At Rehabilitex, our treatment approach to mechanical neck and back pain problems may be more of what you are looking for. We want and expect nothing less than results for our patients.
Our goal is to teach the patient the necessary tools to promote healthy, pain-free living in a cost effective and efficient manner. Our highly specialized team of therapists works together with complicated patient cases, but overall, we keep a one on one rapport with our patients during their treatment program here at Rehabilitex.
We begin our evaluation first by carefully listening to our patient’s complaints and needs. We follow this by performing a comprehensive mechanical evaluation of their symptoms to determine potential mechanical causes.
Multiple treatment options are available in our comprehensive care clinic. Here are some of the approaches we may follow after a comprehensive mechanical screening:
- Continual mechanical analysis & problem solving
- Massage therapy
- Manual therapy
- Exercise training in the gym
- Aquatic physical therapy
- Back school classes
- Education
