This month we are highlighting our specialized Neck/Back Program. We combine guided injections utilizing technology such as ultrasound or fluoroscope, high-quality prefabricated braces/taping, physical therapy, and treatments such as traction from our decompression table to help our patients achieve a pain-free life!

Our neck/back program can help with many spine conditions such as degenerative disc disease, sciatica, arthritis, stenosis, and herniated or bulging discs. Our program is a non-surgical solution to your neck or back pain, and it is not just a cortisone shot, which many people have tried before.

This program is covered with health insurance, including Medicare! Auto insurance also covers our services if you were involved in an accident. Call or click the link below if you are interested in a FREE Consultation.

Physical therapy for neck and back pain is a crucial component in managing and treating these common musculoskeletal issues. Neck and back pain can result from various factors such as poor posture, muscle strain, injury, or underlying medical conditions. Physical therapy aims to alleviate pain, improve mobility, strengthen muscles, and enhance overall function to restore the patient’s quality of life.

The first step in physical therapy for neck and back pain typically involves a comprehensive assessment by a licensed physical therapist. This assessment helps identify the underlying causes of the pain and develops an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs. The therapist may evaluate posture, range of motion, muscle strength, flexibility, and other factors to determine the most effective approach.

One of the primary goals of physical therapy for neck and back pain is to reduce pain and inflammation. Therapeutic techniques such as manual therapy, massage, and joint mobilization can help relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce discomfort. Additionally, modalities like heat, ice, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation may be used to alleviate pain and promote healing.

Another essential aspect of physical therapy for neck and back pain is exercises and stretching. These exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles that support the spine, improve flexibility, and correct postural imbalances. Patients may perform exercises targeting the neck, shoulders, back, and core muscles to enhance stability and reduce strain on the spine.

Education and self-management strategies are also integral components of physical therapy for neck and back pain. Patients learn proper body mechanics, ergonomics, and techniques to prevent injury during daily activities. They may also receive guidance on lifestyle modifications, such as weight management and stress reduction, to promote long-term spine health.

Throughout the course of treatment, physical therapists monitor the patient’s progress closely and adjust the treatment plan as needed. They may incorporate additional therapeutic modalities, advanced exercises, or manual techniques to address specific challenges and optimize outcomes.
