One of the key features that differentiates North Jersey
Spine Group from other clinics that treat back and neck pain is its
spine-specialized therapy department.
In many unspecialized clinics, a physician will see the
patient, perform an examination, and then refer the back pain sufferer
to a physical therapy clinic all the way across town. This general "evaluate
and treat" prescription for physical therapy is all-too-common.
Often, a general physical therapist will start from scratch by forming
their own evaluation and assessment without knowing what the original
physician found out through diagnostic tests.
This general physical therapist often sees a wide variety
of problems every day, such as patients with sore elbows, knees and
sore shoulders. In most cases, this general therapist has a very limited
understanding of how to treat specific types of back problems. At best,
a general physical therapist has taken a couple courses on how to perform
therapy for a back or neck injury.
A general physical therapist may also rely too heavily
on passive "modalities," such as ice, heat or ultrasound,
to treat back pain. This may not be a good choice, as research has
shown that using these passive treatments is NOT the best way to return
someone to activity efficiently.
How our spine center differs
Instead of sending a patient across town, they will be able to come
directly into our rehab department. They will also be connected with
a spine-specialized therapist who has advanced training in spine.
Rather than starting from scratch, this therapist works off of information
gleaned from the previous physician's evaluation, picking up where
they left off.
What does this mean for you?
Instead of receiving a general treatment approach, your therapist is
specialized in the treatment of back and neck pain. Our therapists
have advanced, hands-on skills that can help relieve your pain and
get your injured muscles, tissues and spinal structures moving again.
Instead of a single school of thought, you get the benefit of being
treated by a specialist with a variety of skills who can choose the
ones that best match your particular problem.
