Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Neuro-Orthopedic rehabilitation is a unique, modern approach to rehabilitation that seamlessly blends applied functional neuroscience and modern orthopedic rehabilitative methods to achieve faster, more effective, more consistent results.
This unique approach began as a project that was aimed at developing non-invasive solutions to stubborn, treatment resistant post-surgical pain, but developed into a comprehensive system of physical rehabilitation that can be effectively applied to a range of common orthopedic conditions including:
Arm and Shoulder conditions - rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome.
Spinal Conditions- lower back pain, neck pain, spinal stenosis, disc injury.
Hip and Leg problems- IT Band Syndrome, hip arthritis, hip pain, knee pain, runners knee, Achilles tendon pain, plantar fasciitis.
Because this approach addresses the body AND brain, it is also used to rehabilitate those who have suffered from:
Brain Injury – Stroke, Concussion, TBI, Poor Balance, Instability, Frequent Falling
Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilitation differs from other approaches because it addresses the vital relationship between the brain and the body. Based on modern research in neuroscience and rehabilitation, it is based on the concept that musculoskeletal injury associated with pain that lasts a long time after the injury, most often causes changes in the nervous system as well.
This is why many patients fail to respond to conventional physiotherapy and medical measures that only address the injured or painful area. These limited approaches do not address the changes in the nervous system that result from injury.
Our approach treats the body and brain at the same time through use of a range of unique techniques. While some of these techniques look similar to common therapy methods and some look very different, all are NON-invasive.
If you are a chronic pain sufferer or someone who has seen multiple specialists for your injury, then you have likely seen physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, medical physicians, surgeons, and pain specialists as well. You probably noticed that each had their own approach to your problem. You may have found that each of these approaches had some limited benefit, but none completely resolved your problem.
While each approach has its merits, for most people, their chronic pain and injury requires a multi-pronged approach, involving a range of methods rather than one-at-a-time. In fact, in many cases, the process of undergoing therapies one-at-a-time, can actually prolong the recovery and complicate the problem.
For many patients this more complete approach brings the real relief that they have been searching for!
