What is Physical Medicine?
At BioCure, our primary goal is sustainable and effective results for all services. In no other conditions does this hold true more than in Orthopedic conditions. When most clinics are only focusing on fixing the structural injury (ie. Surgeons, Pain Management, etc) or fixing dysfunctional movement patterns (ie. Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, etc)…we strive to correct both. When you sustain an injury, whether it is traumatic or age-related, there is usually a structural change, as well as a functional change. Our Physical Medicine team is top-notch and works together with our other physicians to help you achieve your physical goals.

Our Physical Medicine program consists of one, or a combination, of the following:
Non-Surgical Decompression Therapy
- Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression is a type of motorized traction that helps relieve back pain. Spinal Decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That stretch changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated discs may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.
- Our Doctors have used Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression to effectively treat:
- Back or neck pain or sciatica, which is pain, weakness, or tingling that extends down the leg
- Bulging or herniated discs or degenerative disc disease
- Worn spinal joints (called posterior facet syndrome)
Chiropractic Adjustments
- A chiropractic adjustment is a very safe, specific, controlled force applied to a joint to restore proper function and mobility. Accidents, falls, stress or overexertion can negatively impact your spine or other joints. These changes impact tissues, the nervous system and other areas of the body. Left unresolved, this can make you more susceptible to chronic problems. Chiropractic adjustments reduce pain, increase movement and improve performance.
Acupuncture Therapy
- Acupuncture has been treating patients on nearly every continent for at least 4000 years (compared to Western medicine’s 100 years) speaks to its efficacy.
- Energy (or “qi” if you like) is constantly moving through the body (blood is a thicker form of this energy), and when it circulates properly, we don’t feel it. We are in harmony, balanced and strong. But when it gets blocked or becomes deficient, it causes pain, dysfunction, depression and disease.
- For example, pain is actually energy and blood that have stagnated. During treatment, when an acupuncture needle is inserted, the brain recognizes “something is happening” and sends blood to the insertion point to investigate, triggering the inflammatory response and hyper-circulating oxygen, minerals, and resources both to the point of insertion and to other areas that may help the body recover.
Physical Rehab
- Our Physical Rehab, unlike traditional Physical Therapy, is an effective treatment for fast pain relief and improved movement and performance. Traditional Physical Therapy is used to help you regain normal movement after an injury. Our Physical Rehab program is specifically constructed to blow past your previous normal levels and help you achieve advanced results. Most of our patients are stronger than they were prior to the injury. Physical Rehab is a safe, affordable, and effective way to manage your pain while providing you with long-lasting health benefits.
- Our philosophy is that physical rehab should address the root cause, as well as the symptoms of your pain, to restore natural movement. We combine patient education with comprehensive manual treatments and specialized exercise instruction to help you reach your wellness goals and achieve a new level of performance.
Game Ready
- The clinically proven Game Ready system combines a powerful control unit with a complete range of innovative, circumferential wraps to integrate active cold and intermittent pneumatic compression therapies with greater adjustability, comfort, and convenience than ever before. The easy-to-use, portable system out-cools the competition, taking RICE (Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation) to the next level for your injury or surgery recovery.
