P.I.C THERAPy
P.i.C therapy (Precise. Immediate. Cure) is a variation of acupuncture, using electrical stimulated needles and precision-controlled manual pressure therapy.
P.i.C focuses treatment directly at the musculo-skeletal site of pain, resulting in immediate therapeutic relief as quickly as the first treatment.
Injuries to the body are a result of one or both causes:
Trauma
Overuse
Many patients who experience an overuse injury do not usually feel intense pain until later on (sometimes as much as a couple of years later). This delayed pain onset is a result of the muscle changing its structure and function over time and is why so many struggle to identify the exact moment or event when the pain started.
There are 8 regions of the body that P.i.C therapy can help in treating, upon diagnosis of each patients condition:
Head Pain
Face/Jaw pain
Neck/ Shoulder pain
Shoulder blade and middle back
Middle and Lower Back
Low back pain
Knee
Ankle/Foot
Precise
-
Manual Precision: Manual precision and accuracy identify exactly where the pain is located.
-
Technique Precision: As P.i.C practitioners, applying the correct amount of electrical and manual simulation is essential to properly manage your pain.
-
Practice Precision: Precision of needle depth is critical into the muscle pain generator to stimulate the muscle for healing.
-
Pattern precision: Identifying common patterns among patients that we treat enables us to recognize disease and treat it more efficiently.
-
Frequency Precision: Scheduling treatment within an appropriate time between sessions is crucial to the healing process. Too much or too little time in between sessions can affect/delay the total outcome of your healing.
Immediate
-
Patients have presented with pain that has been ongoing/chronic for 10+ years, some even as long as 20-years.
-
Clinical observations have revealed that patients feel 80% better after an average of 3-5 sessions.
-
Twenty percent of patients feel 50% improvement after the first session.
-
Note: these findings are an average percentage based off of clinical observations. Healing times and degree of improvement will vary due to individual to patient conditions.
Cure
-
The fundamental theory of P.i.C is to cure musculoskeletal inflammation as a result of trauma/overuse.
-
Every treatment is geared towards resolving the issue and not temporarily masking the pain.
-
Patients rarely return with the same chief complaint after their treatment session has ended (unless they are in because of a re-injury, new injury or a "tune up").
