Physical Therapy
Our goal is to empower you with the tools and knowledge needed to manage your pain effectively and regain control over your life.
At Northwest Spine & Pain Medicine, we understand that effective pain management extends beyond medical interventions. Our Physical Therapy Department is dedicated to providing personalized rehabilitation services aimed at reducing pain and enhancing your quality of life.
Our licensed physical therapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your pain and its impact on your daily activities.
Based on this evaluation, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include:
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and soft tissues, aiming to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Core Stabilization: Exercises designed to strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, enhancing stability and reducing strain.
Flexibility Training: Stretching routines to improve range of motion and prevent injury.
Postural Training: Education and exercises to promote proper posture, reducing stress on muscles and joints.
