Treatments Offered
At The Rehabilitation Center @ Beeston Hill, we offer a wide array
of services, from physical therapy to wellness programs as well as
preventative medicine. In order for you to understand what treatments
you may receive
and the purpose each serves, the following descriptions have been provided.
Services Available
 Aquatic therapy: rehabilitation exercise performed in water
to provide a non-weight bearing environment. Used for general conditioning,
to increase range of motion and to strengthen muscles while eliminating
gravitational pressure on joints.- Electrical Stimulation: interferential and premodulated for
pain relief; Russian and Twin-Peak High Volt for atrophy, relaxing
muscle
spasm, increasing local circulation and re-educating muscles.
- Extremity Manipulation: manual (by hand) manipulation of
the joints of the arms and legs to increase joint mobility, reduce
adhesions,
improve function and decrease pain.
- Ice/Heat: decreases inflammation/increases the temperature
of tissue making it more pliable to better allow exercise to remodel
the area safely and effectively. Increased heat brings nutrients & oxygen
to the area aiding the healing process.
- Myofascial Release: muscle therapy designed to eliminate
trigger points (local areas of pain found within muscles).
- Oxygen Saturation Monitoring: monitoring blood oxygen levels
during cardiovascular exercise.
- Physical Therapy Evaluation performed by a licensed physical
therapist to analyze structural imbalances via a detailed examination
to better
determine your ideal course of therapy.
- Spinal Decompression: using the revolutionary DRX-9000 to
decompress spinal discs to relieve nerve pressure in the lower back.

additional information.
- Spinal Manipulative Therapy: manual manipulation of the
joints of the spine to increase joint mobility, reduce adhesions,
improves
function and decreases pain.
- Therapeutic Massage: muscle therapy to increase blood
flow while decreasing muscle spasm and pain.
- Therapeutic Exercise: cardiovascular- improves circulation
and strengthens the entire cardiovascular system. Also
aids to increase
joint mobility; flexibility- increases range of motion
and decrease muscle adhesions; progressive resistance-
increases
and balances
muscle strength and stabilize joints.
- Traction (manual/mechanical): the application of a longitudinal
force to the axis of the spinal column. In other words, parts of
the spinal column are “pulled” in opposite directions
in order to stabilize or change the position of damaged aspects of
the spine.
- Ultrasound: muscle therapy to improve local circulation
and decrease muscle spasm and pain.
Wellness & Preventive Services
-
 Bone
Density Scans (DEXA-Scan): the most accurate method
of bone density measurement for the detection of osteopenia (low
bone density) and
osteoporosis (bone loss). Find out more...
- Surface Electromyography (S-EMG): diagnostic procedure
to detect muscular imbalance.
-
Lipid Profile: blood cholesterol measurement to help determine cardiovascular
risk, defining HDL & LDL levels, triglycerides, and total cholesterol.
- Posture Education: instruction aimed at improving core
strength to improve posture and thus relieving musculoskeletal stress.
-
Medical Fitness Evaluation: This unique evaluation analyzes numerous
aspects of a person’s health and fitness and culminates in
the design of an exercise regime that addresses all weaknesses
and imbalances.
