Rehabilitation Services

Rehabilitation is the period of healing and the recovery process you undergo if you’ve had a debilitating health condition, a musculoskeletal injury, or a surgical procedure.

At Eckert Chiropractic, P.C., the team has expert skills in rehabilitation so you can regain your mobility, strength, and range of movement. 

You could benefit from undergoing a progressive rehabilitation program at Eckert Chiropractic, P.C. if you have a chronic pain problem or you’ve had injuries such as:

• Fractures (broken bones)
• Ligament tears
• Tendon ruptures
• Meniscal tears
• Joint dislocations
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Joint instability

Some incurable chronic pain problems might require ongoing rehabilitation.

At Eckert Chiropractic, P.C., Dr. Eckert creates an individualized rehabilitation program that reflects the requirements and abilities of each individual patient. 

Physical therapies are the foundation of effective rehabilitation, and yours could include a variety of different treatment approaches, such as:

• Spinal manipulation
• Extremity manipulation
• Electric muscle stimulation
• Cryotherapy
• Superficial heat therapy
• Low-level laser
• Myofascial therapy
• Massage therapy
• Rehabilitation exercises
• Cervical and lumbar traction
• Disc demodulation
• Therapeutic resistance bands
• Kinesio taping
• Pivotal oscillation therapy
• Inversion table therapy
• Home exercises

Rehabilitation under expert supervision can help your injuries heal more quickly and prevent complications like shortened ligaments and frozen shoulder.

If you’re not using your joints, muscles, and connective tissues, they become weak and begin to contract. This causes more pain when you do try and move, and you get caught in a cycle of worsening symptoms leading you to do less, which just makes the problem worse. You could eventually lose the use of your arms or legs if you don’t exercise them.

If you stretch and work muscles and connective tissues and flex your joints, the result is a stronger, healthier body that’s better able to recover from whatever caused your problem. Crucially, however, you need to do the right exercises or you could make your condition worse. This is why you need to do your rehabilitation with Dr. Eckert and his team.

The length of time you need to spend undergoing rehabilitation at Eckert Chiropractic, P.C. varies depending on the cause of your condition, how severely it affects you, and how you progress in your rehabilitation program.

If you have an injury to a muscle or tendon, you might spend several weeks or months doing rehabilitation. In some cases, your rehabilitation might need to be ongoing.

You can help yourself better recover by committing to your rehabilitation program and performing the recommended exercise program at home.
