieve pain in muscles and joints. It involves applying a special, elastic adhesive tape (known as Kinesio tape) to the skin. The tape is designed to mimic the skin's elasticity and is used to provide support without restricting movement. Kinesio Taping is commonly used in sports medicine, physical therapy, and rehabilitation to treat a wide range of injuries and conditions.
Chiropractic Therapy
Chiropractic Therapy is a form of healthcare that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those involving the spine. Chiropractors use manual manipulation techniques, often referred to as spinal adjustments, to improve spinal alignment, enhance mobility, and promote overall health. Chiropractic therapy is based on the belief that proper alignment of the spine and nervous system can positively affect the body’s overall function and healing.
Spinal Decompression / Traction Therapy
Spinal Decompression Therapy (also known as Traction Therapy) is a non-invasive treatment method designed to relieve pressure on the spine, particularly the discs, nerves, and joints. It is commonly used to treat conditions like herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. The therapy works by gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure, which can help restore the natural position of the vertebrae, reduce pain, and promote healing.
Dry Needling Therapy
Dry Needling Therapy is a technique used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other healthcare professionals to treat muscle pain and trigger points (tight, tender knots within muscles). It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific areas of the muscle, fascia, or connective tissue to relieve pain, reduce muscle tightness, and improve range of motion. Dry needling is often confused with acupuncture, but they are different techniques with distinct purposes and methodologies.
Wax Therapy
Wax Therapy (also known as Paraffin Wax Therapy) is a therapeutic treatment that uses warm, melted paraffin wax to soothe and soften the skin, as well as provide relief from pain and stiffness. It is often used in physical therapy settings, as well as in spa treatments, to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, and skin conditions.
THERMOTHERAPY (Heat Therapy)
Thermotherapy (also known as Heat Therapy) is a therapeutic technique that involves the application of heat to the body to relieve pain, improve blood circulation, and promote relaxation. It is commonly used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle pain, stiffness, and joint discomfort. Heat therapy can be applied in several ways, including through hot packs, warm baths, infrared heating pads, and even steam.
Manual Therapy
Manual Therapy is a hands-on treatment technique used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other healthcare providers to manipulate the body's muscles, joints, and soft tissues. The goal of manual therapy is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function. It is often used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, including joint stiffness, muscle tightness, and soft tissue injuries. Manual therapy techniques involve the therapist using their hands to apply pressure, manipulate joints, or stretch muscles and connective tissue. This can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve the movement and flexibility of the body.
LASER Therapy
Laser Therapy (also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy or Cold Laser Therapy) is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to promote healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation in tissues. It is commonly used in physical therapy, rehabilitation, and pain management to treat musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, and a variety of other health issues. Unlike the high-energy lasers used for surgery or cutting, low-level lasers (also known as Class 3B lasers) are used in therapeutic settings to provide healing benefits without causing damage to the skin or tissues. Manual therapy techniques involve the therapist using their hands to apply pressure, manipulate joints, or stretch muscles and connective tissue. This can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve the movement and flexibility of the body.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound Therapy is a therapeutic treatment used by physical therapists to treat musculoskeletal injuries, pain, and inflammation. It uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissue, promoting healing, reducing pain, and improving circulation. Unlike the ultrasound used for diagnostic imaging, therapeutic ultrasound operates at a much higher frequency and is used specifically for healing purposes.Manual therapy techniques involve the therapist using their hands to apply pressure, manipulate joints, or stretch muscles and connective tissue. This can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve the movement and flexibility of the body.
Conditions We Treat!
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that often appear twisted and bulging just beneath the surface of the skin. They most commonly affect the legs and feet but can develop in other parts of the body as well. Varicose veins are a result of weakened or damaged valves within the veins, which causes blood to flow backward and pool in the veins, leading to their enlargement.
Popliteal (Baker's) Cyst
A Popliteal (Baker's) Cyst is a fluid-filled swelling that forms behind the knee, in the popliteal fossa (the area at the back of the knee joint). It is named after William Baker, the British surgeon who first described it. While often asymptomatic, a Baker's cyst can sometimes cause discomfort or pain, particularly when it enlarges or puts pressure on surrounding structures.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament(PCL) Injury
A Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injury is an injury to one of the four major ligaments in the knee, the PCL, which connects the back of the femur (thigh bone) to the front of the tibia (shin bone). The PCL is responsible for stabilizing the knee and preventing the tibia from sliding too far backward relative to the femur. It plays a critical role in movements like walking, running, and jumping, as it helps prevent excessive backward movement of the shin bone.
