Treatments

FDN uses a fine filament needle without medication or injection into muscle tissue to alleviate pain and dysfunction.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a system of manually resisted exercises performed in diagonal patterns that mimic functional movements.

Progressive Resistive Exercises (PRE) are exercises that gradually increase in resistance (weights) and in repetitions.

Posture Training is instruction in the correct biomechanical alignment of the body to reduce undue strain on muscles, joints, ligaments, discs, and other soft tissues.

Pelvic traction is the longitudinal/axial pull on the lumbar spine, either manual or mechanical, intermittent or continuous. Pelvic traction may be helpful for the relief of low back pain and muscle spasm.

The patient or therapist moves the body part through a range of motion without the use of the muscles that "actively" move the joint(s).

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is - the application of electrical stimulation to aid in improving strength (e.g., the quadriceps muscle after knee surgery or injury).

Neck traction is a gentle longitudinal/axial pull on the neck, either manual or mechanical, intermittent or continuous for relief of neck pain, to decrease muscle spasm and facilitate

Mobilization consists of hands-on therapeutic procedures intended to increase soft tissue or joint mobility. Mobilization is usually prescribed to increase mobility, delaying progressive

Isotonics is muscle(s) contracting through the ROM with resistance. This is usually prescribed for strengthening.

Isometrics is muscle contraction without joint movement. This is usually prescribed for strengthening without stressing or damaging the joint (e.g., arthritis, or exercises

Evaluation and Assessment of falls, or “near falls” and balance. Tri-City will give you ways to address and manage your apprehension of falling or “near falling.”

The patient lifts or moves a body part through range of motion against gravity. AROM is usually one of the first modalities prescribed for arthritis.

Therapist-assisted active range of motion. This is usually prescribed for gentle stretching or strengthening for a very weak body part.

IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is a form of soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions.

Gait or Walking Training is the analysis of walking problems by visually examining the interaction of the low back and the joints of the thighs, legs, and feet during the various ...
