Services
Orthopedic Therapy
Orthopedic therapy addresses injuries and conditions affecting muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons. Our specialists evaluate and treat joint and muscle issues using evidence-based techniques. Patients benefit from improved mobility and reduced pain through targeted rehabilitation programs.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves inserting fine needles into muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve function. This technique enhances blood flow and promotes healing for chronic or acute musculoskeletal conditions. Patients experience faster recovery when combined with other therapeutic interventions.
Graston Technique
The Graston Technique uses specialized instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions. This method improves flexibility, reduces pain, and accelerates recovery from injuries. It is particularly effective for chronic conditions and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Spinal Therapy
Spinal therapy focuses on resolving back pain through targeted exercises and manual techniques. Our clinicians develop customized programs to address structural imbalances and nerve compression. Patients achieve long-term relief through functional rehabilitation and posture correction.
Neurological Therapy
Neurological therapy treats disorders affecting the nervous system, including stroke recovery and balance issues. We employ specialized exercises to improve coordination and motor function. Patients regain independence through structured, progressive rehabilitation programs.

Dr. Dodson and his staff are serious professionals. They are very attentive and are genuinely interested in improving your quality of life. Everyone is friendly, knowledgable, and make you feel at home. Even spending a little time there, you know there is a positive atmosphere and that both the employees and patients are happy to be there. They are efficient, on time, and have everything planned out to get you in, taken care of, and on with the rest of your day. They have exceeded my expectations and I would HIGHLY recommend this place for your needs.

The staff at Paradigm has been very welcoming and encouraging. They make exercising fun. The work they have done with dry needling for my tone has been great. My mom and I could see the result immediately after the first treatment. Mom was not able to flex my left ankle before that but after my first treatment she was able to move it. I recommend Paradigm it's been my favorite outpatient therapy.
