The Ideal Treatment For Low Back Pain “We Can Spark A Light Of Hope For Pain Relief!”

Do you suffer from an aching back? Whether it is a short-lived muscle spasm, or a long-term problem, your back is telling you something! Your spine is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, discs, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. It is the hub of your nervous system where messages to and from your brain travel to different parts of your body. It is so complex, that it takes years for you to master the ability to stand up straight, walk, and run. As we age, it is very common to suffer aches and pains in the lower back, typically because of poor posture and prolonged sitting, or previous injuries; however aches and pains are a sign of underlying problems. Your spine relies on proper posture, alignment, strength, and coordination. When any one of these key areas doesn’t work right, strain and stress occurs on the spine, sparking inflammation and pain. Inflammation weakens the spinal muscles and legmuscles, causing difficulty with everyday activities. Getting up and down from the floor, squatting, standing for long periods, and even walking can become a problem. This can really affect your life and the longer the problem persists, the more long-term damage can occur. Quickly Relieve Low Back Pain Most low back pain can easily be treated with physical therapy and without the need for surgery, or prolonged medication. Physical therapy can reduce inflammation, restore proper function, restore normal back strength and prevent future injury. Maintaining and buildingmuscle strength is particularly important to getting you back to doing the things you love to do, without worrying about the pain. Not all low back pain is the same, so your treatment will be tailored to for your specific symptoms and condition. Once the examination is complete, your physical therapist will evaluate the results, identify the factors that have contributed to your specific back problem, and design an individualized treatment plan for your specific back problem. Our physical therapists have years of medical training and skills to thoroughly evaluate and pinpoint the cause of your back pain.

3 Common Spine Problem Areas

Whether you have back pain, neck pain, or radiating arm / leg pain, we can help. Your spine must be flexible, strong, and healthy in order for you to maintain a pain free body. We ensure that you’ll achieve the best results for your back/neck pain with the Rehability spine program. UPPER SPINE Pain or injury here is often responsible for headaches to the scalp and face. This area helps with overall body balance and the ability to rotate the neck. Conditions involving the upper spine often present as limited motion and contribute to a forward head posture. As a result, this increases strain on the neck causing muscle pain and tension. In addition, weakness and pain to the shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers can be common. MID SPINE Pain or injuries here can cause limited motion and mid-back pain. The nerves exiting this area are responsible for digestion, heart and lung function. Limited motion here also increases the amount of strain on the lower spine. LOWER SPINE A common area of low back pain and radiating leg pain. This area can cause a significant amount of back pain because it is supposed to rotate with walking. Furthermore, this is a common area for disc herniation that can cause pain, numbness and tingling into the buttocks, thighs, legs or feet.

Tech Spotlight SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY REHABILITY’S Non-Surgical Solution for..

• Herniated Discs • Degenerated Discs • Pinched Spinal Nerves

Spinal Decompression Therapy with the Dynatron DX2 is an innovative technology in which an advanced mechanical traction system controlled by a computer, digitally calculates the angle and tension required to specifically target and decompress a pre-determined spinal level of disc or nerve impairment. With precise table attachments for proper positioning of the lumbar or cervical spine (back or neck), the DX2 is then set to the appropriate angle-of-pull necessary to gently relieve spinal pressure at a controlled intensity, over a period of 15-20 minutes. Patients often experience immediate relief as the decompression process eases the pressure on the affected disc or spinal nerve. The separation that occurs within the spine also creates a vacuum effect, re-directing necessary nutrients, oxygen and fluids into the injured area to accelerate healing. Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-invasive, effective treatment option for those suffering from neck, back, arm, leg pain due to injured discs and pinched spinal nerves. Our treatment approach integrates manual “hands-on” techniques with gentle stretching and conditioning to ensure a full recovery and long-lasting results.
