Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment, which is also known as MDT or the McKenzie Method, is an evidence-based assessment process that can be used to treat all musculoskeletal conditions. This treatment approach is unique in the fact that it focuses on one movement at a time to assess how it affects the patient’s symptoms. Using one movement at a time and having patients perform multiple repetitions of one simple movement allows the therapist to understand the patient’s pain and diagnose correctly. Once the correct diagnosis is determined, I provide patients with tools and knowledge needed to effectively treat themselves at home.  This focus on patient empowerment and self–treatment helps the patient get better in fewer visits.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a treatment approach that utilizes specific frequencies in combination with the electric current already in place in our bodies. Specifically, FSM treats the root cause by finding the tissue that is injured in the patient’s body, targeting it, and increasing energy production by as much as five times, which enables the body to heal faster.

Functional Dry Needling is a treatment that uses fine filament needles to bring pain relief to patients who are living with myofascial pain. It works by inserting needles into painful trigger points in order to change the how the muscle functions, with the goal of “resetting” your nervous system so the tissue can return to the normal resting state. Dry needling can provide benefit to a wide array of conditions including: spinal pain, headaches, joint pain, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, strains, and tendonitis.
