    Disc Disease Solutions is a revolutionary approach in the treatment of lower back and neck pain due to spinal diseases and injuries.

    A unique and patented air traction design sets it apart from all other ambulatory supports. DDS is thin, lightweight and easy to use; it offers a high degree of mobility, alleviating as well as preventing back and neck pain.

    The process is simple: by increasing the intervertebral disc space, pressure applied on the nerve root is relieved, thereby, eliminating pain while assisting active-rehabilitation.  Disc Disease Solutions will speed up your recovery and help you enjoy the daily activities that were once too difficult.

    Acute Pain

    Posted In: Back and Neck Pain, Blog, Pain in the Body by admin
    Definition: Acute is a word used to describe an injury or illness that comes and goes (as opposed to chronic, which is persistent).

    Acute injuries come on quickly, have very definite symptoms which can be quite intense, and heal in a relatively brief period of time.

    Often, and unfortunately, acute injuries to the back or neck can be the precursor to chronic pain.

    Definition: Chronic AKA RECURRENT pain is defined as pain that lasts longer than 3 months. Some experts define it as lasting longer than 6 months.

    Chronic pain is different than acute pain in that it is not easy to find the cause. Diagnosis can reveal no injury in the body at all, and yet the patient can be experiencing very debilitating pain.

    One way that chronic pain begins is from an injury. Scientists have found that repeated pain from an acute injury changes the way the brain lets you know you have pain. Even after the injury has healed, pain messages replay over and over again.

    Definition: A term that may one day replace “chronic pain.” Persistent pain lasts longer than the expected healing time for an injury or illness, or if there is no injury or illness, persists uninterrupted for at least 3 to 6 months. It might also recur in intervals, rather than maintain a continuous presence. But if the intervals continue over a long period of time, it is still considered persistent pain.According to the American Chronic Pain Association, many pain management specialists believe the term “persistent pain” is a more accurate description as it includes information on the way in which the pain might interrupt functioning, well-being and quality of life.

    Orthopedic

    Orthopaedic physical therapists diagnose, manage, and treat disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery. This specialty of physical therapy is most often found in the out-patient clinical setting. Orthopaedic therapists are trained in the treatment of post-operative orthopaedic procedures, fractures, acute sports injuries, arthritis, sprains, strains, back and neck pain, spinal conditions and amputations.

    Joint and spine mobilization/manipulation, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular reeducation, hot/cold packs, and electrical muscle stimulation (e.g., cryotherapy, iontophoresis, electrotherapy) are modalities often used to expedite recovery in the orthopaedic setting. Additionally, an emerging adjunct to diagnosis and treatment is the use of sonography for diagnosis and to guide treatments such as muscle retraining. Those who have suffered injury or disease affecting the muscles, bones, ligaments, or tendons of the body will benefit  from assessment by a physical therapist specialized in orthopaedics.
