Functional Rehabilitation
Functional rehabilitation incorporates clinical lifestyle recommendations, manual treatments and functional exercise regimes to help patients regain normal function of their spine and limbs. Therapy begins by identifying faulty patterns of movement often resulting from poor posture, improper lifting mechanics, fitness training errors or injury. These improper movements will, over time, load certain joints in the body more than others. Early on, the subtle changes in movement or muscle activation can go unnoticed by the patient. However over time, the increased stresses placed on the joints and surrounding soft-tissues can produce pain in muscles or joints and/or cause areas of restricted movement and a loss of proper joint function.
Talk to your doctor of chiropractic to see what else you can do to maintain and improve the health of your bones. Your doctor of chiropractic is a highly trained expert on helping you maintain good health. Studies show chiropractic patients are hospitalized less than the general population. And chiropractic health care ranks number one in patient satisfaction.
