Prevea therapy offers trigger point dry needling to help rapidly decrease pain and increase the mobility of your muscles. Trigger point dry needling is a minimally invasive technique that uses sterile, thin, filament needles to de-activate muscular trigger points. Sometimes, it may be combined with electrical stimulation to help with comfort and overall results.

We offer the most advanced treatments available, to help patients regain balance and improve swallowing and communication.

Edema means swelling caused by fluid in your body’s tissues. It usually occurs in the feet, ankles and legs, but it can involve your entire body. This swelling may be caused by disease (such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease and thyroid disorders), a birth defect, surgery, cancer treatment or other problems.

Lymphedema is swelling caused by a build-up of lymph fluid in the body. The lymph system (lymphatic vessels) filters and drains excess fluid in your body. If the lymph system is damaged, the fluid builds up and causes swelling. Lymphedema is recognized as a complication following cancer treatment; however, it can develop from edema that is not managed. In rare instances, a person is born with a challenged lymphatic system.

Treatment options from Prevea’s expert team of therapists include:

  • Chronic venous problems or post blood clot
  • Congenital (primary) lymphedema
  • Cording or auxiliary web syndrome (development of tissue that feels web-like and restricts movement)
  • Decreased ability to perform activities of daily living
  • Decreased range of motion
  • Edema caused by congestive heart failure
  • Nerve irritation
  • Neurological conditions
  • Orthopedic swelling
  • Pain
  • Post-cancer treatment
  • Repeated cellulitis
  • Scar adhesions/soft tissue restrictions in treated areas
  • Swelling associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • Trauma
