- Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Overuse and/or poor form can often end in a painful sports injury. Whether it is runner’s knee, tennis elbow or swimmer’s shoulder, certain aspects of the body’s energy channels need to be re-adjusted…Learn More - Arthritis
Arthritis is the breakdown of cartilage which would otherwise support a joint where two bones meet. Eventually bone on bone friction can result with little or no fluid protection as well as limited soft tissue. Minor or extreme pain, along with limited mobility arises creating great discomfort…Learn More - Back Pain
Back pain is the result of structural trauma, muscular dehydration, disease and more. Sports injuries, repetitive use syndrome, age degeneration, kidney stones and bone loss can all contribute to back pain. However, most pain is due to mechanical or non-organic causes such as ligament pulls, strained muscles, irritated joints and ruptured disks…Learn More - Neck Pain
Neck pain is the result of slight discomfort to stabbing, radiating pain in one or more structures including muscle, nerves or vertebrae. The intricate cushioning between the vertebrae can also affect the health of the neck as they may slip, bulge, impinge or degenerate. Other causes of neck pain may come from the head, jaw, shoulders or upper arms…Learn More - Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is described as pressure on the median nerve which runs through the carpal tunnel supplying feeling to the hand and fingers. Pain resonates from the wrist, to the elbow, hand and into the fingers. It can present in the form of numbness, tingling, stabbing, weakness or extreme all around pain throughout the hand, wrist and elbow…Learn More - Tendonitis
Tendons are fibrous structures that connect muscle to bone. They sustain high amounts of activity and pressure which can often result in pulls and tears. Tendonitis is the swelling, inflammation and irritation of the tendon due to overuse, trauma, age and sometimes systemic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis…Learn More - Hip and Knee Pain
Hip and knee pain is often caused by wear and tear of the surrounding cartilage and tendons due to age, trauma, sports injury or disease. This degeneration can eventually result in the bones rubbing against one another creating inflammation and pain. Also, because of the intricate movement associated with the ball and socket hip and the hinge-like knee, when one is weakened the other can soon follow…Learn More - Shoulder and Wrist Pain
Similar to the hip and knee, shoulder and wrist pain can occur when one joint is challenged by sports injury, age, trauma or disease and the other joint weakens as a result. It can be cartilage breakdown, a ligament tear, tendon pull, painful bursar sac formation or bone on bone friction which all cause inflammation and pain…Learn More - Athletic Performance Enhancement
Athletic performance enhancement is the use of an outside source to improve an athlete’s on field capability exponentially. It can include rapid muscle mass growth, mind training, lung expansion and advanced circulatory expansion. Because of these results an athlete can surpass competitors and quickly proceed to a higher level of athletic execution…Learn More - Sciatica
The sciatic nerve starts in the lower spine running through the pubic region and down the bi-lateral posterior legs. It is responsible for controlling the muscles of the back of the knee and lower leg providing sensation to back of the thigh, the lower leg, back and parts of the foot. Sciatica results from the impingement to this nerve either by a structural injury such as a slipped disk, sports injury and fatigue, piriformis syndrome, pelvic injury or disease such as tumors…Learn More - Disk Herniation
When the disk cushioning that sits between the spinal vertebrae is moved beyond its normal position it can become herniated. This often results in mild to extreme leg and back pain as well as weakness of the musculature of the lower extremities. Pain from a herniated disk radiates from the nerves alongside each disk due to impingement. Causes can come from sports injury, a fall, traumatic event or any number of degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis…Learn More - Muscle Atrophy
Is the wasting or loss of muscle tissue which can be caused by lack of use, injury or disease. Lack of use can come from a sedentary job, no exercise, a sport or accidental injury or a medical condition that limits movement. Symptoms usually present as stooped posture, back pain, poor balance, Achilles tendon contracture, rigid spine, considerable weakness as well as a visual comparison showing reduced musculature…Learn More - Spasms and Twitches
Spasms and twitches are odd to experience with their unpredictable location and duration. These involuntary contractions are muscular irregularities called fasciculations. They often occur in single nerve fiber muscle groups which usually affect a small, localized area. Muscle cramps are different inasmuch that they target a larger muscle group and denser area. Usually not serious, spasms and twitches can sometimes be attributed to dehydration, a nutritional deficiency, sports injury, trauma, nerve disorder or a side effect of a particular drug…Learn More
