Our Speech-language pathologists work to assess speech, language, cognitive- communication, and oral/feeding swallowing skills. This lets them identify a problem and the best way to treat it.
DRY NEEDLING PROGRAMDry needling is a treatment performed by our skilled, trained physical therapists, certified in the procedure.
A thin needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of pain and movement impairments. Dry needling treats muscle tissue, and its goal is to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function. It rarely is a standalone procedure. Rather, it often is part of a broader physical therapy approach incorporating other traditional physical therapy interventions into your treatment. Dry needling can help: • Shoulder pain • Headaches • Knee pain • Tendinitis • Hip pain • and more |

VERTIGO PROGRAM
What is Vertigo?
The sensation of moving, tilting, or spinning surroundings or the feeling that you are in motion or falling despite being still. Vertigo is a symptom, not a specific medical disease. It is associated with many medical problems and medications. Vertigo must be distinguished from other symptoms such as lightheadedness and simple dizziness. Vertigo is chiefly recognized by the misapprehension of movement and body imbalance.
