Here are some treatments performed at Shiva Physical Therapy
Indiba Active
INDIBA® is the market leader in radio frequency treatments, for reducing pain and accelerating the natural recovery of the body with scientifically proven results .
Alpha Stim
The Alpha-Stim® M is a handheld, prescription electrotherapy device that delivers advanced Microcurrent Electrical Therapy (MET) to your pain site through an exclusive, patented waveform.
Stimpod NMS460
Stimpod NMS460 provides a non-invasive, non-drug solution with no side effects and rapid onset of action at a fraction of the cost of comparable treatments.
Class IV Laser
Class IV Laser is a High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT) offers patients a painless, non-surgical and side effect free treatment for conditions previously refractive to traditional medical care.
Radial Shock Wave
Radial Pressure Wave / Shockwaves (Soft shock) also known as Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) Radial pressure wave is the common type of shockwave therapy, used in most MSK clinics.
Focused Shock Wave
Focused shockwaves can penetrate deeper into the tissues and provides all of its power at the designated depth. Focused shockwaves are generated electromagnetically through a cylindrical coil creating opposing magnetic fields when current is applied.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a form of therapy in which fine needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points (painful knots in muscles), tendons, ligaments, or near nerves in order to stimulate a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions.
AISTM
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a skilled myofascial intervention that includes the use of specialized tools to manipulate the skin, myofascia, muscles, and tendons.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy
CranioSacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive form of cranial osteopathy, developed by John Upledger in the 1970s for the purpose of evaluating and enhancing the craniosacral system, the environment in which the brain and spinal cord function.
Fascial Manipulation
Fascial manipulation is a technique that utilizes deep friction massage of the connective tissue surrounding your muscles, organs, bones, vessels, and nerves to restore proper movement.
Spinal Manipulation
Spinal manipulation, also called spinal manipulative therapy or manual therapy, is a high-velocity low amplitude thrust technique designed to relieve pressure on joints, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve function. It is often used to treat back, neck, shoulder, and headache pain.
Impulse IQ
The Impulse IQ is a revolutionary way to perform thrust treatment to the dysfunctional area. The hand-held device delivers a precise pressure to the joint in order to restore range of motion and maximize motion.
Myofacial Decompression
People have received myofascial decompression using cupping for thousands of years to ease back pain, neck pain, headaches and other problems.
Taping
Taping is commonly used as an adjunct or temporary technique. At Shiva Physical Therapy we often make use of taping as a protective mechanism in the presence of an existing injury.
Muscle Energy Technique
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a technique that was developed in 1948 by Fred Mitchell, Sr, D.O. It is a form of manual therapy, widely used in Osteopathy, that uses a muscle’s own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle.
Orthopedic Manual Therapy
The Orthopedic Manual Therapy (OMT) is a specialization in physiotherapy for the treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal pathologies. It is based on clinical reasoning, which uses highly specific treatment approaches, including manual techniques and therapeutic exercises.
