This month we are highlighting CORPORATE HEALTH! At Advanced Medical of Florida, we provide resources for companies who want to ensure their teams are healthy while reducing their risk of future injuries.

In recent years, a more sedentary lifestyle for many Americans has caused a rise in diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Declining overall health costs corporations in terms of reduced productivity and attendance. It is our goal to reduce those costs by improving overall employee health.

Local employers have utilized us for on-site ergonomic assessments and workshops to ensure work stations are set up properly. We can also administer take-home exercises that help reduce the risk of future injuries like carpal tunnel, neck pain, back pain, and common types of tendinitis.

We have also been requested to participant in corporate health fairs. We provide free thermography scans and no-charge consultations with our doctors on-site at the health fairs.

Most major workers’ compensation insurance plans cover those who are injured at work. The insurance can cover in-person appointments at our clinics or telehealth visits. We also accept most personal health insurance plans for non-work related injuries.

If health is important to you or your employer then feel free to call us to learn more!

This nerve disorder causes pain and numbness for millions of Americans. For people who have been diagnosed with neuropathy, we like to take a multi-specialty approach to produce great results.

Neuropathy, or nerve damage, can result from a wide range of conditions such as diabetes and even treatments like chemotherapy.

In fact, neuropathy, which is sometimes referred to as peripheral neuropathy, is not a single health condition but rather a term used to describe a range of health problems involving damage to the peripheral nerves, as well as the symptoms of those issues.

Physical Therapy is our primary method of treatment for this condition and it can involve manual therapy, gait/balance training, and utilization of technology such as our Hako-Med nerve stimulation and Anodyne LED Light Therapy depending on the needs of the person.

Most neuropathy treatments are covered with insurance and the treatments will always be discussed before starting any intervention. We do offer a FREE Consultation as well, which provides a great opportunity to receive a complimentary assessment and get any questions answered by one of our doctors.

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Cupping Therapy has been recently brought back to the public, however its origin stems from ancient civilizations in China, India, and Egypt. Using negative pressure, a vacuum creates a suction effect that increases blood and lymphatic circulation, relaxes muscle tissue and fascia, draws stagnation, pathogenic factors and toxins out of the body and releases a myriad of pain causing factors. Cupping therapy helps relieve muscular tightness, nerve impingement, digestive problems, sciatica, migraines, and many many more!

Most people are not familiar with the procedure, but it gained a bit of notoriety of few years ago when the olympic swimmers showed red rings on their backs which were later revealed to be caused by cupping.

Cupping is just one of the techniques employed at Advanced Medical of Florida. Our offices have multiple types of practitioners on hand that work together. Therefore, our patients have a team of providers to help reach their goals!

When your spine is aligned properly, your body maintains a relatively straight line from your head down to your shoulders and back, as well as your hips, knees, and feet. Having proper alignment goes beyond maintaining a good posture — it can also help prevent long-term pain.

You may not realize that your spine is misaligned. To check it our, you could look in the mirror, or ask a friend to take a look. Is everything level? See if your shoulders, hips, knees and ankles all leverl or if one side dipping.

Is one leg appear to be longer than the other? If one of your legs extends longer the the other, that could be because your spine is out of alignment.

Do you have trouble moving your neck from side to side? How about when you are looking in the real view mirror in your car? Do you have to turn around to see? This could be another red flag.

Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine mostly concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine.

Chiropractors treatment consists of a spinal manipulation, sometimes referred to as a chiropractic adjustment. The purpose of a spinal manipulation is to restore joint mobility by applying a controlled force into the joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement and possibly pinching a nerve – as a result of a tissue injury or poor posture/ergonomics.

Our chiropractors can consult with you about the condition of your spine. Advanced Medical of Florida provides you with the medical care you need.  For more information, go to our web site http://www.amfhealthcare.com or call (727) 408-5222.

Interventional pain management is a discipline in pain management. The goal is to help patients relieve their pain. These pain doctors look beyond medication to help someone deal with pain. They rely instead on a vast array of therapies to help diagnose, reduce, and if possible, completely relieve a person’s pain.

For example, a patient may receive technology guided injections, along with specialized physical therapy to address the root cause of the issue. The ultimate goal is to help a patient get back to their best life. Often, doctors do this by helping patients return to their normal activities as quickly as possible.

Interventional pain management is generally used when pain is severe enough to interfere with daily activities and other treatments have not been successful in reducing pain. If you’re in pain, interventional pain management may help you reduce your pain and get your life back.

Our doctors use cutting-edge treatment options, such as Ultrasound and Fluoroscope guidance for every injection. This allows our practitioners to see your bodies structures in real time as they are performing the procedure, creating a high degree of specificity and likelihood for success.

Extreme, long term pain can reduce quality of life and make every day a struggle. Interventional pain management can help you reduce pain and get you back to living your best life!

Our offices have multiple types of pain management practitioners on hand that work together. Therefore, our patients have a team of providers to help reach their goals!
