Common Treatment Options

Positional Release Therapy (PRT)

PRT is simply the opposite of stretching. The manual therapy works much like unkinking a knotted necklace or rope by pushing together tissues to take tension off "neurological chain links." The therapy is pain-free and is suited for all ages to help resolve pain and tissue dysfunction.

Mulligan Mobilization

Mulligan Mobilization is a unique manual therapy treatment approach combining mobilization with active movement or function. Fundamentally a patient’s pain, restriction or functional loss is eliminated when appropriate mobilization forces are applied during movement.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.

Strain Counterstrain or PRT?

I have had terrible headaches for years along with arm pain and numbness. Using my hands and arms would set my head off and it severely limited my activity level. I couldn’t even wear my motorcycle helmet without crippling head and neck pain. I had MRIs and even steroid injections that did not help anything. After my first visit with Elevated they “put my head back on straight” and got my rib and lower back into place. After three visits I feel like a new person and NO headaches! I can paint/remodel, exercise/yard-work and play with my grandson and dog with no rebound headaches due to activity level. Thank you!

This is such an incredible technique. AND IT WORKS!!!!!!
I have had so much improvement in my neck, increased range of motion and mobility. Thanks so much.

After years of unsuccessful physical therapy, I finally found a therapist who could offer substantial, long-lasting relief. I have cervical stenosis and arthritis, which make traveling especially difficult, and the pain was keeping me awake at night. With just a few visits, I was mostly pain-free on my last trip and without pain medications.

Elevated Performance and Rehabilitation has made such an amazing difference in my recuperation after breaking my neck in a horseback riding accident. My neck healed but I recently started getting severe headaches and dizziness along with muscle spasms in my neck and body. After just a month I am feeling more mobility in my neck and whole body. I even have so much more energy. I am getting my life back. I highly recommend PRT with Elevated.

Amazing! I went in feeling broken, I left feeling renewed. I haven’t had full range of motion in my neck for over a year. I’m now able to turn my head without pain. I have no pain in my hips which has been chronic for almost 3 years. The staff were all so kind and helpful. I WILL be going back.
