Specialized Spine & Joint Physical Therapy Needs Your Support

The new coronavirus has changed life for all of us. Local businesses have taken a huge economic hit, but communities are finding creative ways to support the establishments they know and love.

In an effort to help local businesses in our communities stay connected and succeed, Patch will shine a light on some of them through a series of Q&A articles during this time.

Specialized Spine & Joint Physical Therapy is one of the businesses in town facing struggles during the coronavirus. You can lend your support by reading more about the company, below, and by contacting them here.

Tell us about your business and its history in your town.

I am a doctor of physical therapy certified in the McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy and I specialize in this non-traditional active therapy that focuses on identifying and understanding an individual’s overall patterns of pain and movement and in teaching self assessment and self treatment techniques as well as how to prevent and minimize recurrence. All that is needed is the ability of the therapist and patient to see and hear each other for observational movement assessment, testing and home program instruction.

Most patients report at least a 20 to 25 percent reduction in pain at only their second weekly follow-up session, and the majority of patients report more than 60 to 70 percent improvement in four weeks. The total number of visits needed on average ranges anywhere from four to seven. No prescription required, eligible for out of network benefits reimbursement, use your flexible spending account!
