Sports Medicine
Sports medicine focuses on helping people improve their athletic performance, recover from injury and prevent future injuries.
Montana Spine bridges the gap between science and practice by:
-
Promoting exercise and health
-
Utilizing scientific assessment, studies and understanding sports performance
Individuals who may benefit:
-
Amateur athletes who want better results from their exercise program
-
People who have suffered injuries and are trying to regain full function
-
People with disabilities who are trying to increase mobility and capability
Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
The first goal of our therapeutic exercise plan is to reduce pain and inflammation. Next the goal may shift to regaining range of motion, rebuilding muscle strength, and developing endurance.
Balance Stability Training
Strengthen your core, improve your stability, and better your balance.
Graston Technique
Soft Tissue Treatment
Graston Technique® (GT) therapy is successful in effectively treating all soft tissue conditions, whether they are chronic, acute or post-surgical. GT therapy can help you enjoy life again.
Our unique technique and instruments enable the treatment of scar tissue and fascial restrictions during rehabilitation that allows for faster rehabilitation and with greater success when the goal is restoring range of motion, eliminating pain, and restoring normal function.
Electronic Muscle Stem
Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses.
EMS can:
-
Be utilized as a strength training tool for healthy subjects and athletes
-
Be used as a rehabilitation and preventive tool for partially or totally immobilized patients
-
Utilized as a testing tool for evaluating the neural and/or muscular function in vivo
-
Be used as a post-exercise recovery tool for athletes
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy is the use of sound waves to treat medical problems, especially musculoskeletal problems like inflammation from injuries (sprains, tendinitis, bursitis). It has been a populartherapy for decades, its use so widespread that it almost defines physical therapy.
Kinesio Tape
The Kinesio Taping® Method is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting. Latex-free and wearable for days at a time, Kinesio® Tex Tape is safe for populations ranging from pediatric to geriatric, and successfully treats a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and other medical conditions.
