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. This program generally lasts 6-12 weeks. During the first three weeks of the program, our staff evaluates patients' physical, educational, vocational, emotional and psychological needs. Patients, physicians, family members, employers, insurance companies and case managers are involved in establishing goals.
Patients gradually progress from passive conservative to active conservative treatment approaches.
Our Pain Management classes answer patients' questions regarding diagnoses and treatment options and provide patients with a wide variety of tools designed to minimize pain and anxiety. We work closely with, and provide treatment summary data for, our referring physicians or agencies to ensure continuity of care.
