The“Fit for Life” neck
injury recovery program
If you suffer from:
•
Neck pain
•
Headaches
•
Pain spreading into the upper back or down the arm
•
Neck stiffness and reduced range of motion
•
Muscle weakness in the shoulder, arm or hand
•
Sensory changes (numbness, prickling or tingling) in
the forearm, hand, or fingers
You may have one
of these common causes of neck pain:
Mechanical Neck Pain: This condition
is caused by wear and tear on the parts of the cervical
spine that move, including the discs, facet joints,
ligaments and muscles. The pain may spread from the
neck into the upper back or to the outside of the shoulder.
Mechanical pain does not cause weakness or numbness
in the arm or hand because the problem is not from pressure
on the spinal nerves.
Cervical Radiculopathy:
This is caused by pressure or irritation of the nerves
in the cervical spine. The symptoms include tingling
or numbness on the skin, weakness in the muscles and/or
pain along the path of the nerve. The pressure or irritation
can be caused by herniated or bulging discs, degenerative
discs or thickened ligaments.
Cervical Stenosis: The
spinal canal usually has ample room for the spinal nerves.
This canal has the same diameter as a penny. When the
spinal canal shrinks by more than 33% severe symptoms
of cervical stenosis can occur. This shrinking of the
canal is caused by herniated or degenerating discs,
bone spurs or thickened ligaments. Theses conditions
reduce the space available for the spinal nerves.
Your solution starts
with our
extensive training and experience
The ProFitness “Fit for Life” Neck
Injury Recovery Program is led by some of the most experienced
physical therapists in the region. In fact, over the course of more than two decades, our team has successfully
rehabilitated thousands of neck injury patients using
the most effective tools and
techniques available. But that’s not the best
part.
Your key advantage
is our 100%
focused, one-on-one care
Because our goal is to help every patient achieve a
fast, full and lasting recovery, we are committed to
giving 100% of our expertise and effort to every patient
at all times. This means that your dedicated physical
therapist works one-on-one with you through every minute
of every rehab session – providing expert assessment
and guidance, and constant encouragement and support.
In other rehab facilities, you may not
always work with the same physical therapist, or you
may work with a PT assistant instead. And often, your
therapist may work with several other patients at the
same time. These factors can make it difficult to get
the level of care you need to achieve a full and fast
recovery.
That’s why our rehab care is always
provided ONE therapist to ONE patient. ONE at a time.
EVERY TIME. It’s the ProFitness AdvantageSM. And
it’s what helps us achieve such excellent results.
