Chronic Pain Management
Living with chronic pain can significantly impact your quality of life. At The Wellness Arena, we offer comprehensive pain management strategies that target the underlying causes of your pain.
Our approach includes manual therapy, dry needling, therapeutic exercises, and patient education to help you manage pain effectively and improve your daily function.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a powerful tool in our physical therapy arsenal. It involves the insertion of thin needles into trigger points within muscles to relieve pain, improve function and decrease physiological stress.
This technique can be particularly effective for treating chronic pain, acute injuries, muscle tightness, and feeling of being stuck in “fight or flight”. Learn more about our dry needling services.
Mobility Improvement
Mobility issues can result from a variety of reasons, including previous injuries, too much or too little exercise, and aging.
Our mobility improvement programs focus on enhancing your range of motion, flexibility, and functional movement patterns.
We use targeted exercises, breathwork, and functional movement activities to help you move more freely and confidently.
Relaxation Techniques
Incorporating breathwork and relaxation techniques into your physical therapy can significantly enhance your overall well-being.
These practices help reduce stress, improve breathing patterns, and support your body’s healing processes.
We integrate these techniques into your treatment plan to promote relaxation and enhance your physical therapy outcomes.
