Treatment Options

 

Treatment Options are dependent upon the Phase or Level of the injury.

 

•Acute Phase.

Treatment of pain and inflammation after a specific diagnosis has been made by in-depth evaluation, electromyography (EMG), x-ray, MRI, CT scan, etc. Treatment options may include mobilization, manual therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic exercise, esthetics/braces, medication and specialized injections.

•Recovery Phase.

Flexibility and strength are developed to return the body parts to their proper positions. The goal of this phase is to get you back to your usual work, athletic and leisure activities. This goal is achieved through specially designed exercises that rebuild the body.

•Maintenance Phase.

Total body fitness program designed to maintain body mechanics and increase endurance after the original symptoms have resolved in order to minimize recurrence of the problem and prevent further injury.
