The treatment of neck and back (spine) problems is a specific specialty of orthopedic physical therapy. Our physical therapists use passive and active therapies based on McKenzie spine treatment protocols to treat patients. Passive therapies include heat/cold therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, massage, and joint mobilization. Active therapies include carefully monitored stretching, strengthening and other therapeutic exercise. In addition, our treatment programs include constant patient education on their condition so as to make the patient aware of how they can help to improve their condition in their daily lives.
Our specialized treatment plans can help to reduce pain, increase flexibility, build strength, improve gait, and even improve your posture.
