Musculoskeletal Strains and Disorders/tendonitis
CORE Physical Therapy in Omaha specialized in the treatment of athletes. Overuse injuries and tendonitis injuries usually lead us to a mechanical issue in running, walking, squatting etc. These tendonitis injuries are compensation injuries generally coming from a source close by. They are typically a result of a weakness or compensation for asymmetrical range of motion or movement. Treating the symptoms is very easy, but rarely really fixes your issue.
Comprehensive testing and movement evaluation is imperative to solving the issue permanently. A full panel of testing and examination can show where the weaknesses are and where the asymmetries arise. This is the CORE difference and vital for future prevention, we leave no stone left un turned.
Motor Vehicle Accidents/MVA
CORE Physical Therapy in Omaha specialized in the treatment of athlete or active individual. In the result of an accident, we also treat muscular and orthopedic injuries. After a traumatic accident, your body and mind go into a protection mode, and it’s important to slowly turn those protection mechanism off to get you moving again.
Once the tissue is healed and movement is restored in a normal range, strengthening can begin. Sports or occupational activity simulation can follow to get you back to your active Omaha lifestyle. We can take you as far as you need to go in order to meet your specific goals.
The Omaha Metro area does not offer a more comprehensive recovery program than CORE Physical Therapy. With its personalized touch, you will notice a big difference compared to any other clinic.
Neck and Shoulder pain.
CORE Physical Therapy in Omaha specialized in the treatment of athlete or active individual. No case is too big or too small for us to take on. Neck pain, cervical tightness, and postural disorders can arise from various sources.
Accidents and falls are the most common, but posture and sleeping issue can also start or compound the symptoms. Gradually, we can correct the compensation patterns in the body, and restore you to the best version of yourself. As the motion and strength is built, the pain will subside.
Stability in the CORE and neck region will help to maintain a good posture for sitting and standing in work related situations, and will also serve as preventative maintenance as well.
Neurological Injuries, parathesia, nerve damage/weakness
As a result of an accident, surgery, or disorder, nerve and movement disorders involving nerve issues can be very frustrating and painful. Burning, tingling and heavy-ness can result with little relief from outside modalities or medication.
Finding the source of nerve entrapment can help to alleviate the secondary symptoms of burning and electrical type pain. Movement impairments can also result and muscle atrophy can occur if neurological symptoms are left alone to fester for too long.
We can fix the mojority of these issues and avoid surgery to the nervous systems and spine. In cases where the damage and impingement are too severe, we often work with back and neck surgeries post operatively to ensure proper return to all previous life activities without deficits.
