AN IMPORTANT PART OF THERAPY

Before beginning the therapy program, patients get an easy-to-understand explanation of the evaluation and therapy process and how their program helps with injury or pain. 

 

 

Each patient’s program is based on three key elements: our evaluation; the doctor’s/therapist’s recommendations; and the patient’s needs/goals. As the patient progresses, his day-to-day treatment protocol is continually adjusted, as is the at-home therapy program.

 

Pain Relieving Modalities

The center uses a variety of the latest pain relief techniques such as manual mobilization, electrical stimulation, ultra sound, traction and iontophoresis.

Exercise Machines

Strengthening equipment and popular cardiovascular devices help the team match patient needs and abilities with recovery goals. The center incorporates equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, stairsteppers, upper and lower body bicycles and devices for balance and proprioceptive training.

Therapy Should Be Fun

The center provides educational charts, fitness and nutrition magazines, television and relaxing music to enhance the rehabilitation experience.

“Using the best tools is essential” says Carmine. “But the interpersonal component, positive reinforcement and constant encouragement, is equally important. We want our patients to enjoy their rehabilitation experience and get well at the same time. Patients are like our extended family. Many even become friends and keep in touch.”

    5-STAR Care!! In my 60 some years of injuries and rehabbing from them (at least 12 different facilities) Carmine and his Team are the BEST. No, he doesn't pay for his customer's to write positive reviews. This team makes you feel welcome, comfortable and confident they are doing the best for each individual coming in the door, each time. I usually dread going to PT, but they make it fun, friendly and informative each visit. I appreciate the great communication, feedback, and attention to what I am telling them each visit. It makes me feel confident I am receiving the top notch service I want to heal and strengthen my injury, so I can get back to doing what I enjoy. You will not be disappointed by coming here for rehabilitation.

    This is my second round with Carmine, albeit 20+ years apart. Carmine and his staff are the best. They treat you like family and get the job done. Very clear and concise explanations and demonstrations. They monitor you and your progress and easily pick up on things to help you or when something has suddenly caused a little discomfort. They adapt your rehab to you specific needs. Can’t say enough great things about them! Hope I never need them again, but comforting to know if I do, I’ll be in the best of care!

  • I have had several injuries and physical therapist in the past. Beyond a doubt, Carmine and his staff are the best. Carmine is the right combination of a therapist, analyst, coach, motivator, and friend. They make it a point to constantly monitor your progress and modify your program to maximize your recovery. As a surgeon, I’m glad to have Carmine in the community for both my patients and myself.

    I have been seeing Dr. Carmine for about a month for my back pain. When I say I haven’t felt this great since before my accident that is not an understatement. He has worked wonders so far in under a month. I highly recommend coming here if your having any sort of pain. I can’t lie to you, the work you put in outside of the office is crucial. You have to be consistent to see progress. Overall 10/10 experience

    Carmine and his awesome staffed have quite literally brought me back to life! They took the time to figure out what was right for me and proceeded accordingly — pushing when they needed to and letting me progress on my own pace (which I wanted to be fast all the time!). If you’re and athlete looking to be pushed so that you can bounce back ASAP - this is your place. Although, the care is tailored for every person I see come in …. It’s a super friendly and encouraging environment. I’m so thankful they came so highly recommended!
