When it comes to lower extremity injuries, we focus on a holistic approach that combines various techniques to promote healing and recovery.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Before starting any treatment, our experts will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of your injury, identify contributing factors, and develop a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs. This comprehensive approach ensures that we address the root causes of your condition.
Targeted Rehabilitation
Our physical therapy sessions incorporate a wide range of exercises and techniques to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and stability. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and evidence-based practices to help you regain function and prevent further injury.
Manual Therapy
In addition to exercises, our therapists may use manual techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, and myofascial release to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve joint and muscle function. This hands-on approach can expedite your healing process.
Custom Orthotics
If necessary, our skilled professionals can provide custom orthotics to support your feet and correct any imbalances or abnormalities in your lower extremities. These orthotics are designed specifically for your unique needs, ensuring optimal comfort and function.
Pain Management
Managing pain is crucial during the rehabilitation process. Our team will employ various modalities, such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat/cold therapy, to help relieve pain and promote tissue healing. We also educate you on home strategies to manage discomfort effectively.
