Are you experiencing dizziness that feels:
⭐️as if the room is spinning
⭐️as if your head spins when you roll over, look up or bend over?
⭐️brief
⭐️like it causes visual disturbances (nystagmus)

You MAY be experiencing benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and this is caused by displaced "crystals" (otoliths) that have moved in one of the semicircular canals of the inner ear. PT can help by performing a canal repositioning maneuver after doing a thorough evaluation to confirm the BPPV diagnosis.

Or are you experiencing:
⭐️an off balanced feeling
⭐️increase in symptoms in a busy / fast paced environment
⭐️unsteadiness

You MAY be experiencing vestibular hypofunction and this is caused by a weakened balance system following an infection, prolonged dizziness (ie BPPV) or inner ear damage. PT can help!

Schedule today if you are experiencing symptoms of dizziness with changes in position or an off balanced feeling to get a thorough vestibular evaluation.

Our patients ask daily "does shockwave therapy hurt?"

The answer is: shockwave therapy can feel intense, but it shouldn't be unbearable.

Depending on the condition and treatment area, patients may feel tapping, pulsing, pressure, or a deep, intense sensation during treatment.

At Release PT, we use both focal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and radial pressure wave therapy, with treatment parameters adjusted to the individual patient and condition.

We can adjust the intensity as needed.

Shockwave therapy is commonly used as part of physical therapy treatment for conditions including tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, chronic muscle and tendon pain, pelvic pain, and many more musculoskeletal conditions.

Save this post, and schedule an appointment Release Physical Therapy today to get started with shockwave treatment

If you're dealing with hip osteoarthritis, you may think injections or surgery are your only options, but there's growing evidence that shockwave therapy (ESWT) may help reduce pain, improve mobility, and get you back to doing what you love when combined with physical therapy.

The latest research also suggests that focused shockwave therapy may be especially beneficial for deeper hip structures. At Release PT we offer both focused shockwave and radial shockwave therapy.
