How We Treat Spine Pain
Assessment
This step includes a detailed history about your symptoms. You will be asked to do repeated movements in a variety of positions. How your symptoms and range of movement changes with these repeated movements provides the clinician with information about your problem.
Classification
Your evaluation will provide insight to nature of your pain and syndrome condition. Then your therapist can take you on a logical path for treatment.
Treatment
You will be eduated on a specific exercise program and given advice on which postures to adopt and those to avoid. Hands-on techniques may be added until you can self manage. You will be actively involved in your care. The knowledge you gain will lead to regular self-treatment.
Prevention
You control your pain.
