High Tech Treatment Options
Advanced technology is recommended for accelerating healing and reducing recovery times. Your PT will discuss best treatment options based on evaluation and expertise. Some of our available technologies include:
Lightforce Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). During PBM, photons enter the tissue, stimulating mitochondria and triggering a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, which can decrease pain and accelerate the healing process.
Miracle Wave Therapy
Radial pressure therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and acoustic wave therapy (AWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to transmit high peak pressure waves to promote and accelerate healing for subacute and chronic conditions by kickstarting the angiogenesis process.
This can help to:
This can help to:
- Address fibrotic tissue and trigger points
- Activate stem cells and growth factors
- Improve range of motion
- Increase blood flow and microcirculation
Neubie
Electrical stimulation therapy is a popular treatment for injured muscles and can be used to reduce pain. However, the wrong form can reinforce movement patterns that hinder recovery and prolong chronic pain. NEUBIE replaces the traditional alternating current with a unique, pulsed, direct current waveform, promoting effective coordination between opposing muscles which can accelerate recovery by 50-75% for most surgeries or injuries. NEUBIE is a FDA Class 2 medical device approved for:
- Maintaining or increasing mobility
- Increasing local blood circulation
- Enhancement of muscle recruitment and activation
- Preventing atrophy and reducing spasms
- Pain management
INDIBA
INDIBA systems generate an electromagnetic wave that increases ionic exchange at the cellular level which encourages tissue repair and assists in pain management. With sub-thermal and thermal effects, the significantly increased deep blood flow and volume delivers nutrients and oxygen needed to stimulate repair in tissues that are stuck in a non-healing state. This allows clinicians to treat all phases of an injury, whether acute or chronic. Some examples of conditions include, but are not limited to:
- Tendinopathy
- Osteoarthritis
- Post-surgery
- Sprain or strain
- Pain management
- Muscle tension / trigger points
BEMER - Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency (PEMF)
The BEMER uses PEMF technologies to produce electromagnetic fields with various waveforms and frequencies. These signals improve the performance of healthy muscles and increases microcirculation. Increasing microcirculation helps dispose of metabolic products and increases the supply of nutrients to your tissues. PEMF therapy directly stimulates electrical activity within muscle tissues, charging up your myocytes to function at their highest level and recover more quickly.
Pelvic Wave
The Pelvic Wave chair uses an FDA-cleared bio-electric magnet to send a 'pulse wave' up to the pelvic floor. When activated, this pulse signals the brain, which in turn, contracts 100% of the pelvic floor muscles. Over time, the therapy inhibits myostatin, increases blood flow, reduces pain, builds bulk muscle and restores natural function. This can help reduce incontinence, pain, hemorrhoids and other inflammatory conditions.
Using Technology to Overcome Pain
We are proud to be able to offer these advanced technologies at FYZICAL Glendale because we believe they can help accelerate your healing and get you back to doing what you love. Please talk to your PT if you think one of these modalities might be right for you.