Lateral Collateral Ligament(LCL) Injury
A Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) injury is a tear or sprain of the LCL, a ligament on the outside of the knee. The LCL connects the femur (thigh bone) to the fibula (small bone of the lower leg) and provides stability to the outer side of the knee joint. It plays a critical role in preventing excessive side-to-side (varus) motion of the knee.
Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Injury
A Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injury is a tear or sprain of the MCL, a ligament located on the inner side of the knee. The MCL connects the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone), providing stability to the inner part of the knee joint and preventing the knee from bending inward. MCL injuries are among the most common knee injuries, especially in athletes.
Patella Dislocation
A patella dislocation occurs when the patella (kneecap) is displaced from its normal position in the femoral groove (the groove at the end of the femur or thigh bone where the patella rests during knee motion). This can be a painful injury that affects the knee's ability to function properly. Patella dislocation is most common in young individuals, particularly athletes, and it can occur due to trauma, certain movements, or anatomical issues.
Patellar Fracture
A patellar fracture is a break or crack in the patella (kneecap), which is a small, triangular bone that sits at the front of the knee. The patella serves to protect the knee joint and assists in the movement of the knee, particularly in activities such as walking, running, and jumping. A patellar fracture can cause significant pain, swelling, and difficulty with knee movement, often requiring treatment to restore normal function.
Meralgia Paresthetica
Meralgia Paresthetica is a condition characterized by numbness, tingling, pain, or burning sensations in the outer thigh, caused by compression or irritation of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). This nerve is responsible for providing sensation to the skin on the outer side of the thigh. The condition is typically not serious but can be uncomfortable and frustrating.
Hip Osteoarthritis
Hip Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage in the hip joint wears down over time. The hip joint, which connects the thigh bone (femur) to the pelvis, is a ball-and-socket joint, and the smooth cartilage allows the bones to move easily against each other. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage deteriorates, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Over time, the bones may start rubbing against each other, which can lead to further joint damage and disability.
Hip Impingement
Hip Impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), is a condition in which there is abnormal contact or "pinching" between the bones of the hip joint, specifically between the femoral head (the ball of the thigh bone) and the acetabulum (the socket in the pelvis). This abnormal contact causes damage to the cartilage and soft tissues in the hip joint, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. Over time, hip impingement can increase the risk of developing hip osteoarthritis.
Hip Labral Tear
A hip labral tear is an injury to the labrum, which is the ring of cartilage that surrounds the outer edge of the acetabulum (the socket of the hip joint). The labrum helps to deepen the socket, providing stability to the hip joint by holding the femoral head (the ball of the thigh bone) in place. When the labrum tears, it can cause pain, instability, and difficulty moving the hip joint properly.
TROCHANTERIC BURSITIS
Trochanteric bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa located over the greater trochanter, which is the prominent bony area on the outer side of the upper femur (thigh bone). The greater trochanter is an important site for muscle attachment, including the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles, which are responsible for hip stability and movement.
Hip Fracture
A hip fracture is a break in the femur (thigh bone), typically occurring in the area near the hip joint. It is a common and serious injury, particularly among older adults, often resulting from a fall or trauma. Hip fractures can have significant consequences, including pain, loss of mobility, and a prolonged recovery period.
Radial Tunnel Syndrome
Radial Tunnel Syndrome (RTS) is a condition caused by compression or irritation of the radial nerve as it travels through a narrow passage known as the radial tunnel in the forearm. The radial nerve is responsible for controlling the muscles involved in extending the wrist, fingers, and elbow, as well as providing sensation to parts of the forearm and hand. When the nerve is compressed or irritated, it can result in pain, weakness, and loss of function in the affected arm and hand.
Biceps Tendonitis
Biceps Tendonitis (also called Biceps Tendonitis or Bicipital Tendonitis) is an inflammation or irritation of the biceps tendon, which connects the biceps muscle in the upper arm to the bones in the shoulder and elbow. This condition typically affects the long head of the biceps tendon, which runs along the front of the shoulder joint, and can cause pain, swelling, and weakness in the upper arm and shoulder.
