Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a hands-on technique used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other healthcare providers to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves the use of skilled hand movements to mobilize joints, stretch soft tissues, and improve circulation. Techniques within manual therapy include joint mobilizations, manipulations, soft tissue massage, and stretching. The goal is to reduce pain, enhance movement, restore function, and promote healing by addressing issues such as joint stiffness, muscle tension, and restricted range of motion.

What is spinal manipulation/mobilization?

Spinal manipulation and spinal mobilization are manual therapy techniques used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and osteopathic physicians to treat musculoskeletal issues, particularly those related to the spine. Spinal manipulation involves applying a controlled, quick thrust to a spinal joint to improve alignment and enhance joint function. On the other hand, spinal mobilization involves applying gentle, oscillating movements to the affected joint. Both techniques aim to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and restore proper spinal alignment. They are commonly used for conditions like back pain, neck pain, and certain types of headaches.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a traditional practice where cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction is thought to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. There are two main types: dry cupping, which involves creating suction with the cups alone, and wet cupping, which involves making small incisions in the skin before applying the cups to draw out a small amount of blood. The therapy is used to address pain, muscle soreness, and inflammation, and has roots in various cultures, including Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique used by physical therapists and other healthcare professionals to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points within a muscle, called trigger points, to relieve pain and improve movement. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on Western anatomical and physiological principles. The needles used in dry needling do not inject any substances; they are inserted into the skin and muscle to stimulate a healing response and help reduce muscle tension.

Concierge Physical Therapy

Concierge physical therapy is a personalized approach to physical therapy where patients receive more individualized attention and care compared to traditional models. This model emphasizes convenience, personalized care, and enhanced patient-therapist relationships. This type of service often involves:

One-on-One Sessions: Patients typically work directly with a physical therapist for the entire duration of their appointment, rather than sharing time with other patients.

Extended Appointment Times: Sessions may be longer, allowing for more thorough evaluation and treatment.

Flexible Scheduling: Therapists may offer more flexible hours and appointment times to accommodate the patient's schedule.

In-Home or On-Site Care: Some concierge services include home visits or therapy provided at a convenient location, rather than requiring patients to visit a clinic.

Comprehensive Care: The service often includes a detailed and customized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
