The Comprehensive Approach to Rehabilitation at Recover Physical Therapy
As the owner of Recover Physical Therapy in Slidell, Louisiana, it is my privilege to share the extensive range of services we offer and the philosophy behind our comprehensive approach to rehabilitation. Our clinic is dedicated to providing top-notch care for a variety of conditions, employing state-of-the-art techniques and personalized treatment plans to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Conditions Treated
Recover Physical Therapy specializes in treating a wide array of conditions. These include post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, joint replacements, and rotator cuff tears. We also handle arthroscopic surgeries, addressing both pre and post-surgical needs to optimize recovery. Our expertise extends to managing low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, wrist and hand pain, elbow pain, knee pain, and foot and ankle pain.
In addition, we are proficient in treating TMJ dysfunction, migraines, tension headaches, whiplash, and injuries resulting from motor vehicle collisions. Work-related injuries also fall within our purview, ensuring that individuals can return to their jobs safely and efficiently.
Dry Needling
One of the specialized treatments we offer is dry needling. This technique is particularly effective for musculoskeletal conditions, including tension headaches, neck and back pain, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis. Dry needling involves the use of fine needles to target trigger points in the muscles, similar to acupuncture. Our specially designed protocols allow us to address these conditions effectively, reducing pain and enhancing recovery.
Balance Training
Balance training is another critical aspect of our services, especially for patients who experience frequent falls or have a fear of falling. This training focuses on improving stability, coordination, and strength, thereby reducing the risk of falls and enhancing overall safety. By incorporating balance exercises into our treatment plans, we help patients regain confidence in their movements and improve their quality of life.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM is a gentle yet effective technique we use to reduce scar tissue formation, decrease pain, and improve range of motion. This method involves the use of specialized instruments to mobilize soft tissues, breaking down adhesions and promoting healing. IASTM is particularly beneficial for patients with chronic pain conditions, allowing them to experience significant relief and improved functionality.
Spinal Manipulation
For patients who might otherwise seek chiropractic care, we offer spinal manipulation services. This treatment is essential for managing headaches, neck pain, mid-back pain, and low back pain. Spinal manipulation involves the application of controlled force to specific joints in the spine, aiming to restore alignment and mobility. This technique is highly effective in relieving pain and improving spinal function.
Work Screenings
Work screenings are an important service we provide, tailored to job-specific requirements. These screenings help determine if potential hires have pre-existing limitations that might hinder their ability to perform required duties. By conducting thorough evaluations, we assist employers in making informed hiring decisions and ensure that employees are physically capable of meeting job demands.
The McKenzie Method
The McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT) is an internationally acclaimed approach for assessing and treating spinal and extremity pain. Developed by New Zealand Physiotherapist Robin McKenzie, this method has been widely used around the world for over 30 years. The McKenzie Method® emphasizes self-treatment and patient empowerment, enabling individuals to manage their symptoms effectively and prevent recurrence.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy, or manipulative therapy, is a cornerstone of our treatment approach. This physical treatment involves the hands-on manipulation of muscles and joints to alleviate musculoskeletal pain and disability. Techniques used in manual therapy include kneading, joint mobilization, and joint manipulation. By directly addressing the source of pain and dysfunction, manual therapy facilitates quicker recovery and improves overall function.
Innovative and Patient-Centered Care
At Recover Physical Therapy, our commitment to innovative and patient-centered care is unwavering. We believe that each patient is unique, and therefore, requires a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and conditions. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of a patient’s rehabilitation is addressed, from initial assessment to final recovery.
