Doctors and practitioners are currently experiencing an increase in chronic pain in epidemic proportions. Research shows over 80% of Americans suffer from chronic pain. Many times these chronic issues though real and genuinely painful, often show no anatomic or “physical” findings upon physical examination and diagnostic testing. When patients hear the words “there is nothing more we can do for you”, they are forced to seek Alternative forms of treatments. Chiropractic, Massage, Homeopathy and Energy Medicine are but a few of the choices available.
Faced with this issue, Physical Therapists and practitioners are paying special attention to the nature of the interactions occurring between the mind and the body. Perceptions and attitudes shape our reality. What we think and believe matters immensely and will have a major impact on our physical and mental health. Chronic stress and anxiety create functional disharmony within the body which can lead to pain and illness. Research has shown by eliminating stress and changing ones perceptions to their condition, the body will relax, the immune system will activate, muscle tension will decrease, blood flow will increase to the muscles, and the pain will greatly diminish or vanish. Doctor Sarno, a famous MD and a professor at NYU stated, “You can take 100 middle-aged people with no back or neck pain and do an MRI scan on them, 65% will have slipped disc or spinal stenosis, and No pain”, (New England Journal of Medicine article 1994).
The therapists at WELL AGAIN have researched the alternative arena for years, before finding powerful effective treatment tools to help their patients with acute and chronic pain. They firmly believe that combining both conventional and alternative treatment techniques results in remarkable progress and recovery time with astounding success. Both Veronica Jordan, a doctor of physical therapy and Roseanna Ellis, a physical therapy assistant and licensed alternative practitioner believe in treating their patients with the mind/body theory. They are specialists in the field of sports injuries, chronic pain, TMJ, and Neurological disorders. They have developed a dynamic program offering a variety of leading edge state-of-the-art therapies that deal with the whole person. After a thorough medical history and examination, a treatment plan is implemented that incorporates the following techniques:
3. Active Isolated Stretching (AIS), is a simple yet dynamic way to safely stretch while increasing oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and facilitates the immune system vital for repair and recovery. The results are long lasting and phenomenal. For more information visit www.stretchingusa.com.
4. At Well Again, every involved muscle is targeted, tested, and facilitated to work until it returns to its original healthy state. A thorough strengthening program is implemented to yield balance in all the muscles since every part of the body is interconnected and communicates each other. For example, a patient with TMJ could later suffer from neck, shoulder and spine issues. Through core stabilization, balance training, and coordination exercises a wide array of physical conditions are treated such as: upper and lower extremity injuries, neurological disorders, balance disorders, sport related injuries, and the enhancement of peak performance.
Roseanna Ellis and Veronica Jordan feel blessed that they have learned remarkable techniques to revolutionize the field of Physical Therapy. They believe that every patient should be given the opportunity to achieve their absolute highest healing potential. Well Again was created as a result of patient's complaints of having received inadequate physical therapy and being discouraged with the end results. Upon discharge, patients who complete our program will be equipped with a vast knowledge of self healing techniques that will change the way they view rehabilitation and wellness forever.
