Vertigo Treatment
Millions of people across the world suffer from vertigo, an extremely uncomfortable symptom of what usually is BPPV or Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. What many people do not know is that physical therapy is the number 1 treatment for BPPV symptoms! What is BPPV? Crystals within the inner ear can migrate from their normal location and become lodged in a more sensitive area resulting in dizziness. These are normally located in the utricle and saccule in the inner ear.
Dry Needling
Physical therapists utilize dry needling to reduce myofascial restrictions and pain secondary to trigger points. Trigger points are “knots” or areas of muscle tissue restrictions that are tender to touch and can cause pain in the surrounding areas. A very thin needle is pushed through the skin into the trigger point to release the tight muscle bands and decrease the associated pain.
Chronic Pain Treatment
Chronic Pain” is defined as pain that continues without relief for longer than six months. This condition is often frustrating and debilitating, and in severe cases can result in job loss and lower quality of life. Many patients have been evaluated and treated by multiple health care professionals, but continue to experience pain.
Neck & Back Pain
Eighty percent of all Americans will suffer from neck or back pain that requires a doctor’s visit. In fact, it is the most common symptom we treat as physical therapists. Common causes include arthritis, degenerative disc disease, sprains and strains, bulging discs, stenosis, and osteoporosis.
How can BIG Rock Physical Therapy Help?
We offer a comprehensive approach incorporating manual therapy, prescriptive therapeutic exercise and modalities. Our programs help improve patient’s physical conditions as well as the symptoms. We also include the patient with movement awareness, knowledge of safe positions, functional strength, and coordination.
Treatments offered include:
- Comprehensive evaluation with emphasis on determining the source of the chronic pain
- Individualized and specific exercise programs
- Manual therapy (hands-on treatment)
- Modalities (including heat, electric stimulation, ultrasound, traction) as needed
- Progressize home program to help restore independence and self management
Dry needling have proven to be effective in the treatment of symptoms in chronic and acute pain patients. Modalities and skilled manual therapy can help to reduce pain and muscle spasms. Gentle stretching and strengthening can also reduce spasm, improve circulation to spinal tissues and increase core strength to provide structural support. Instruction in proper sitting posture and lifting mechanics can alleviate current symptoms and prevent future recurrences.
