Treatment Techniques
Before implementing a treatment plan, a full patient history is taken and a biomechanical evaluation is administered. Treatment depends on the nature of the injury and/or dysfunction, but generally consists of much manual therapy (SEE HANDS ON APPROACH) therapeutic exercise (strength/flexibility), modalities (electric stimulation, ultrasound, iontophoresis, etc), custom orthotic casting, video analysis and much patient education (home exercise program, postural education, pain mgt, injury prevention, etc). Treatment plans range tremendously depending on the injury, for instance it may take multiple visits and weeks of care for a post-operative shoulder or simply one visit for orthotics casting. Our average patient treatment plan is between 6-10 visits.
