Physical Therapy (PT)
Advanced Health of Naperville offers two types of PT, active and passive. Active PT consists of exercises and stretches that help lengthen and strengthen the muscles. Passive PT consists of modalities that are used to decrease inflammation/swelling, decrease muscle spasm, increase circulation and even decrease scar tissue.
Our PT Modalities:
(1) Ultrasound Therapy therapy: Soundwave technology that helps decrease inflammation and swelling in any joint of the body.
(2) Electric Muscle Stimulation: Electric currents that help to over stimulate the muscles in order to help them relax which decreases muscle spasm.
(3) Cold Laser Therapy: low level light technology that painlessly helps to reduce swelling, increase circulation and decrease scar tissue. When used with the first two modalities it helps accelerate tissue healing dramatically.
(4) Infrared Light therapy: Another type of light therapy that increases circulation in the affected areas. We use this therapy most often for pain, burning and numbness of the feet and legs.
