Patient Therapy at MSHC
Our patients experience over a 90% success rate of permanent relief from the pain and resulting problems in movement & tissue performance.
Immediate treatment to an acute injury will generally speed up recovery by 50%.
We permanently resolve the underlying source of the pain & resulting tissue malfunction, not just the external symptoms. Our primary goal is to resolve an injury as soon as possible. The more compliant and motivated a patient is to get well, the less time they will spend under our care. Our patients do not receive a cookie-cutter approach to care. During each visit, our patients are evaluated and treated according to their stage of recovery and individual treatment goals.
Approximately 10-15% of our patient's conditions are resolved in less than 3 visits.
These patients usually receive treatment within 48 hours of the initial onset of pain or symptoms. A normal treatment course is 8-12 visits (2-3 times per week), each lasting 30-50 minutes. Each visit may include but is not limited to the following therapies (depending on the stage of recovery or type of injury):
ACTIVE CARE
(Manual, Manipulative & Soft-Tissue Therapies)
Active Release Techniques ®
ART® is a Patented & Medically Proven Therapy used world-wide that corrects muscular & soft-tissue problems caused by adhesion formation as a result of acute injury, repetitive trauma, or constant pressure and tension.
ART® finds the tissue that is injured and physically works it back to its normal texture, tension and length using over 500 treatment protocols for injuries.
Biomechanical Evaluation
- Analyze specific motion related activities causing patient pain, discomfort or restriction.
- Locate & identify any muscular or skeletal dysfunctions.
- Resolve the motion related dysfunctions using appropriate soft-tissue therapies.

Cervical & Lumbar Decompression Therapy
- The FDA approved & medically proven Triton DTS System combines the latest technology of traction, decompression and movement to help alleviate pain & heal injured tissues for both the cervical and lumbar regions of the spine.
- It allows a patient's lumbar region to be treated in the either the prone (face down) or supine (face up) position to reduce patient discomfort.
- It effectively treats: Bulging/Herniated/Prolapsed/Protruding Discs, Chronic Pain, Degenerative Disc Disease, Facet Syndrome, Post-Surgical Relapse, Radicular Pain, Sciatica & Spinal Stenosis as well as other conditions.
E.P.A.T Shock Wave Therapy
- Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment (EPAT) is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method approved by the FDA.
- This non-invasive office procedure represents a breakthrough treatment option for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.
Functional Movement System (F.M.S.) &
Selective Functional Movement Assessment (S.F.M.A.)
- The Functional Movement System (F.M.S.) philosophy & Selective Functional Movement Assessment (S.F.M.A.) represent the wave of the future in terms of Physical Medicine.
- It is the first true Injury Risk Management System that provides patients and medical professionals alike a comprehensive system for communication, testing, assessment, planning and monitoring.
- The goal is to bring the patient back to full functionality in order for them to maintain an active lifestyle, decrease their injury risk and eliminate secondary injuries arising from dysfunction.
- This breakthrough thinking regarding basic human movement patterns and how our bodies negatively adapt to pain/injury is currently on the forefront of the following athletic organizations: NFL, PGA, NBA, NCAA, & MLB.
- The U.S. Departments of the Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force & Marines) are also successfully utilizing it to protect their soldiers during training and combat situations.

Graston Technique
The Graston Technique incorporates a patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively detect and treat scar tissue and fascial restrictions that affect normal function.
McKenzie Method ®
-The McKenzie Method ® is a unique, comprehensive and logical step-by-step process to assess and treat common neck and back problems.
- McKenzie treatment involves a series of individualized exercises, which place the emphasis on active patient involvement.
- By learning how to self-treat, patients gain first-hand knowledge on how to reduce the risk of reoccurrence.
- Follow-up treatment visits can be greatly reduced with effective self-treatment and personal maintenance care.

Joint Manipulation/Mobilization
-Once the surrounding soft-tissue is returned to its normal state, then the joint may be gently manipulated back into alignment.
- This helps restore lost range of motion and removes restrictions within the joint.
- Excessive joint manipulation can lead to a hyper-mobile & weakened kinetic structure, therefore will only be performed when medically indicated.

PASSIVE CARE
(Physiotherapeutic Modalities)
Cold Laser Therapy
The Microlight ML 830 Laser is a non-thermal (cold) laser capable of delivering non-destructive penetrating light deep into the soft-tissue.
- This light energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation, which expedites cell repair and stimulates the immune, lymphatic and vascular systems.
- The net result is an apparent reduction in pain, inflammation, edema and overall healing time.
Electrical Muscle Stem (EMS)
- EMS machines use electrical impulses to rhythmically contract & relax the injured muscles, which helps alleviate pain and increase blood flow to aid the healing process.
Footmaxx Orthotics
- Footmaxx is the only system in the world that allows digital gait & pressure analysis data to translate into a diagnostic report as well as prescription orthotic.
- Orthotics may be recommended for patients with a hyper-mobile foot (Pronation & Supination) in order to stabilize the kinetic chain and prevent further joint dysfunction.
Hot/Cold Therapy
- Using heat prior to receiving therapeutic treatment softens the tissue and enhances its ability to regain normal range of motion.
- Using ice after treatment reduces swelling, controls inflammation, manages pain and increases circulation; all of which facilitate the healing process.
UltraSound (US)
- Ultrasound equipment generates high frequency sound waves that travel deep into the injured tissues.
- By generating a deep heat, US increases blood flow, reduces pain and inflammation and accelerates healing.
