Specialized Services
Our Specialized Services
We offer a wide range of services so that we can treat you, not just your injury. No matter what kind of pain you experience or the diagnosis you receive, our experts will personalize your treatment to help you live life to the fullest.
If, for example, you’re a runner and sustain a running-related injury, we have clinicians who specialize in treating endurance athletes. The same is true of soccer, women’s health, gymnastics, cheerleading, performing arts and more. Your passion may very well be our clinician’s passion, and they’ll know how to take care of you and get you back to doing what you love.

Lymphedema Therapy
Lymphedema therapy can help improve your quality of life by reducing physical discomfort and swelling, addressing scar tissue problems, and restoring range of motion.

-
Myofascial Decompression (Cupping)
Myofascial Decompression, also known as Cupping or Cup Therapy, is the therapeutic application of cups to help treat musculoskeletal problems. The plastic, rubber, or glass cups produce suction, which creates negative pressure underneath the cup. The negative pressure helps to decompress the area by lifting the skin and the layer of tissue underneath the skin, known as fascia, up into the cup. This temporary increase in space allows the underlying tissues to relax, which reduces pain and improves function.
