Many other chronic conditions We accept referrals from a variety of sources, including physicians, dentists, case managers, chiropractors, attorneys, insurance and Workers' Compensation carriers and other allied health professionals, as well as patient self-referrals. Treatments may include traditional modalities, such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, traction, massage, stretching and flexibility exercises, as well as advanced manual techniques not offered elsewhere, such as myofascial release, joint mobilization, muscle energy and spray and stretch techniques. Body mechanics and modification of faulty movement patterns and postures are taught and reinforced during treatment sessions. Our therapists instruct patients in correct sitting and standing postures, workplace ergonomics, use of assistive devices, sleep positioning and bending and lifting techniques specific to their needs and activities.
Exercise is an important component of all treatment plans.
Therapists instruct patients in performing exercises that promote self-management of their conditions and prevent recurrence of injuries. These sessions focus on the anatomy and physiology of pain and its relation to patients' diagnoses, as well as prevention and management of various secondary problems and reinjury. Posture and body mechanics training are also available. Following completion of our therapeutic exercise program, patients repeat strength and range of motion measurements, which help determine their capabilities and restrictions. A home program or membership at a health club for continuation of the structured exercise program may be recommended.
