N E W S L E T T E R GETTING TO KNOW THE REDDY-CARE PHYSICAL THERAPY TEAM! DR. ERIC BAYER, DPT
“What led tome becoming a Physical Therapist was my strong desire to help people and my interest in learning about the mechanics of the human body. I have now been in this profession for over 10 years and truly love my job. It is extremely rewarding to not only see patients progressing in the clinic, but to hear their excitement when talking about accomplishments with daily activities that
PT helped them to achieve. Reddy-Care has an excellent team oriented approach and has provided me a great opportunity to advance my clinical skills through a variety of courses and has allowed me to grow as the Clinical Director of our Farmingdale office.” - Eric Call Dr. Bayer today to start your recovery journey with Reddy-Care Physical Therapy!

INSIDE : • A 30 Second Self-Test For Sciatica • Refer A Friend If you’ve experienced back pain, and even leg pain, you might have a deeper issue. Your minor aches and pinched nerves could be symptomatic of deeper issues. You might be facing sciatica. While “sciatica” may sound serious, it’s entirely curable. Inside, we’ll cover Sciatica is pain that radiates alongside the sciatic nerve. This nerve, which branches from your lower back — spanning across your hips, buttocks and legs — can be injured or stressed in several ways. Mayo Clinic has pinpointed the most common cause of sciatica-related pain: inflammation along the spine, where compressed nerves are aggravated. While sciatica pain can be great, it can be treated. A lot of sciatica cases, in fact, can be resolved without operation — and in a few weeks. Even if you’ve suffered severe sciatica spawned from leg weakness, bladder changes or nerve issues, there’s still hope. What Causes Sciatica? In most cases, sciatica occurs when one of the back’s discs is herniated. It can also happen if the spine narrows — an effect called spinal stenosis. As we age, our backs undergo a lot of stress. This stress takes a toll, causing inflammation in several areas. If this inflammation reaches a certain point, it may compress these nerves — resulting in pain. What Are the Symptoms of Sciatica? Sciatica back pain is normally noticed as a pain radiating from the lower sciatica back pain. What Is Sciatica?

back. Often, this pain extends to the buttock, spiraling down the leg. If you’re suffering from sciatica, you might feel the discomfort anywhere along this nerve pathway. The pain can even extend to the calf. The pain itself can be dull, aching or even sharp. In some cases, the compressed nerve may feel like it burns, causing considerable pain. In other cases, the compressed nerve may simply issue a sharp jolt of pain. Some people experiencing sciatica may even have leg numbness, tingling or weakness. If sciatica isn’t treated, it can hinder mobility altogether. How Physical Therapy Can Help with Sciatica If you’re experiencing sciatica, contact a physician immediately. Medical News Today asserts that over-the-counter painkillers may alleviate pain, but in-depth physical therapy is often needed. Physical therapy can reduce sciatica compression by carefully introducing exercises and relaxing treatments. These treatments, hand picked by medical professionals, can completely eliminate sciatica over time. If you’re experiencing back pain, don’t wait. Call one of our professionals today, and ask about physical therapy options. Your mobility is important, and your back can absolutely be healed. https://www.webmd.com/back-pain/what-is-sciatica#1https://www.medicinenet.com/sciatica/ article.htm https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sciatica/symptoms-causes/syc- 20377435 https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/7619.php

I was given the confidence and the help to be able to bring my leg back to its full strength again. “I came to Reddy-Care PT with a torn ACL and various other problems with my knee. I was in horrible pain and very unsure if I would ever be able to do the things I did before my injury. From day one of my physical therapy, I was given the confidence and the help to be able to bring my leg back to its full strength again. This way I could get back to work and doing what I love, playing baseball. Today I can run as if I was never hurt and I owe my success fully to Reddy-Care. Thank you again Reddy-Care.” - O.A.
