Pain Management
JLSVT BIG ® treatment is used to train people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and certain other neurological conditions to use their body more normally. This therapy can lead to improved fine or gross motor movements such as buttoning clothing or maintaining balance while walking. It can lead to improved mobility, self-care, and other day-to-day tasks by helping those who suffer from PD or other such neurological disorders “recalibrate” their movements. It is customized to help each patient’s specific needs and can help regardless of the stage or severity of they patient’s condition. Our physical therapists and PTAs are all certified in providing LSVT BIG ® treatment.
GPR is a specific physiotherapeutic approach that involves the reproduction of various common positions (including sitting, standing, laying down, etc.) and obtaining a better understanding of body mechanics. It is designed to use muscle chains to investigate the cause of the patient’s physical ailment. GPR aims to lead to long-term learning to prevent relapses, as well as integrate new movements.
GPR can lead to improvements in respiratory muscle strength, chest expansion, pain, urinary incontinence, TMJ disorders, and postural stability. It can be used in patients suffering from muscle stiffness, muscular retractions, pain related to posture, and general or chronic pain. Benefits of GPR include improvement in pain symptoms, improved flexibility and mobility, improved posture, improved body awareness, and recurrence prevention due to long-term learning.

Vertebral compression fractures most often occur in those with osteoporosis. However, car accidents and sports injuries can also leave you with these spinal fractures. As a result, you may be dealing with chronic back pain or you may even hunch over.
Your vertebrae are cushioned by round discs with a protective outer layer. A herniated disc occurs when a fragment of the disc nucleus is pushed out of that outer layer, into the spine.
Dysfunction or inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, or SI joint, can often lead to pelvic or lower back pain. Since so many conditions and injuries can also lead to pain in the pelvis or lower back, it can be a bit difficult to pinpoint when the SI joint could be the cause.
This condition occurs over the years, as a result of constant motion and stress on the spine. This normal wear and tear can lead to deterioration of the discs of the spine, particularly the neck and lower back. This is something that can and often does get worse as we get older.
