Physical Therapy Relieves Pain, Improves Circulation and Enhances Joint and Muscle Function

Treatment includes multiple techniques to relieve pain, increase circulation and healing rate, improve the function of joints and muscles and increase overall body health. Cold application, moist heat, and ultrasound may be used along with neurological re-education techniques if needed. Therapeutic exercise and stretching instruction are also recommended and are an essential part of a P.T. program.

"In 2005 I suffered a serious leg injury leaving me with one leg slightly shorter than the other. Because of this, other issues developed over time effecting my body alignment, [causing] weight bearing issues, and increasing pain.

Walking through the doors of Miracle of Health, over 10 years ago, truly was a miracle. Gail has brought me into better body alignment, increased flexibility and less pain. Like regular exercise, Gail Shafer and Miracle of Health are an integral part of taking care of myself as I age."
