Rehabilitation
Recuperation solutions are provided for smoking addicts; stroke victims; patients suffering from fractures, neurological impairments, orthopedic problems, congenital defects, head injuries, or chronic illness. Low-tech and high tech rehabilitation equipment is used.

Physical Therapy
Treatment modalities such as heat, cold, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), myofascial release, traction, ultrasound, massages, and physical therapy exercises are utilized to alleviate pain, reduce disability, and return body function.

MRI & Diagnostics
HealthQuest has been accredited by the American College of Radiology. It is one of the clinics offering open MRI. Open MRI is a sophisticated method of diagnostic imaging which develops in depth images of structures inside the body, without utilizing ionized radiation. These images help to detect tumors, sports injuries, disorders of the muscles and joints, and abnormalities.

Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical and FDA approved spinal decompression is offered to treat problems such as disc hernia, foramenal stenosis, radiculopathy, numbness, sciatica, tingling, and disc protrusion.

Smoking Cessation
Since 2000, HealthQuest has successfully curbed smoking addictions through the adoption of an FDA approved, painless and short duration technique called auriculotherapy. The technique works by stimulating the release of endorphins, a naturally occurring element. The endorphins get rid nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Orthopedics
A treatment methodology integrating physical and radiological evaluations, patient history, localized anesthesia and individualized care is adopted to diagnose, prevent and treat musculoskeletal afflictions and diseases. The facility specializes in sports medicine, foot and ankle, hip and knee, spine, and pediatric orthopedics.

Pain Management
Both acute and chronic pain is countered with techniques such as manual methods, TENS, muscle relaxant and/or analgesic medication, prolotherapy, and radiofrequency radio ablation.

Weight Loss Program
Auricular therapy is used to control appetite, reduce cravings and to make the patient more in control of his weight. The treatment is painless and safe.

Slip/Fall Prevention
A fall risk assessment and conditioning program is offered by the facility. The program is in keeping with American Geriatric Society Clinical Practice Guidelines for Prevention of Falls in Older Adults. It is geared towards enhancing mobility and increasing independence.
