 Physical Therapy

Petracco Chiropractic Center offers a multidisciplinary team approach to chiropractic care including our chiropractic physicians, and physical therapists. Our board-certified chiropractic physicians and physical therapists work as a team to ensure a complete healthcare experience.

Our therapists use a hands-on approach in conjunction with specific modalities as needed. The most commonly used therapeutic procedures/modalities are:

• Manual (hands-on) Therapy: Consists of myofascial release techniques, stretching of restricted structures and specific strengthening of weak muscles, soft tissue and joint mobilization/manipulation, muscle energy and Mulligan techniques.

• Pain Management: use of moist heat, cryotherapy, ultrasound, phonophoresis, Iontophoresis, massage and Manipulation under Anesthesia performed at out-patient surgical centers.

• Therapeutic Exercises: Customized for each condition including strengthening, stabilizing, and stretching restricted structures to restore normal pain-free range of motion. The exercises improve movement and proper muscle balance. 

• Postural Corrections: This addresses behavior modification, postural exercise and self-awareness. We concentrate on correcting musculoskeletal derangements.

• Home Management Program: A short and detailed home exercise program corresponding to the appropriate stage of condition, including the do's and don'ts of self-management.
