Our Back Injury Rehabilitation Services
Our comprehensive rehabilitation program for back injuries includes a variety of services and treatments designed to promote healing, alleviate pain, and prevent re-injury:
- Initial Evaluation and Personalized Care Plan: A comprehensive assessment to determine the extent of your injury, pain levels, range of motion, and functional limitations. Based on this evaluation, we create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
- Pain Management Techniques: Utilization of modalities such as heat and cold therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation (e.g., TENS), and manual therapy to help manage pain and reduce inflammation.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as spinal mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and myofascial release to relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and enhance spinal alignment.
- Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercise programs focused on strengthening the core, back muscles, and surrounding areas to support the spine, improve flexibility, and promote overall stability and function.
- Core Stabilization Training: Core strengthening exercises are essential for patients with back injuries, as a strong core provides stability and support for the spine, reducing the risk of further injury.
- Postural Training and Body Mechanics Education: Education on proper posture, ergonomics, and body mechanics to help you avoid movements and activities that could aggravate your back injury or lead to future problems.
- Spinal Decompression Therapy: Non-surgical spinal decompression techniques to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, providing pain relief for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.
- Flexibility and Mobility Exercises: Stretching and mobility exercises to improve flexibility in the spine and surrounding muscles, reducing stiffness and improving range of motion.
- Gait and Balance Training: For those whose back injuries affect their balance or walking patterns, we provide gait training to enhance stability, coordination, and overall mobility.
