Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs—because no two patients, and no two injuries, are exactly alike.

Orthopedic Physical Therapy provides comprehensive pain management for clients in New Hampshire, using various different therapeutic techniques. These techniques include:

Graston Technique

The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy that uses specialized instruments to detect and treat scar tissue and adhesions in the muscles and tendons. This technique helps to break down these adhesions, improving range of motion and reducing pain. Our therapists are trained in the Graston Technique and can effectively address various musculoskeletal conditions.

 Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic method involving the application of elastic tape to support and stabilize muscles and joints without restricting movement. This technique can reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance performance. Our therapists use Kinesio Taping to provide targeted support and promote healing for a variety of injuries.

Spine Rehabilitation

Our spine rehabilitation programs are designed to address pain and dysfunction in the neck and back. We utilize a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and advanced modalities to improve spinal alignment, strengthen supporting muscles, and reduce pain. Our goal is to help you achieve a pain-free, functional spine.

Soft Tissue Mobilization

Soft tissue mobilization involves manual manipulation of the muscles, tendons, and fascia to reduce pain, improve flexibility, and promote healing. This technique can effectively treat various conditions, including muscle strains, tendonitis, and scar tissue. Our therapists use soft tissue mobilization to enhance your recovery and restore normal function.

Joint Mobilization

Joint mobilization is a manual therapy technique that involves the passive movement of specific joints to increase range of motion, reduce pain, and improve joint function. This technique is beneficial for treating joint stiffness, arthritis, and other joint-related conditions. Our therapists are skilled in joint mobilization and can help you regain optimal joint mobility.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting healing and reducing pain. This technique increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and enhances tissue repair. Our therapists use ultrasound therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to address various musculoskeletal conditions.

 Iontophoresis Treatment

Iontophoresis is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrical currents to deliver medication directly into the affected tissues. This technique can effectively reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling. Our therapists use iontophoresis to provide targeted pain relief and enhance the healing process.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

TENS therapy involves the use of low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate nerves and reduce pain. This technique can effectively manage acute and chronic pain by blocking pain signals and promoting the release of endorphins. Our therapists use TENS therapy to provide safe and effective pain relief.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, improving muscle strength, reducing pain, and promoting healing. This technique is beneficial for muscle re-education, preventing muscle atrophy, and enhancing recovery. Our therapists incorporate EMS into treatment plans to support your rehabilitation goals.
