As part of our team approach to health care, the Apex Healthcare staff includes a professionally trained physical therapist who can help the patient develop a realistic program of rehabilitation and supervise the regimen under carefully controlled and monitored conditions. Either by itself or in combination with chiropractic adjustment, physical therapy can provide dramatic relief from long term suffering caused by any several types of trauma, arthritis, loss of motion, numbness that radiates down an arm/leg, or a persistent pain in the neck or low back area. Various therapy techniques include ultrasound, interferential muscle stimulation, mechanical traction, PNF stretching and contrast therapy. Nerve conduction, nerve latency and velocity procedures are also valuable tools in both the diagnosis and treatment of various extremity injuries.

In addition, strength training or muscular re-development serves a part of the prescribed treatment to help a patient strengthen an area of weakness. Let our personal relationship and experience with the Personal trainers of Gold's Gym help you remain injury free after your treatment. We are happy to provide referrals to select personal trainers for patients requiring close one-on-one attention and specialized post therapy programs.

In addition to providing relaxation and a release from stress, Therapeutic Massage can help reduce certain kinds of neuromuscular pain, spasms and swelling to muscles, tendons and ligaments. Because of its relaxing effects, soft tissue massage can also be an invaluable part of a patient's overall treatment process by helping to prepare a patient for more intensive treatment. The clinic maintains a staff of nationally certified massage therapists. Skilled massage therapy in a hygienic, clinical environment is just one more demonstration of Apex Healthcare's commitment to providing comprehensive, quality health care in a variety of disciplines.
