5 benefits of our integrated therapy programs
1. You’ll gain access to pain-relieving modalities such as massage therapy.
Any time you sustain an injury to your back, your body will form adhesions — bands of tough scar tissue — around the injury.
These adhesions can restrict your movement, cause serious inflammation and pain, and may delay your recovery if left untreated.
The good news is, your massage therapist’s techniques can deal with those adhesions very efficiently. A licensed massage therapist can use specific techniques that target and break up the adhesions. This will in turn, loosen and unbind your muscles.
Massage may be a critical part of your therapy program because being adhesion-free is important for relieving pain and restoring a proper range of motion.
2. You’ll gain the benefits of acupuncture.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective method of treatment that can be performed by a licensed acupuncturist. This type of treatment works to reduce pain and muscle tension, while simultaneously improving mobility.
Acupuncture has been proven to treat numerous musculoskeletal issues, including acute and chronic injuries, overuse injuries, neck pain, headaches, back pain, sciatica, muscle spasms, muscle strains, tendinitis, knee pain, hip pain, fibromyalgia, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and more!
3. You’ll avoid harmful side effects.
Physiotherapy and massage therapy techniques require less downtime, can be changed, and are safe for use on people of all ages.
As opposed to solutions like medications and invasive procedures, physiotherapy services have a very low risk of side effects while remaining highly effective for reducing soreness, inflammation, pain, and swelling.
Physiotherapy and massage are also helpful with recovery in regards to injury, illness, and disease. Why opt for negative side effects of over-the-counter medications and opioid prescriptions when something much safer is available to you?
4. Integrating physiotherapy with chiropractic care.
While our physiotherapists focus on reducing your pain and increasing your mobility so you may maintain an active lifestyle, chiropractic care can restore spinal alignment and uninterrupted nerve flow to the rest of your body, enhancing your overall health.
Many find they recover faster and sustain wellness longer when integrating chiropractic care with other specialties like physiotherapy.
At Raynen Therapies, you have the option of integrating chiropractic care with your existing physiotherapy plan, based on your condition and individual needs. A chiropractor is extensively trained in adjusting the spine and extremity joints with manipulation and mobilization techniques.
5. Receiving an individualized treatment plan, just for you.
Choosing the right treatment route means your plan of care and recovery will be completely customized to fit your needs.
The main objectives of any physiotherapy care plan is to address a patient’s physical goals, pinpoint and treat the pain source, optimize the patient’s ability to function independently, and set him or her up for long-term success.
These outcomes can be achieved through the following kinds of physiotherapy techniques:
- Manual therapy, such as joint mobilizations and massage therapy
- Therapeutic exercises
- Dry-needling, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, diathermy, orthotics and prosthetics, and kinesio taping
- Neuromuscular re-education, for example, balance training
- Acupuncture and chiropractic care
Your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough checkup and look at your medical history. Then you’ll receive an individualized treatment plan, and the healing can begin! Your plan is adapted to address your specific needs and ideal lifestyle.
The success of the plan relies on your feedback throughout the treatment process, which gives you more control in your recovery.
