Back Pain & Sciatica
According to World Health Organization (WHO), low back pain is so prevalent that up to 70% of us experience it at least once in our lifetime. For many of us, this pain becomes a chronic issue. When stretching and exercise isn’t enough, a physical therapist can help reduce your lower back pain symptoms and resolve the underlying cause.
Neck Pain & Headaches
Neck pain is a common issue that many individuals deal with on a daily basis. It can get worse if left untreated, and in severe cases, surgery may even be needed. Neck pain can cause debilitating and extremely uncomfortable sensations, especially if the pain stretches from your neck down to your shoulders or cause frequent headaches/migraines. The primary focus of physical therapy will be to correctly identify the underlying cause of pain and improve the neck’s strength and flexibility through a carefully designed treatment program.

Pre-Surgical Rehabilitation

It can reduce the amount of care you’ll need postoperatively, may minimize post-surgical pain, and help you go into your surgery as strong and healthy as possible.

Physical therapist will also focus on patient education on future injury prevention.

Patients with vestibular disorders often experience problems with vertigo, dizziness, visual disturbance, imbalance, and/or unsteady gait. As a result of sedentary lifestyle, decreased muscle strength and flexibility, increased joint stiffness, and reduced stamina can occur. Physical therapist can customize an exercise-based treatment program to address these issues and improve quality of life.
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ)
TMJ syndrome is Pain and compromised movement of the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles. Physical therapists can help treat your TMJ by using a combination of manual techniques and gentle strengthening exercises to restore the natural movements of your jaw and decrease pain.
