Physical therapy is in many cases an integral part
of the multi-disciplinary approach to pain management whether acute
or chronic. Licensed physical therapists are specially trained to
evaluate and treat individuals whose ability to function is impaired
or threatened by disease or injury. Following a thorough evaluation,
an individualized treatment program is developed. Treatment techniques
utilized are therapeutic exercises and education, and may include physical
agents such as various heat modalities, cold, electrical stimulation,
TENS, massage and mobilization.
Back and neck schools are part of our program for
all back and neck pain patients. We feature a curriculum designed
to help patients take care of themselves utilizing American Back School
and American Neck School.
