Professional New Physical Therapy Techniques at JOI Rehab
At our twelve locations, we practice and use some of the newest physical therapy techniques to help you get better. For example at our San Marco, Beaches and South locations, our physical therapy / occupational therapy department use a medical laser to help reduce pain and inflammation. You must be asking how does it work? Medical Laser Therapy works by flooding the tissue with photons, which energize cells within the injured tissue, to begin the healing process. This therapy allows your body to utilize its own restorative powers by inducing a series of healing responses in your body. As you feel the soothing warmth of our medical laser, you will begin an 18-24 hour process of modulated cellular activity leading to decreased pain and inflammation. The cost to use the medical laser is $20.00 per body part (usually not covered by insurance) but the first visit is free. If you want to learn more about the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute Physical Therapy Program, call 904-858-7045. JOI Rehab just purchased two brand new Class IV lasers!
