The Ultimate Wellness Duo:
Physical Therapy & Chiropractic Care

What makes them such a great couple?

Chiropractic focuses on the 'hardware'—ensuring your spine is aligned and your nervous system is firing correctly.

Physical Therapy focuses on the 'software'—strengthening the muscles that support those adjustments and improving your functional movement.

When you combine the two, you aren't just fixing a symptom; you're building a stronger, more resilient foundation. It’s a match made in healing!

Ready to see how this duo can transform your recovery? Give us a call today!

Developing with age, osteoarthritis is a problem many people experience. Though it is common among adults 45 and older, it is not a regular part of aging! Osteoarthritis is just one of 100 types of arthritis. Stiffness, mobility loss, and pain seem to chip away at independence.

Even if you're not looking to run marathons. Maybe you just want to get back to gardening, walking, or playing with grandkids without wincing. StemWave provides a non-invasive way to address that. By increasing circulation, reducing chronic inflammation, and stimulating cellular repair, many arthritis patients report easier movement and less daily pain, which can be life-changing.

StemWave therapy treats chronic pain, arthritis, tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, and sports-related injuries. It penetrates deeper than surface-level treatments, stimulating blood flow, stem cells, and tissue repair.

Improvement is usually noticed within 3-6 sessions, making it an effective non-invasive alternative to injections or surgery.

If you're an athlete—pro, high school, or weekend warrior—we already know you don’t want rest as your prescription. You want to stay in the game!

StemWave has been embraced in sports medicine because it shortens downtime and keeps tissue healthy under repeated stress. Think jumper's knee in a basketball player, rotator cuff overload in a baseball pitcher, or chronic hamstring issues in a runner. Instead of cycling through rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories, we can actively intervene and stimulate repair while you keep training.

In fact, research in The Journal of Orthopaedic Research showed that focused wave therapy enhanced injury recovery and accelerated return-to-play timelines in athletes compared to conservative rehab alone. Call us today for more information.

😩 Why is this rehab taking so long?! There are many factors other than exercise and manual therapy that can affect your injury recovery process! 🏋️Here are few of the top ones I see in the clinic:

1. Poor Sleep
2. Poor Nutrition
3. Poor Hydration
4. Poor Stress Management

Though they both include inserting thin needles in specific areas of the body, Acupuncture (what Dr. Marino offers) is focused on the flow of energy throughout the body and is most often used to treat internal issues like digestive problems, insomnia, and stress. Dry Needling (what Lester PT offers) is focused on the release of trigger points within muscles to treat cases of chronic and acute pain.

Last week we discussed what to do after dry needling for optimal benefits so this week we will look at what we DON'T want to do after a session:

- Overexert yourself.

Although doing simple stretching exercises is recommended after dry needling, it is also key not to overexert your muscles. Avoid strenuous activities that can be taxing on the muscles. A rule of thumb is to wait for at least 24 hours before resuming your heavy workouts, otherwise, something light is fine.

- Sit still too much.

While strenuous exercises are not advisable, sitting still too much is also not a good idea as it can cause your muscles to stiffen up, increasing soreness in return. Getting ample rest is necessary but you can also continue your daily activities to prevent stiffness.

- Apply a cold or hot compress for soreness.

Cold eases pain, but, for post-dry needling, try using a hot compress instead. Heat brings more blood to the area and can help reduce spasms in tight muscles for less discomfort after a dry needling session.
