Philosophy
Evaluate, Diagnose, Educate, and Treat. We are committed to:
- thoroughly evaluate our patients
- diagnose their back and neck conditions
- educate them as to the causes, treatments and management of their condition
- restore their spinal function, activity level and independence through the most scientifically-based treatment available.
Sometimes, the diagnosis is quite clear (such as a herniated disc) causing characteristic symptoms and a very clear path of treatment. Other times, if a diagnosis is obscure or multifactorial (yet not surgical) it is appropriate to “diagnose by treating” with safe and tested physical therapy methods based upon what provokes and what relieves the symptoms. With spinal conditions, the change in one’s symptoms while achieving therapy milestones helps greatly to determine the next step—both diagnostically and therapeutically.
