Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy or Cold Therapy - used to cause vasoconstriction (the blood vessels constrict or decrease their diameter) to reduce the amount of fluid that leaks out of the capillaries into the tissue spaces (swelling) in response to injury of tissue. Ice or cold is used most frequently in acute injuries, but also an effective pain reliever for even the most chronic pain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Ultrasound - ultrasound uses a high frequency sound wave emitted from the sound head when electricity is passed through a quartz crystal. The sound waves cause the vibration of water molecules deep within tissue causing a heating effect. When the sound waves are pulsed, they cause a vibration of the tissue rather than heating. The stream of sound waves helps with nutrition exchange at the cellular level and healing. Studies have shown that ultrasound is helpful for ligament healing and clinically, for carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscle spasm.

Ultrasound
The cornerstones of physical therapy treatment are therapeutic exercise and functional training. In addition to "hands-on" care, physical therapists also educate patients to take care of themselves and perform certain exercises independently. Depending on the particular needs, physical therapists may also "mobilize" a joint (that is, perform certain types of movements at the end of your range of motion) or massage a muscle to promote proper movement and function. Physical therapists also use methods such as ultrasound (which uses high-frequency waves to produce heat), hot packs, and ice.
Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis - medications are propelled through the skin by an electrical charge. This modality works on the physical concept that like charges repel each other, therefore, a positively charged medication will be repelled through the skin to the underlying tissues by the positively charged pad of an iontophoresis machine. Iontophoresis is usually prescribed for injuries such as shoulder or elbow bursitis.

Physical Therapy
A recent change to the laws in New York State now allow you to begin physical therapy without a referral from your physician. Patients with Preferred Care can now start physical therapy without a referral from a physician. Other insurance carriers in the area differ regarding whether you need a referral from your doctor in order to reimburse a therapist for your treatment. Call us and we can help you determine if your insurance coverage will permit you to begin physical therapy without a referral from a physician.

Manual Therapy
Our physical therapy treatment approach is to offer one on one hands on care to our patients. This may involve gentle mysofascial work, gentle joint mobilization, range of motion, massage, muscle energy work and numerous other techniques to improve conditions. Therapeutic exercise, gait training, balance and coordination work are also therapeutic tools at our practice as well as numerous other kinds of treatments. Ultrasound and other modalities are incorporated when indicated by a patient's condition. The rapport between therapists and support staff in our office is second to none. Our commitment to patient care is our highest priority.
