• Physical Therapy Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) are highly-educated, licensed health care professionals who can help patients reduce pain, improve mobility and restore function. Physical therapy can often reduce the need for expensive surgery and the need for long-term use of prescription medications and their side effects. Physical Therapists can teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits. Our doctors evaluate each individual and develop a plan of care, using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. In addition, DPTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing wellness programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.
• Massage Therapy Massage therapists treat clients by using touch to manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. With their touch, therapists relieve pain, help heal injuries, improve circulation, relieve stress, increase relaxation, and aid in the general wellness of clients. Massage therapists may use lotions and oils, and massage tables or chairs, when treating a client. Therapists talk with clients about what they hope to achieve through massage. Massage therapists may suggest personalized treatment plans for their clients, including information about additional relaxation techniques to practice between sessions. Massage therapists can specialize in many different types of massage or modalities. Swedish massage, deep-tissue massage, and sports massage are just a few of the many modalities of massage therapy. Most massage therapists specialize in several modalities, which require different techniques. The type of massage given typically depends on the client’s needs and physical condition. For example, therapists may use a special technique for elderly clients that they would not use for athletes. Some forms of massage are given solely to one type of client; for example, prenatal massage is given only to pregnant women.
• Acupuncture Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are extremely successful in the treatment of a multitude of medical conditions. Many people try acupuncture and oriental medicine to avoid surgery and prevent illness. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are based on the idea of balance. Health problems arise when the natural state of harmony is compromised. Acupuncture, tui na, and herbs work to balance your body making you feel energized and healthier. Acupuncture is also often used as a preventative modality. Many people see an acupuncturist regularly to foster homeostasis throughout their body. This can prevent disease and promote health, energy and vitality.
