STAYING OPEN TO SERVE OUR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES

We know that the need for physical and occupational therapy does not stop during times of global crisis, and we realize how important it is for you to continue your plan of care amidst all of the changes taking place around us.

There have been many recent local and state-wide mandates of “stay at home” with only “essential” businesses being permitted to remain open. We are pleased to share with you that The Department of Homeland Security has declared physical therapy and occupational therapy as “essential” healthcare services and as such, our clinics continue to be open during normal business hours to provide you the care you need to live a pain-free and fully-functioning life.

As always, we follow stringent, CDC-recommended procedures and utilize appropriate products for cleaning our surfaces, linens, and hands before and after each patient treatment. We have instituted detailed action plans should our clinics be affected by the COVID-19 virus.

We commit to providing the same level of quality care that you have come to expect from us. We are here for you. We are here for the community.

What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling (DN) is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain. It can promote healing after injury and improves a patient’s ability to move with less pain. DN is a therapeutic treatment that involves inserting a very thin filament needle into a “trigger point” or muscle spasm that refers pain to a specific area of the body.

It is a common misconception that dry needling is like acupuncture. Although the tool we use is similar in that it is a very thin needle, our evaluation process, treatment and goals of the technique are very different from acupuncture. Our therapists will evaluate your neuromuscular system (nerves and muscles) and treat specific muscle tissue with the overall goal of improving movement. Our physical therapists will fully evaluate the function of your neuromuscular system to determine what tissues are contributing to your painful limitations and apply the dry needling techniques to improve healing, decrease pain and increase your ability to perform activities without limitations.

*Dry Needling Services are not available at all locations. Call the location near you for specific center’s services.

Let’s get to know the SERC of Lakewood’s staff. First up is Dr. Tray Rush, DPT.

Tray is our clinic director at SERC of Lakewood. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri’s physical therapy program. He is married to his wife Shona who is also a physical therapist. He enjoys rock climbing, playing soccer and spending time outdoors. His clinical interests are in orthopedic rehabilitation, concussion management, vestibular rehabilitation, and he is certified in trigger point dry needling. Tray states, “I see a challenging case as a puzzle that is waiting to be solved. I enjoy being able to address a dizziness or a pain that someone has experienced for a while after trialing other failed interventions.”
