Arthritis
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a pain treatment that uses a method of localized freezing temperatures to deaden an irritated nerve. Cryotherapy is also used as a method of treating localized areas of some cancers (called cryosurgery), such as prostate cancer and to treat abnormal skin cells by dermatologists.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is applied using a transducer or applicator that is in direct contact with the patient’s skin. Gel is used on all surfaces of the head to reduce friction and assist transmission of the ultrasonic waves. Therapeutic ultrasound in physical therapy is alternating compression and rarefaction of sound waves with a frequency of 0.7 to 3.3 MHz. Maximum energy absorption in soft tissue occurs from 2 to 5 cm. Intensity decreases as the waves penetrate deeper. They are absorbed primarily by connective tissue: ligaments, tendons, and fascia (and also by scar tissue ).
Iontophoresis

Orthopedics
She was certified in the specialty of orthopedics by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties in 2000. She has experience in outpatient orthopedics, acute care, home health as well as industrial rehab. Teresa established her private practice in the fall of 2000, in order to provide individual, quality, client- based care to the Louisville area. She also hosts movement based classes, such as Tai Chi for Arthritis, which is recognized by the American Arthritis Foundation to relieve pain and reduce falls risk in people impacted by arthritis.
Sciatica
Traction is a form of decompression therapy that relieves pressure on the spine. It can be performed manually or mechanically. It is used to treat herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, and many other back conditions.

Sports Medicine
Iontophoresis is a safe medical procedure that involves sending mild electrical currents through water and into the skin. It’s usually used to treat excessive sweating. However, it can also be used to treat sports injuries by delivering anti-inflammatory medications directly into the skin.

Occupational Therapy
Melissa Pierie is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, with a bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy in 1991. She earned her certification in Hand Therapy in 2001. She has experience working with adult and pediatric hand and upper extremity disabilities and injuries, including splint construction for specific problems. Her goal is to return a client to their most functional capabilities for work, leisure activities, and self-care tasks.
Manual Therapy
The application of the appropriate physical modality(s), specific joint manipulation and or stretching, creation of and instruction in a specific exercise prescription, instruction in ergonomics for reduction in wear and tear on the body systems are all physical methods utilized by physical therapy to enhance healing, improve motor and muscle control, improve joint motion, reduce pain, and/or reduce swelling.
