Orthopedics
These treatments focus on essential joint, muscles, tendons, and ligaments and work to improve mobility and relieve pain.
Functional Dry Needling
Our therapists use drying needling to treat pain and movement issues. This can help relieve pain associated with joint issues, migraines, TMJ, carpal tunnel, disc issues and more.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy treats speech impediments, voice disorders, and issues with swallowing. It works to strengthen the muscles used in speech.
Pediatrics
Physical therapy for children helps to improve mobility and treat physical limitations associated with injury or disease.
Aquatic Therapy
Our warm therapeutic pool promotes muscle relaxation and helps decrease pain and spasms. Aquatic therapy can positively impact movement, strength, and function.
