is The Spine Center? | The
Spine Center at Riverhills offers comprehensive treatment for the patient with
back and neck problems, from diagnosis, conservative treatment, including newer
surgical spine reconstruction techniques through rehabilitation.
The
key to successful treatment is proper diagnosis. Our Physical Therapy and Disc
Decompression services often eliminate the need for invasive surgery, but if surgery
is determined to be the right course of action, our surgeons have extensive experience
in surgical treatment and reconstruction of the spine. | | There
is no other facility in the area that provides all phases of the diagnostic and
treatment modalities necessary for the complete treatment of the patient with
spine problems. | | | | |

Many times our physicians
may determine that surgery is not an appropriate option for a patient. However,
patients who suffer from lower back pain, neck pain, spinal stenosis, herniated
disc, or show symptoms of sciatica frequently need treatment to ensure they are
well again and can increase their quality of life.
Disc Decompression
is a non-invasive, conservative treatment offered by Dr. Ron Fudala, a Board Certified
Chiropractic
Neurologist, and his support staff, that is proven effective to correct underlying
problems, not just remove the symptoms.
Patient
may require a number of visits or sessions and may require additional mobilization
and strengthening exercises, which can be provided through our Physical
Therapy department.

Therapy | |
| | | Physical
Therapy is the use of exercises, modalities, and manual techniques to help develop,
restore, and/or maintain appropriate strength of tissues and alignment of body
parts; thereby allowing people to move correctly and with less pain. Physical
Therapy looks not only at the affected body part but how that disability impacts
the rest of the person's life and functional activity.
Treatment of neurological
conditions is typically based upon exercises to restore motor function through
attempting to overcome motor deficits and improve motor patterns.
Physical
Therapy is sometimes used to treat a patient instead of surgery or as part of
a patient's post surgery rehabilitation. |
