Specialized Services Offered
Joint Injections
We provide joint injections to relieve knee pain and aches in other affected parts, treat limited movement, and alleviate inflammation. They particularly work well in arthritis, injury and overusing of joints. The plan is to achieve functional restoration and assist in daily activities by addressing the source of joint discomfort.
Trigger Point Injections
Back pain with trigger point injections is a treatment that helps with painful muscle knots that limit the range of motion. Trigger point injections for back pain reduce the tension in certain parts of the muscle so that one becomes more flexible and experiences diminished pain. This is best suited for patients with persistent backache or stiffness resulting from tension.
Botox for Salivary Glands
We offer Botox for drooling adults and children, which can help reduce excessive salivation as a solution to excessive saliva production. The pediatric Botox for salivary glands is highly beneficial, as it helps children with neurological disorders overcome hygiene and comfort issues caused by drooling.
Spasticity Management
In our Spasticity Management Clinic, we provide tone management treatment to enhance the control of muscle tone, posture and functional mobility. Regardless of the problem, high muscle tone or muscle tightness, our interventions are targeted to the age and condition of each patient.
Targeted Botulinum Toxin Injections
To provide Botulinus toxin injections for spasticity, we apply ultrasound or electrical guidance. This accuracy enables the release of contracted muscles without any form of injury and difficulty in body movement, and pain among children and adults.
Motor Phenol Nerve Blocks
Phenol injections for muscle spasms are applied where the botulinum toxin is inadequate. The effect of these nerve blocks is temporary relief, reducing the nerve transmission to muscles and temporarily relieving intense spasticity providing mobility.
Baclofen Pump Management
We have healthcare providers with expertise in pump management of patient on intrathecal baclofen. By means of this sophisticated approach, we provide adjustments, monitoring, and assessments in order to guarantee safe and successful Baclofen pump management of severe spasticity.
Prosthetics & Orthotics Recommendations
We offer advice on braces to get motion and orthotics for spasticity. We evaluate personal needs and prescribe the most appropriate equipment in the area of walking and posture and independence daily.
Ultrasound-Guided Piriformis Injections
In case of sciatic pain with muscle tightness, we provide ultrasound-guided piriformis injections. Such an exact treatment alleviates pain and improves the functionality of the lower limb, increasing comfort and daily functioning.
Gait Evaluation
We provide a thorough gait analysis to diagnose walking problems in adults and children. In accordance with the results, we prescribe treatment, braces, or other measures that need to facilitate better balance and mobility.
Developmental Delay Assessment
We perform an extensive developmental delay assessment for infants and children. Such assessments determine the root causes of delays and may lead to an early intervention using the appropriate therapy programs.
