Introduction: Regain Movement and Quality of Life
What is Physical Rehabilitation
Who Can Benefit from Physical Rehabilitation
Many people can benefit from a structured rehabilitation program. Common reasons patients seek our care include:
- Injuries from automobile accidents requiring targeted therapy to restore function
- Sports and workplace injuries that limit performance and mobility
- Chronic conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, or recurring back pain
- Postural strain from prolonged sitting or heavy physical labor
- Loss of flexibility, balance, or coordination with age
- Weakness or stiffness following surgery or extended rest
If you want to recover safely and effectively while reducing the risk of future injuries, physical rehabilitation can help.
Benefits of Physical Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation supports both short term recovery and long term health. Some of the benefits include:
- Relieves pain and stiffness
- Improves strength, balance, and flexibility
- Restores normal function for daily activities
- Enhances athletic performance and recovery
- Supports spinal alignment and posture
- Reduces the risk of future injuries
- Improves overall quality of life
Our patients often report not only physical improvements but also a renewed sense of confidence as they regain independence in movement.
Rehabilitation Techniques We Offer
We use advanced equipment and proven techniques to create individualized treatment plans. Some of the specialized therapies available at our office include:
Inversion Table Therapy
This therapy relieves spinal pressure by gently decompressing the spine and increasing space between the vertebrae. Patients with herniated discs, sciatica, or chronic back pain often benefit from this treatment.
Calf Stretching Platform
Performed with straight knees on an angled platform, this therapy targets the lower leg muscles. It helps improve circulation, reduce stiffness, and support balance and mobility.
Upper Body Ergometer (UBE) Machine
The UBE machine strengthens the arms, shoulders, and upper back while improving endurance and range of motion. It is particularly useful for patients recovering from upper body injuries.
The Backsystem 3
This innovative flexion device improves lumbo pelvic biomechanics and provides passive stretching to relieve lower back tension. It is highly effective for patients with chronic lower back discomfort.
Each of these techniques is selected based on your specific condition and recovery goals to ensure the most effective outcomes.
What to Expect During Rehabilitation
When you come in for rehabilitation, Dr. Joel J. Angyal will begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your condition and goals. Based on this assessment, a customized treatment plan is created that may include a combination of stretching, strengthening, and therapeutic equipment.
Sessions are guided and monitored to ensure safety and progress. Most patients find the treatments not only effective but also comfortable and empowering, as they regain control of their movement.
