Spine Rehabilitation
Whether you have back pain, radiating arm pain, neck pain or thoracic (mid-back) pain, we can help. Your spine must be flexible, strong, and healthy in order to maintain a pain free body. Physical therapy focuses on controlling pain and symptoms as well as creating an individualized program that focuses on returning the patient to their optimal functional level. Below is an example of one our spine rehabilitation programs.

Low Back Pain
Low back pain is often a common symptom of many disease conditions and the back pain may range from simple or dull pain to sudden and sharp pain. If the pain persists for a few days, it is acute pain whereas if it continues for more than 3 months, it is considered as chronic pain.
Non-Surgical Treatment for Disc Disease
The spinal column consists of vertebral bones stacked one on top of the other, surrounding and protecting the spinal cord. Soft cartilaginous discs present between the vertebrae support the spine, act as cushions against stress and permit spine mobility.
Spine Rehabilitation
Dysfunction of the spine can be severely debilitating to one’s ability to perform activities at both home and work. Pain in the lumbar spine (lower back) is the number one reason for missed days of work, followed by the pain of the cervical spine (neck).
