EL PHYSICAL THERAPY ICIAN UPDATE ck Pain In The Winter or the Medical Community
therapists are specially trained to evaluate core, alignment, strength, and flexibility. Any deficits in these areas can lead to injury-inducing lifting technique. If these imbalances in bio-mechanics are not addressed, they can lead to wear and tear in the future. On top of that, repetitive lifting required for common activities like snow shoveling, moving boxes, and even carrying small children can fatigue muscles and place joints in positions that are vulnerable to injury. Luckily, our treatment model is designed for precisely these kinds of issues. Patients receive an individualized plan of care that is centered on your patient’s functional goals as well as the measurements we take in the initial examination. Our certified specialists tailor treatment to a host of orthopedic issues including disc herniations, arthritis, pinched nerves, scoliosis, sciatica and low back sprains. We utilize hands-on care with each patient to get to the cause of their problem and find the solution together. If you have any concerns regarding your patient’s pain or mobility leading up to this winter season, don’t wait for it to worsen! A growing number of studies suggest that early physical therapy can help improve outcomes and help decrease health care costs4.
Call us today to help your patients overcome any problems holding them back this winter.
