The low back is the most commonly injured area of the body. Injuries to the spine can be disabling and very painful. Our staff is trained in the McKenzie Method of assessment and treatment of all areas of the spine including the neck, back, and related extremity pain.
The McKenzie Method is an active patient treatment philosophy that utilizes posture and exercise to provide you with relief from pain. The method allows the patient control over his/her disorder through education and practice in lifelong pain management skills. Many studies have demonstrated the superior effectiveness of the McKenzie approach in relieving discomfort from common spine and extremity disorders.
Physical Therapist, Richard Kokinda, PT, Cert MDT, is certified in McKenzie assessment and treatment principles. Rich will perform a thorough McKenzie evaluation based on the patient's diagnosis and instruct the patient in methods of home management that will supplement their clinical treatment. |
