keeping runners running

You worked hard to get to where you are… don’t let an injury stop you now.

Call TODAY and schedule an appointment with one of our ASTYM certified therapists.

ASTYM (A-Stim) treatment is a dramatically different way to treat overuse injuries that affect runners.

Rather than just treat symptoms, the ASTYM process zeroes in on the underlying physiology responsible for injuries. The treatment stimulates the return of healthy tissue, allowing you to keep doing what you love to do.

Best of all…you’ll keep running.

If you really had to narrow down the frustrations that come with dealing with chronic pain, perhaps the single largest frustration would be having to deal with the pain day after day. Chronic pain has a way of interfering with the most basic activities. Getting out of bed and driving to work can become a challenge, as can sitting in a desk chair all day, or attempting to pick up your child when he or she is upset.

What’s causing my neck pain? There are a large number of culprits that could be behind your experience of neck pain, including accidents, such as a car accident or a slip-and-fall accident, as well as sporting injuries. The reason why neck pain frequently becomes so severe is due to the fact that blood vessels have to pass through your neck to reach the head. A spasm in the neck muscles could lead to constricted blood circulation, and therefore migraine headaches. Additionally, since the neck is connected to the spinal column and connected to the nervous system, pain in the neck can quickly develop into tingling or numbness in the hands, arms, and fingers, which can be uncomfortable and frustrating when you are going about daily tasks. When neck pain develops as a result of a pinched nerve, the radiating neck pain can result in severe headaches, and in some cases, even migraine headaches. The pinched nerve can cause pain to radiate from the neck into the skull and can cause a disruption to typical nerve patterns. Working with one of our licensed physical therapists can help you address pain caused by a pinched nerve, and therefore can reduce the severity of headaches that develop as a result of neck pain.

Some of these tasks are more difficult to get around than are others and depending on how the pain is impacting your life, the stress of having to go through extra steps to complete basic tasks can really get out of hand. Neck pain is one of those types of pain that is difficult to work around. Pain in the neck and back will frequently begin to radiate the longer it hangs around, and that could mean shooting pain up your neck and back, all the way into the base of your skull. Once neck pain begins to turn into headaches, attempting to concentrate at work can become exceedingly difficult. Fortunately, physical therapy can help. If you are experiencing neck pain or headaches, contact Advanced Rehabilitation, Inc. today for relief!

HOWWILL PHYSICAL THERAPY HELPMY NECK PAIN?

The good news is that there is actually a lot that you can do to support the healthy operation of your neck, thereby reducing the severity or frequency of your neck pain. Working with a physical therapist is the best way to address neck pain. AtAdvancedRehabilitation, Inc.,yourneckpainwillbeaddressedholistically, taking into consideration the initial injury that may have caused the pain to develop, but also any other habits, movements, or compensations that may be contributing to the discomfort. Our physical therapists take advantage of effective pain-relief strategies, such as manual techniques, stretching, and muscle training, in order to reduce neck pain. Many of these strategies can be adopted in part at home or on the go, in order to help you address your neck pain when it is bothering you the most. Adopting healthier habits can have a big impact on your management of neck pain. These include: • Practicing improved posture • Wearing recommended footwear • Using lumbar support in your desk chair or car • Exercising regularly • Engaging in regular stretching, like yoga ContactAdvancedRehabilitation, Inc.forrelief! AtAdvancedRehabilitation, Inc., one of our primary goals is to address whole-body well-being by encouraging improved overall health. In many situations, this includes improved flexibility and range-of-motion training, muscle building and strength training, and in some cases, encouragement with cardiovascular activities and weight loss. At the end of the day, the best way to free yourself of neck pain is to prevent it from developing in the first place. Working with one of our dedicated and

caring physical therapists can help you beat neck pain before it worsens or before it even begins. The tasks that you do every day can build up over time and cause a lot of stress on your body – and the neck and shoulders are some of the most common places to carry that stress. You may not even begin to realize the impact that simple tasks have on your body. Things like driving, lifting heavy objects — like packages at the front door or even your groceries — and repetitive movements, such as hunching over a keyboard at work, can all seriously impact your neck pain. The longer you let neck pain linger and disrupt your life, the more difficult it becomes to treat. Find relief for your radiating neck pain and headaches today by scheduling a consultation with Advanced Rehabilitation, Inc.! You’ll be happy you did.

Patient Success Spotlight

“I feel like a new person!” “I first visited ARI back in mid-May due to ongoing upper back and neck pain. At that time, it was painful to do just about anything…or nothing at all! With a session of dry needling and a couple sessions of ASTYM, (the ASTYM felt wonderful, by the way!) along with lots of prescribed exercises both at ARI and home, I feel like a new person. I worked with several of the therapists at ARI, and they all treated me well. Now, I can sit at my desk at work for hours on end and not feel the constant pain that I had been feeling. I would highly recommend ARI if you have any nagging pain. I can attest that it has been totally worth it for me!” - Debbie E.
