Back Pain

Back pain ranges in severity from mild to severe. It can be caused by an underlying illness or injuries due to overuse. Exercising too much, lifting heavy objects, and prolonged sitting can also result in back pain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

This is a condition that causes symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and arms. It occurs when the median nerve is squeezed or irritated.

Hand Pain

Many conditions can cause pain in the hand or wrist. These include carpal tunnel syndrome and joint inflammation due to arthritis.

Herniated Discs

A herniated disc is a condition that can cause neck or back pain. The symptoms can radiate into the leg if the herniation is in the lumbar spine (low back), or into the arm if the herniation is in the cervical spine (neck). The condition arises as a result of a tear in the outer layers (annulus) of the disc. The annulus acts as a retaining wall for the inner, gel portion of the disc, or nucleus, that may press on sensitive structures in and around the disc when a herniation occurs.

Mechanical Headaches

Mechanical headaches are those that are affected by position and movement of the head, neck and, less frequently, the jaw or TMJ (temperomandibular joint). Symptomatic and mechanical response to repeated movements and/or sustained positions help to distinguish people who will successfully respond to mechanical treatment, and those who will not.

Neck Pain

Neck pain often results from overuse at work, sport, caring for children, or texting and phone use. The McKenzie Method ® (MDT) can help return you to pain-free function, often relatively quickly. Prevention education helps you amend your posture and stress to eliminate or manage pain in the future.

Shoulder, Arm and Elbow Pain

Frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, de Quervain’s Tenosyovitis are some of the many upper extremity concerns you may have. Our system of evaluation and treatment allows us to assess if the pain or dysfunction is coming from the local structure, or is being referred by the spine.

Travel Sciatica

Prolonged sitting in cramped spaces – often planes and autos – may cause back pain and a special stress we call travel sciatica. Let us help you learn techniques to eliminate and manage pain to return confidently to your active lifestyle.
