Paralysis/Facial Paralysis

Paralysis is a loss of strength in and control over a muscle or group of muscles in a part of the body. Physical therapy is an essential component in the treatment of facial paralysis. Physical therapy may reduce the side effects of synkinesis or enhance recovery after facial reanimation surgery.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy is damage or dysfunction of one or more nerves that typically results in numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and pain in the affected area. Physical therapy tackles the physical side of the inflammation, stiffness, and soreness with exercise, manipulation, and massage, but it also works to help the body heal itself by encouraging the production of the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. Physical therapy can also help decrease neuropathic pain.

Reffered Pain

Referred pain is pain perceived at a location other than the site of the painful stimulus/ origin. Physical therapy focuses on both source and manifested site of pain.

Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function, such as mobility and/or feeling.

Brain Injury

Brain dysfunction caused by an outside force, usually a violent blow to the head. Physical therapists help people with TBI regain their physical function, relearn daily tasks, and restore their fitness and wellness.

Fracture Post-Op Rehab

A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. Physical therapy after fracture helps you improve your functional mobility.

Joint Replacement Post-Op Therapy

Surgery will correct the joint problems but associated muscle weakness that was present before the surgery will remain and require post-operative rehabilitation

Conservative Management of Osteoarthritis

Treatment for osteoarthritis begins with conservative methods and progresses to surgical treatment options when conservative treatment fails.

Sprain

Wrench or twist the ligaments of (an ankle, wrist, or other joint) violently so as to cause pain and swelling but not dislocation.

Ligament/Meniscus Injury

A common injury in which forceful twisting causes certain tissue in the knee to tear.

Post Amputation Rehab

The ultimate goal of rehabilitation after limb loss is to ambulate successfully with the use of a prosthesisand to return to a high level of social reintegration.

Low Back Pain

Common forms of physical therapy include; passive physical therapy (modalities), which includes things done to the patient, such as heat application, ice packs and electrical stimulation & active physical therapy, which focuses on specific exercises and stretching.

Posture Correction

Having good posture is about more than looking good. It helps you to develop strength, flexibility, and balance in your body. These can all lead to less muscle pain and more energy throughout the day. Proper posture also reduces stress on your muscles and ligaments, which can reduce your risk of injury.

Ergonomic Correction

Ergonomics is the scientific discipline of creating a safe and healthy work environment and living space to increase human efficiency and prevent injuries. Proper ergonomics are a key component of creating and maintaining good postural habits.

Mayo Facial Release

Myofascial release is a type of physical therapy often used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness in your myofascial tissues. Myofascial release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness in the trigger points.

Exercise Therapy

Therapeutic exercise involves movement prescribed to correct impairments, restore muscular and skeletal function and/or maintain a state of well-being.
