If you think that growing older automatically leads to back pain, here’s some great news; it doesn’t! Many people suffer from pain, yet, they still believe their aches and pains are a natural part of aging. They’re not.
After back pain, neck pain comes in at a close second as one of the most treated issues in our physical therapy clinics in Jersey City and Elizabeth, NJ. Neck pain can come different forms, including a constant ache or sharp pain with movement, which can stop you from enjoying your regular daily activities. A common problem, neck pain affects approximately 2/3rds of the population at one point or another.
Managing Parkinson’s can seem like a daunting task. Due its progressive nature, it is easy to have a very pessimistic attitude when dealing with the disease. But NOT in our physical therapy clinic. With the LSVT program, we make sure that patients know that they can continuing LIVING with the disease as long as they are willing to put in the work. And it definitely IS possible to continue on, even with the disease.
So, you’ve done it. You’ve taken the first step to getting rid of your back pain from sciatica by making an appointment for physical therapy and starting a course of treatment. You’re now well on your way to getting back to a pain free life! But you’re still left with a very natural question: how long will it take before the pain goes away?
Have you ever disregarded your dizziness symptoms, thinking that they’ll just go away on their own? We have had so many patients make that mistake. Dizziness and vertigo symptoms are two of the most overlooked conditions by both patients and medical professionals. But no matter how long you’ve had your symptoms, you can ALWAYS get it fixed by coming in to us for vestibular physical therapy.
Make your appointment now so that you can get rid of your dizziness problems too!
Low back pain patients who underwent early physical therapy reportedly had better outcomes than those who did not. Early physical therapy was also more cost-effective, according to researchers.
In the study, published recently in the journal Spine, researchers studied the effect of early physical therapy on 220 patients with low back pain, with respect to both outcomes and costs.
When a patient comes in for sciatica physical therapy in the Elizabeth or Jersey City clinics, we always give each patient a personalized home exercise program. Numerous studies show that physical therapy in conjunction with a consistent home exercise program has the best results with getting rid of sciatica pain. But many patients often have the same, burning questions:
How often should I do my exercises? And do I need to do them forever?
Pain can be a problem for every aspect of our lives, especially when it comes to working. For Tracy, after we had helped her previously with terrible knee pain, she knew that the only way to get rid of her current shoulder pain was to get back into the office for physical therapy again.
It goes without saying that we LOVE all of our ROCKSTAR physical therapy patients in Elizabeth and Jersey City. We try as hard as possible to build a comfortable little community in our physical therapy clinics, where patients can not only feel great after seeing us, but also feel great when they’re in the clinic as well!
When it comes to back pain, I always let my physical therapy patients know that treatment may be an ongoing thing. We can always help you get back from injury, but once you get back out on your own, there is always a chance for re-injury, which means you may need to come back for physical therapy.
