How We Treat your injury Treatment begins with evaluation of your injury. This may include looking at your range of motion, muscle strength, sensation, and various orthopedic tests. We may send you for an x-ray or MRI if the physical examination suggests it is appropriate. Once we know what is wrong, treatment will include acupuncture or electroacupuncture, manual therapy including facilitated stretching, trigger point release, cross fiber massage, and/or craniosacral therapy. We will help you to develop a safe stretching and strengthening program to do while you heal, or refer you to a physical therapist if more extensive rehabilitation is needed to get you back on your feet. Your progress will be monitored, and we will refer you back to your doctor or to an orthopedic surgeon if you are not progressing as expected.back to top
