Musculoskeletal Medicine

Our skilled health-care professionals collaborate to offer treatments and services for a wide range of conditions that result in pain or disability, including special programs for hand therapy and spinal health and rehabilitation.

Musculoskeletal conditions affect your body's muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and nerves. The pain and discomfort associated with these conditions can create limited physical functioning and affect your overall quality of life.

Spinal Health and Rehabilitation Program

Our board-certified spine team looks beyond your diagnosis to understand your individual level of pain and ability to live your life. Our program incorporates evidence-based methods and best practices to develop individualized treatment plans for patients experiencing:

• Cervical (neck) pain
• Degenerative disc disease—discs that cushion the vertebrae wear down due to aging
• Herniated or prolapsed discs—a disc between the vertebrae ruptures and leaks a jelly-like fluid irritates nearby nerves
• Lumbar/sacral (lower back) pain
• Pain from pelvic injury
• Pre- and post-partum back pain
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which can cause pain in the lower back and hip
• Scapular/thoracic (shoulder/mid-back) pain
• Sciatica—a problem with the sciatic nerve that can cause pain or weakness in the lower back, thigh, knee and foot
• Spinal stenosis—a narrowing of the spinal canal
• Whiplash injury from sudden overextension of the neck muscles and ligaments

The spinal program requires a physician referral.

Hand Therapy Program

Our certified hand therapists, occupational and physical therapists, and therapy assistants help you regain range of motion, strength, coordination and function, addressing conditions such as:

• Nerve compression, including carpal tunnel syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome
• Repetitive stress conditions, including tennis elbow, tendonitis and repetitive motion syndrome
• Post-surgical rehab, including carpal tunnel release, fracture repair, tendon repairs and other hand surgeries
• Trauma injuries, such as sprains, joint dislocations and fractures

A physician referral is necessary for hand rehabilitation. We strongly recommend that patients check with their insurance provider regarding coverage.
