Maxicare Physical Therapy and Wellness Services
Neck and Shoulder Rehabilitation Program
Shoulders are commonly affected by injuries and health conditions. While your mobility may not necessarily be affected by shoulder pain, other aspects of your life likely are, such as your ability to work, cook, clean, and more. You may even find it hard to put a shirt on or simply going to sleep, especially with shoulder pain.
Lower Back Rehabilitation Program
Lower back pain is extremely common, with nearly half of adults experiencing it in some form at some time. Even lower back pain that is mild can be uncomfortable and make it difficult for you to do much of anything. And when it becomes severe, lower back pain can keep you from sitting, standing, walking, or even laying down without excruciating pain.
Knee Rehabilitation Program
While your mobility may not necessarily be affected by knee pain, other aspects of your life likely are, such as navigating stairs, standing for too long, and more. You may even find it hard to put your shoes on or simply sitting, especially with knee pain.
Balance Rehabilitation Program
Dizziness and vertigo are similar sensations that can leave you feeling not only stuck, but also sick. Dizziness is more so categorized as feeling off balance, whereas vertigo is that feeling where everything around you seem to be spinning. Both conditions are often associated with concussions, but they can occur through a number of varying factors.
5-Step Process
At Maxicare Physical Therapy & Wellness, we have created a 5-Phase programto not only eliminate your aches and pains, but also keep them away for good.
Phase 1: Understand Your Problem
At Maxicare, we realize that many patients are frustrated with the medical system. Far too often, patients don’t receive enough time from their doctor, and patients feel rushed with diagnoses and treatments, leading to a feeling of impersonal care. Maxicare wants to change the way that you view your doctor and your entire treatment process. The first thing that we do is take the time to hear your story.
No two instances of pain are 100% alike. Each and every one of us has a different body type, medical history, and pain tolerance. Maxicare Physical Therapy & Wellness recognizes that everyone is unique, and in order to provide the highest level of care, we need this deep understanding of your history and symptoms.
The key to this is an open and honest conversation about your health.
Part of that starts with you feeling comfortable with our team and trusting us to live up to your expectations.
Phase 2: Find The Root Cause Of The Pain
The root cause of your pain may not necessarily be the same as someone else’s. Different factors contribute to this, such as your medical and injury history, body type, the timeframe of the incident, and more. We want to identify the root cause of your pain and offer a natural, holistic solution to get you back to doing what you love most.
Maxicare offers a discovery visit, which consists of an in-office appointment with one of our physical therapists. During this appointment, we’ll discuss all of your questions and concerns. There is no pre-authorization needed from your insurance, and no prescription is needed from your primary physician. Best of all, our discovery visit is 100% free.
Phase 3: Customized Program To Help Ease Your Pain & Restore Your Mobility
When a doctor gives you a list of exercises to complete, they should be specifically catered to your needs. If you do exercises that irritate your muscles or without proper guidance, you can do more harm than good. At Maxicare, we aim to alleviate your pain before providing you with exercises to do at home. One of the ways that we do this is through manual therapy.
Using targeted treatment techniques, manual therapy helps to quickly restore your mobility and ease your pain prior to beginning exercises.
Our techniques include:
- Focusing on treating scar tissue
- Loosening up joints
- Easing out knots and muscle spasms
With manual therapy, tightness will be eradicated and your muscles will feel less irritated, as blood circulation will improve.
Phase 4: Retrain The “Brain-Body” Connection
Even if you feel pain-free during your treatment, this doesn’t mean that your body is fully healed. Chronic pain causes you to unintentionally develop bad habits to cope with that pain, and these need to be corrected.
Compensations may include:
- Pushing on your things with your hands when bending forward to pick up something from the ground
- Relying on momentum to stand up from a bed or chair
- Easing out knots and muscle spasms
- Learning too far forward to alleviate back stiffness
- Using neck muscles when lifting your shoulders
These types of compensations occur because your brain sees painful movements as harmful. Therefore, it causes you to adjust your movements so you don’t experience that pain. Unfortunately, most pain exercises only help to build strength and increase mobility without restoring brain-body connections.
Our exercise program is much more involved than just a sheet of exercises. We offer complete guidance and attention through 1 to 1 appointments. Through our program, we help patients to:
- Regain confidence in your movements, especially those that were too painful to do or that you were uncertain of
- Go back to exercising with us guiding you along the way, ensuring that you don’t have to worry about hurting yourself again
- Understand brain-body awareness and gain the skills to self-correct improper movements
- Return to doing the activities that you love to do, such as walking, hiking, or jogging
Phase 5: Optimize Your Quality of Life
Patients with the most success are the ones who come in with an open mind, stay motivated, and commit to an active lifestyle. Even if you feel stuck right now, it’s important to understand that with the right effort, you can get back to feeling better and living the quality of life you deserve.
