How we treat
Your first visit starts with an evaluation of how you move, then a plan built around your goals. These are the treatments we choose from at our Hot Springs, Arkansas clinic.
Hands-on care
Therapists use their hands to move stiff joints, loosen tight tissue and calm irritated nerves.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on joint mobilization and soft tissue work to ease stiffness and pain, paired with exercise.
Myofascial Release
Slow, sustained hands-on pressure to ease tight muscles and fascia.
Dry Needling
Thin, solid needles placed in tight muscle knots to reduce muscle tension and pain.
Kinesiology Taping
Strips of tape placed on the skin to support a sore joint or muscle and help with swelling while you move.
Neuromuscular Re-Education
Exercises and hands-on work that retrain how your nerves and muscles move together after an injury or surgery.
Laser, shockwave and devices
Devices that support the hands-on work, including the deep tissue laser and shockwave therapy we are known for.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
A Class IV laser that sends light energy into deeper tissue and may help reduce pain and inflammation.
Shockwave Therapy
Focused sound waves aimed at long-lasting tendon and soft tissue pain.
Electrical Stimulation Therapy
Mild electrical current through pads on the skin for pain relief and muscle activation.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Sound waves that gently warm deep tissue to ease pain and stiffness around an injury.
