Frequently Asked Questions

Below is a collection of the common questions patients have before coming in.

What’s the main cause of neck and back pain?

Poor sitting posture and repeated bending are usually the underlying cause.

What about car or work related accidents?

Motor vehicle accidents are 35% of the causes of spinal injuries and this occur due to trauma that compresses, stretches or displace ligaments and/or discs in the spine. However during my clinical experience working with patients who had work-related or MVA injuries to the spine have a combination of bad posture in addition to the trauma that is caused by the accident.

I tried physical therapy and other treatments before but I still have spinal pain, what should I do?

A lot of non­invasive treatment is offered to treat lower back and spinal pain like spinal manipulation/adjustments, Ultrasound and electrical therapy, those kinds of treatments are helpful and effective for the short term but they don’t treat the underlying causes of the problem. ”Real rehab” offer the treatments that address the underlying causes through using different manual therapy techniques and postural education which offers permanent treatment solution.

Are the disc herniation’s and bulges fixed by physical therapy?

The good news is yes! it gets fixed through the effective treatments are the ones that relies on patient education, changing patient’s bad postural habits, correcting the muscle imbalances and spinal alignments.

Is weather the cause of my pain?

Weather is blamed for many things even the expression “under the weather” is derived from this notion, cold or damp weather may increase discomfort or pain but it's certainly not the cause of symptoms you’re experiencing.

Why do I get recurring episodes of low back or neck pain?

The recurring pain is usually a mechanical pain which means over stretching and stressing of the ligaments and joints which is manifested in muscle tightness, joint stiffness and pain.

Do I need to stop exercising or being active when the pain hits?

With the methods used by real rehab solutions designed for you individually so you can regain exercise as soon as the pain permits.

When can I resume exercise and recreational jogging, running, tennis, lift weights, etc.?

Permanent abandonment of recreational activity is usually not advised but some modifications in exercises and integration of the prescribed therapeutic exercises is always recommended.

How do therapeutic exercises help me?

Therapeutic Exercises recommended for your condition by the physical therapist helps with alleviating pain, joint stiffness, establish good posture and promote general wellness for long term results.
