Treatment and Modalities

At Family Rehab Care, we employ a wide range of techniques to provide the best physical therapy for our patients.

Lumbar and cervical traction

Lumbar and cervical traction are two therapeutic techniques used to treat various spinal conditions and alleviate symptoms related to neck or lower back issues. They involve the application of controlled forces to the spine in order to stretch and decompress the vertebral structures. These treatments are typically administered by trained healthcare professionals and can be delivered using different devices and methods

Acupuncture/Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy shockwaves to treat a variety of musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions. These shockwaves are acoustic waves that carry energy and can be focused or radial, depending on the specific treatment needs. Here are some key points about shockwave therapy

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy, including infrared laser therapy, is a medical treatment that uses focused light of specific wavelengths to stimulate biological processes in the body. Infrared laser therapy specifically utilizes infrared light, which has longer wavelengths than visible light and is not visible to the human eye. Here are some key points about laser therapies

  • Red light
  • Blue light
  • Infrared

ELECTRICAL ACUPUNCURE AND DRY NEEDLING.

The Use of a fine probe (no needles) that provides brief, continuous electrical impulses to stimulate muscle fibers. This is used to treat:

  • Headaches
  • Sciatica
  • Radicular Pain in the Upper and Lower Extremities from Spinal Nerve Compression

Aquatic/hydrotherapy

Aquatic therapy, also known as hydrotherapy, is a therapeutic approach that involves exercises and rehabilitation activities performed in a pool or other aquatic environments. This form of therapy takes advantage of the buoyancy, resistance, and soothing properties of water to help individuals recover from injuries, improve physical function, and manage various medical conditions

Skilled Manual Physical Therapy Techniques.

Skill techniques performed by our uniquely trained physical therapist include:

  • Soft Tissue Mobilization
  • Instrument Assisted Traditional Medicine
  • MFR (myofascial release techniques) full body
  • Dry Cupping Techniques
  • Lumbar and Cervical Traction
  • Joint Mobilization Techniques
  • Massage, and Much More…

Kinesiology Therapeutic Tape.

Our therapist are certified in kinesiology therapeutic taping. This specialty is used for many professional athletes to reduce muscle pain and increased mobility.

KT taping has many other benefits such as:

  • Relieving Pain
  • Reducing Swelling and Inflammation
  • Quicker Recovery of Overused Muscles
  • Enhance Strength and Muscle Tone in Weak Muscles

Therapeutic Ultrasound.

Technique used to provide deep heating to soft tissue structures in the body such as muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. Deep heating helps the body and its healing process by:

  • Increasing the “stretchiness” of tight muscles or tendons
  • Enables the body to prepare for any exercises your physical therapist might prescribe and hope you improve your body’s range of motion

Electrical Stimulation.

A type of therapeutic therapy used to:

  • Decrease Pain
  • Reduce Inflammation
  • Improve Circulation
  • Assist Muscle Contraction

Moist Heat Therapy.

Relief provided by hot modalities such as:

  • Hot Baths
  • Steamed Towels
  • Moise Heating Pads

Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation refers to the use of electrical currents to activate nerves or muscles in the body. This technique has various applications in medicine, research, and therapy. Here are some common uses and types of electrical stimulation

Dry cupping

Dry cupping is a therapeutic technique that involves the use of cups, typically made of glass, silicone, or plastic, to create a partial vacuum on the skin’s surface. This vacuum suction is achieved by heating the air inside the cup and then placing it on the skin, or by using a mechanical pump to remove the air from the cup. Once the cup is attached to the skin, it creates a seal and draws the skin and underlying tissue into the cup.

Hijama

Hijama, also known as cupping therapy, is a traditional medical practice that has been used for centuries in various cultures, including Chinese, Arabic, and Islamic traditions. The word “hijama” is an Arabic term that means “sucking” or “drawing out.”

In hijama therapy, small cups or jars are placed on the skin, and a vacuum is created inside them by heating the air or using a suction pump. This vacuum causes the skin to be drawn into the cup, which can create a localized suction effect. The cups are typically left in place for a few minutes and then removed. As a result, the therapy can leave circular marks or bruises on the skin

Blood flow restriction training

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, also known as occlusion training or KAATSU training (named after the Japanese company that popularized it), is a fitness and rehabilitation technique that involves restricting the flow of blood to certain muscles while exercising. It typically involves the use of specialized cuffs or bands placed around the limbs, such as the upper arms or thighs, to temporarily reduce blood flow to the working muscles

Tecar therapy

Tecar therapy, also known as capacitive-resistive electric transfer therapy, is a medical and physiotherapy technique that uses electromagnetic energy to treat various musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions. It’s a relatively modern approach to rehabilitation and pain management

Active trigger point release

Active trigger point release is a manual technique used in physical therapy and massage therapy to relieve muscle tension and alleviate pain associated with trigger points. Trigger points are tight knots of muscle fibers that can cause localized pain, referred pain, and restricted range of motion. Active trigger point release aims to deactivate these trigger points through a combination of patient participation and therapist guidance

Myofascial release

Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It focuses on the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs in the body. Fascia can become tight or restricted due to injury, overuse, or stress, leading to pain, discomfort, and limited mobility. Myofascial release aims to release tension and restore flexibility in the fascia to alleviate these symptoms.

Soft tissue mobilization

Soft tissue mobilization is a manual therapy technique used by physical therapists, massage therapists, and other healthcare professionals to address musculoskeletal issues and promote healing and pain relief. It involves the manipulation of soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, using various hands-on techniques.

Trigger point therapy

Trigger point therapy is a therapeutic approach used to treat muscle knots or areas of tightness within muscles, known as trigger points. These trigger points are often associated with myofascial pain syndrome, a condition characterized by localized muscle pain and discomfort. Trigger point therapy aims to release these knots and alleviate pain and muscle tension.

Percussion massage

Percussion massage, also known as percussion therapy or percussive massage, is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of a handheld device to deliver rapid, repetitive, and percussive strokes to the muscles and soft tissues of the body. This therapy is often used to promote relaxation, relieve muscle tension, and improve blood circulation.

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) is a therapeutic technique used in healthcare to improve blood circulation and manage various medical conditions. It typically involves the application of sequential compression and decompression to a specific part of the body using specialized devices. Combining IPC with heat and cold therapy can enhance its therapeutic benefits, depending on the specific clinical goals and patient needs.
