Elite Sport & Spine Physical Therapy

Elite Sport & Spine Physical Therapy is dedicated to achieving the best possible rehabilitation for every physical therapy patient. We are truly committed to providing a great physical therapy experience for every one of our patients.

This year we are excited to offer two new treatment options to our array of physical therapy services. Our therapists have been trained in Dry Needling and Laser Therapy and have seen significant results and reduction of pain with their application.

When an injury is sustained, our soft tissues go through a healing process that starts with inflammation/swelling and ends with reconstruction of the injured tissue. It is during this healing process, where Inflammation, contracture of tissues, and scar formation become the causes of chronic soft tissue dysfunction, trigger points, and persistent pain. Injured tissues eventually become weakened and deformed due to a lack of nutrition, resulting in increased pain, disuse, and altered movement.

Dry needling is a process by which fine gauge solid filament needles are inserted into the dysfunctional areas and trigger points to create tiny lesions in the underlying soft tissue to release trigger points. These lesions stimulate the body’s natural response of healing to create an anti-inflammatory reaction. Because the needles are of an extremely fine gauge, the procedure has minimal to no pain associated with it. Integrative Dry Needling is a modern western medical intervention that is not based on traditional philosophical Chinese medical acupuncture. Dry needling is based on a thorough understanding of human anatomy and physiology combined with scientific research.

Laser therapy is used to treat acute injuries and chronic pain. This treatment is an effective alternative to invasive surgical procedures and provides drug-free pain relief. We frequently recommend laser therapy for: sprains and strains, sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, musculoskeletal pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic back and neck pain, arthritis pain, and many other types of pain and inflammation.

Laser therapy works by transmitting light six to eight inches below the skin’s surface deep into injured tissue. Damaged cells use this burst of light energy to produce “ATP,” a cellular fuel that reduces inflammation and supports injury repair. Numerous scientific studies document the effectiveness and our patients are living proof that this treatment does help. Patients heal faster after soft tissue injuries and enjoy enhanced pain relief from chronic conditions.

When you come to our office for therapy our therapists utilize a hands-on approach to guide you through a program that is customized for your particular condition. Whether you have a minor sprain from your favorite sport, a serious work injury, an accident related injury, or physical problems caused by age, disease, or other natural conditions; our therapists are here to help restore you to the best possible condition.
