Physical Therapy Treatments & Techniques
During your first visit, your physical therapist will ask you questions about your neck and back pain, and perform a physical evaluation of your range of motion, flexibility, strength, sensation and reflexes in order to identify areas that need attention or monitoring. We’ll work with you to set functional, achievable goals for your treatment and teach you neck and back exercises you can start performing at home.
Follow-up treatment sessions will typically include warming up on a piece of cardio equipment, followed by strengthening and stretching exercises. Depending on your condition, we may also use heat and cold modalities, hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic ultrasound and laser therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, or traction.
