How Prolotherapy is Done:
Assessment: Evaluation of ligament/tendon damage and pain patterns
Injection: Precise placement of irritant solution at injury site
Solution: Usually dextrose or other natural irritants
Series: Multiple treatments over several weeks
Recovery: Gradual strengthening as tissue heals
For arthritis or joint inflammation relief in major/minor joints.
Why Intra-articular Injections are Done:
To reduce joint inflammation and pain
To improve joint mobility and function
To provide targeted pain relief
To delay surgical intervention
To improve quality of life in arthritis patients
How Intra-articular Injections are Done:
Assessment: Evaluation of joint condition and pain
Imaging: Ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance
Injection: Precise placement into joint space
Medication: Corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or PRP
Follow-up: Monitoring of pain relief and function
Targets tendonitis, bursitis or other soft tissue pain conditions.
Why Soft Tissue Injections are Done:
To reduce inflammation in tendons and bursae
To relieve pain from overuse injuries
To improve range of motion and function
To accelerate healing of soft tissue injuries
To provide targeted treatment for specific conditions
How Soft Tissue Injections are Done:
Assessment: Evaluation of soft tissue condition and pain
Imaging: Ultrasound guidance for precise placement
Injection: Direct placement into affected tissue
Medication: Corticosteroids, local anesthetics, or PRP
Recovery: Rest and gradual return to activity
Relieves muscle knots that cause referred pain.
Why Trigger Point Release is Done:
To relieve muscle knots and tension
To reduce referred pain patterns
To improve muscle flexibility and range of motion
To break the pain-spasm-pain cycle
To enhance overall muscle function
How Trigger Point Release is Done:
Assessment: Identification of trigger points and pain patterns
Technique: Direct pressure or injection into trigger point
Injection: Local anesthetic or saline solution
Stretching: Post-injection stretching exercises
Follow-up: Monitoring of pain relief and function
Used for offloading diabetic foot ulcers and pressure management.
Why Total Contact Casting is Done:
To offload pressure from diabetic foot ulcers
To promote wound healing and tissue regeneration
To prevent further tissue damage
To reduce pain and inflammation
To improve mobility while protecting the wound
How Total Contact Casting is Done:
Assessment: Evaluation of wound and foot condition
Preparation: Wound cleaning and dressing application
Casting: Application of custom-fit plaster cast
Monitoring: Regular assessment of wound progress
Replacement: Cast changes as needed for healing
A platelet-rich fibrin injection that helps in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
Why PRF Therapy is Done:
To accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration
To promote natural healing processes
To reduce inflammation and pain
To improve tissue quality and strength
To enhance recovery from injuries
How PRF Therapy is Done:
Blood Draw: Collection of patient's blood sample
Processing: Centrifugation to separate fibrin-rich plasma
Preparation: Concentration of growth factors and fibrin
Application: Injection or topical application to wound

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about neuro rehabilitation and pain management
We specialize in stroke recovery, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and post-surgery rehabilitation. Our comprehensive approach addresses physical, cognitive, and functional recovery needs.
Early rehabilitation should begin within 24-48 hours after stroke, once medically stable. Early intervention maximizes recovery potential and helps prevent complications like muscle contractures and joint stiffness.
Neuro rehabilitation is specialized for brain and nervous system conditions, focusing on neuroplasticity, cognitive recovery, and functional retraining. Physical therapy is broader, while neuro rehab addresses specific neurological deficits and recovery patterns.
We use a combination of Botox injections, physical therapy, stretching exercises, and sometimes oral medications. Treatment plans are personalized based on severity and affected muscle groups to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment of your medical history, current symptoms, physical examination, and functional evaluation. We'll discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Duration varies significantly based on condition severity, age, and individual progress. Stroke rehab may take 3-6 months, while spinal cord injury can require 6-12 months or longer. We provide ongoing assessment and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
Yes, we provide comprehensive home exercise programs and family training. We'll teach you proper techniques, provide written instructions, and schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust your home program as needed.
We use advanced equipment including robotic therapy devices, virtual reality systems, electrical stimulation, ultrasound-guided procedures, and traditional therapy equipment. Our facility is equipped with the latest technology for optimal rehabilitation outcomes.
We provide cognitive rehabilitation including memory training, attention exercises, problem-solving skills, and compensatory strategies. Our team includes specialists who work on improving thinking, memory, and communication skills.
We offer family education sessions, caregiver training, emotional support, and guidance on home modifications. We also provide resources and connect families with support groups to help them cope with the challenges of rehabilitation.
We use standardized assessments, functional tests, and regular evaluations to track progress. This includes strength measurements, balance tests, walking assessments, and quality-of-life questionnaires to ensure comprehensive progress monitoring.
We provide a maintenance program and schedule follow-up visits to monitor long-term progress. We also offer community reintegration support and can help with vocational rehabilitation if needed to ensure continued independence and quality of life.
