Let’s all cheer for one of Mobile’s best female athletes Janie Ford! She was breaking state records in track at St. Paul’s and is now setting records at Vanderbilt! Let’s hope to see her in the Olympics! She’s the real deal!

From Janie

“While under Dr. Bishop’s care for ongoing back pain, I received incredibly personalized treatment backed by his deep knowledge and understanding of my condition. Throughout three different sports seasons during my senior year, he consistently adjusted my care based on how I was feeling, what my body needed, and any issues that came up along the way. He always took the time to explain what was happening and why, which made a huge difference in my recovery and performance. I truly believe his thoughtful and detail-oriented approach played a major role in my success on the volleyball court, on the track, and in my transition into college athletics”

Thank you Valerie for sharing this awesome testimonial on a Facebook feed! It is so well written.

“I absolutely love Bishop Physical Therapy! I have been to 3 different PT groups, but Bishop is unique. In addition to their extensive PT skills, each member seems to have their own specialty. From isolating the focal point of your injury and teaching strengthening PT exercises, to pinpointing the pain and treating it with their unique modalities. From Dry needling to deep tissue massage to cupping to red light therapy to the high-tech advanced therapy of Softwave tissue regeneration, they will patiently work with you to not only relieve pain and increase range of motion but also bring you to your best level of recovery to function more effectively. I will add that each therapist is not only professional and well-trained, but they are also kind, considerate, polite, and truly have one goal in mind. They want to help you be the best you can be through their personalized care.
Oh, and...their office staff is wonderful! Kind, professional, and efficient! I am so grateful my doctor referred me to Bishop Physical Therapy!”

“I came to Dr. Bishop after a season that involved injuries and later resulted in an off-season surgery. I can confidently say going into this next season after working with Dr. Bishop that my health is back to a high standard. He works with extreme attention to detail and diligence to make all his athletes better. I would highly recommend him to any aspiring athlete that wants to play at a high level.”

Check out how this orthopedic surgeon in Atlanta uses shockwave to save this knee from amputation. He is able to regenerate the damaged tissue. We have seen success like this with many similar cases. It’s so awesome to have more tools for beating chronic pain!!

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

What can it help with?
🔹Plantar Fasciitis
🔹Achilles Tendonitis
🔹Tennis/Golfers Elbow
🔹Shoulder Calcification
🔹Hip Bursitis
🔹Chronic Muscle or Joint Pain

How does it work in your body?

✅Stimulates Blood Flow- shockwaves increase circulation in the injured area. More blood means more oxygen, nutrients, and healing cells to the tissue.

✅Breaks Up Scar Tissue and Calcium Build-up- if there's tight scar tissue or calcium in a tendon or joint, the shockwaves break it down, making the tissue more flexible and allowing better movement.

✅Triggers Cell Repair- The sound waves create tiny mechanical stresses in your tissue-- just enough to "wake up" the cells and tell them to start repairing and rebuilding. This helps regenerate tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

✅Reduces Pain Signals- Shockwaves can desensitize nerve endings, which reduces the pain you feel. Over time, as your tissues heal, your pain naturally goes down.

✅Boosts Stem Cell Activity- Some studies show that shockwaves activate stem cells in your body- these are your natural repair cells that help build new, healthy tissue.

What you might feel

🔸tapping or pulsing; it's usually well tolerated
🔸some soreness for 1 to 2 days is normal- it means your body is starting to heal

DRY NEEDLING & ACUPUNCTURE

What can it help with?

🔹Muscle Pain and Tightness
🔹Limited Range of Motion
🔹Sports Injuries
🔹Sciatica
🔹Headaches

How does it work in your body?

✅ Release Tight Muscles- when you have a painful "knot" or tight band in your muscle, it's often stuck in a contracted state. The needle causes a tiny twitch or release in that muscle, which relaxes the tight area, improves movement, and reduces pain.

✅Improve Blood Flow- the needles cause tiny micro-injuries that increase circulation to the area- like turning on a sprinkler in a dry garden. More oxygen and nutrients come in, and waste products and inflammation get cleared out.

✅Calm the Nervous System- needling sends signals to your brain and spinal cord that help turn down pain. It helps reset overactive nerves and ells the body "this area is safe, you can stop hurting". It also triggers the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine.

✅Stimulate Tissue Repair- the micro-injury from the needle activates your body's natural healing response by waking up fibroblasts (cells that rebuild tissue), increasing stem cell activity, and promoting collagen repair in tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

✅Balance the Body- in acupuncture, needles are placed along energy channels (called meridians) to restore balance in the body. Modern science has found these points often align with nerve bundles, fascial planes, and lymphatic and blood vessel networks. By stimulating these points, needling can reduce inflammation, improve digestion, sleep, and mood.

What You Might Feel

🔸a quick pinch or dull ache as the needle goes in
🔸a "twitch" or heavy sensation in the muscle (a good sign)
🔸relaxation or tingling during or after the session
🔸slight soreness for 24-48 hours as your tissue heals

HIGH INTENSITY LIGHT THERAPY

What can it help with?

🔹 Muscle and Joint Pain
🔹Back and Neck Injuries
🔹Arthritis
🔹Tendonitis and Bursitis
🔹Nerve Pain
🔹Wounds, Scars, or Skin Injuries

How does it work in your body?

✅ Feeds Energy to Your Cells- Your body's cells- especially in injured or painful areas- need energy to heal. The light from HILT gets absorbed by tiny parts of your cells called mitochondria, helping them make more energy(ATP). MORE ENERGY=FASTER HEALING

✅Improves Blood Flow- HILT helps open up small blood vessels and improves circulation. That means more oxygen and nutrients get delivered to injured tissues, and waste and inflammation get cleared out faster.

✅Reduces Inflammation- When tissue is damaged, it becomes inflamed and swollen. HILT helps your body calm that inflammation down so you can move more comfortably and your tissue can heal properly.

✅Stimulates Repair and Regeneration- The light signals your body to build new, healthy tissue- whether it's muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve, or skin. It also activates stem cells, which are your body's natural repair tools.

✅Relieves Pain Naturally- HILT reduces pain by calming overactive nerves, releasing natural pain killers like endorphins, and reducing inflammation and swelling.
