The agonizing and sometimes debilitating discomfort from back pain can cause us to lose out on the important things, like spending time with our families, and being productive at work. Even the simplest daily activities can require monumental strength to muster through them.
Common Causes of Back Pain
• Muscle strains and tears
• Ligament tears
• Bulging discs
• Ruptured discs
• Osteoarthritis
• Nerve dysfunction
• Being overweight
• Muscle Weakness
• Forward Positioned Head
Permeating and Peripheral Pain from the Back
When the joints and disc cartilage begin to break down, often times, bone spurs will occur, which leads to nerve pressure on the spinal column. Nerve pain will cause numbness, weakness, pain and tingling in the arms, neck, and legs.
When pain medications, NSAIDs and other treatments fail to offer relief, patients often don’t know where to turn. Physical therapy provides pain relief via several therapeutic factors, such as manual stretching, traction, retraining the muscles, and a custom-tailored program to not only reduce and alleviate pain, but to strengthen your muscles and regenerate affected tissues.
Surgery and addictive medications are not always the answer. You don’t have to mask your pain, physical therapy can restore your body naturally, and it is an essential element to relieving back pain and reducing the likelihood of reinjury. If you often experience pain, stiffness, immobility or balance issues being proactive about physical therapy treatments and techniques can help to alleviate or lessen these circumstances. Mobile Rehab, LLC offers physical therapy at the home or location that’s most convenient for the patient.
For patients suffering from pain, the first step to recovery is to receive a proper diagnosis so the cause of the symptoms can be determined. Physical therapists are trained to administer flexibility and strengthening tactics along with body mechanics and awareness techniques to get your body moving and creating a much less painful range-of-motion. With ongoing therapy, most people see remarkable outcomes and lasting results.
Additionally, Occupational Therapy is available to assist patients with chronic pain to adapt their performances, improve their function, and properly utilize ergonomics in all activities. This helps to reduce extra strain on the spine and reduce overall pain levels.
MOBILE REHAB—CONCIERGE OUTPATIENT THERAPY
Mobile Rehab, LLC is currently serving Naples and Marco Island. Concierge Outpatient Therapy allows patients to receive a higher level of personalized care within the comfort of their own homes and communities. Chronic patients need higher quality therapy with the ability to work outside of traditional home health and outpatient restrictions.
We are NOT HOME HEALTH. We are set up like a traditional Outpatient Therapy provider. We bill Medicare Part B, but instead of requiring patients to travel to facilities, our therapists travel to the patient’s homes and communities. This removes the burden of travel, decreases risk for infection, and increases patient compliance. Therapists are able to assess real conditions, design programs that can be utilized by the patient for more extended periods of time and provide more personalized care. Therapists are not limited to the intense restrictions of home health or profit margins of an outpatient setting. We believe that our clients are long term members of the Mobile Rehab family, and we care about their long-term success.
Mobile Rehab also offers Specialized Therapeutic Training:
• Balance and Dynamic Reach Program
• Neurological Rewiring
• Cognitive Training
• Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
• Personalized Parkinson’s Programs
• Back Pain and Postural Correction
• Home Assessments and Modifications
