Services offered
Red Light Laser
Red Light Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular repair. It helps reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and relieve pain in muscles, joints, and soft tissues—making it ideal for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to injured tissues to stimulate healing, improve blood flow, and break down scar tissue or calcifications. It’s commonly used for chronic tendon issues such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder tendinopathies. This non-invasive treatment can significantly reduce pain and speed up recovery.
Fuctional Dry Needling
Functional Dry Needling (FDN) is a modern, evidence-based technique that targets trigger points—tight, sensitive knots within muscles that can cause pain and restrict movement. A thin filament needle is inserted into these points to release tension, improve blood flow, and restore normal muscle function. Unlike traditional acupuncture, FDN is focused on musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves the gentle insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to promote natural healing, reduce pain, and restore balance. Modern acupuncture is often used to relieve musculoskeletal pain, headaches, stress, and various chronic conditions.
Cupping
Cupping uses specialized glass or silicone cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This process increases circulation, helps relieve muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue recovery. Cupping can be beneficial for both acute and chronic pain, athletic recovery, and general relaxation.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound Therapy uses sound waves to generate deep tissue heat, increasing blood flow and promoting soft tissue healing. It can reduce pain, muscle spasms, and joint stiffness. This therapy is often used for sprains, strains, and tendon or ligament injuries to enhance the healing process.
Concussion Protocol
Concussion treatment focuses on safely managing and rehabilitating the effects of mild traumatic brain injury. Our approach includes a thorough assessment, symptom management, balance and vision training, cognitive exercises, and gradual return-to-play or work programs. The goal is to promote full recovery and prevent re-injury through individualized, evidence-based care.
