• Hypnosis (Medical Hypnotherapy): Boost your recovery journey and improve functional outcomes through medical hypnotherapy, a complementary therapy that targets the mind-body connection to reduce pain and enhance mobility.
• Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT): To improve overall well-being and potentially prevent future injuries, consider EFT, a technique that helps manage emotional responses that can negatively impact your body.
• Somatic Nerve Block: As a preventive measure against worsening nerve pain, a somatic nerve block can provide temporary relief and help your physical therapist develop a customized treatment plan.
