Areas of treatment
Spine Rehabilitation
Eighty five percent of the population will experience at least one episode of low back pain in their lifetime. Annually 15-30% of adults experience low back pain of which 80% will seek medical intervention. Accounting for an estimated 15 million office visits per year. Recurrent low back pain within the first year occurs 20-44% and 80% within 10 years. Lifetime recurrence is estimated at 85%.

Trunk Stabilization
Core strength or core stabilization are terms of working the muscles of the abdomen and the back to improve postural alignment. Core strength contributes to proper body mechanics necessary for avoiding back strain that make occur in work, daily chores, recreation or sports.

Shoulder Rehabilitation
The shoulder complex requires coordinated movements to take place at several joints, the rotator cuff, and the scapular stabilizer muscles in order to function properly. The shoulder joint allows for high degrees of mobility which requires dynamic stabilization of the muscular system. Any pathology changes at the joints, it's surrounding soft tissse (labrum, capsule, tendons, bursa) or the movement dysfunctions of the muscular system will result in pain syndromes.

Knee Rehabilitation
The knee joint is a hinge joint that is often strained and injured performing daily tasks or participating in recreational and sporting activities. The injury may cause swelling, pain, loss of range of motion, and loss of strength.

Ankle-Foot Rehabilitation
Ankle sprains comprise 15% of all athletic injuries. The lateral ligamentous complex is most commonly involved in most ankle sprains. Majority of patients fully recovery but 20-30% develop chronic symptoms or instability. The ankle is a hinge joint, deriving its stability from multiple ligaments and bones.

Decompression Therapy
Decompression is the “outcome” of the traction. Decompression therapy differs from traditional traction with the ability to adjust the treatment to multiple settings and patient positions. These settings allow a gradual, gentle ramping up, increasing comfort therefore decreasing muscle guarding and decreasing the necessary traction load to achieve the desired effect. Decompression has been theorized to improve circulation and healing of damaged disc.

ATM2 Neuromuscular Retraining
The ATM2 machine is a neuromuscular re-training device that allows the patient to stabilize the postural faults and move the body segment without producing any pain, thereby reducing the nociceptive input (pain carrying input) to the brain.

The Transverse Abdominis: Its Role in Stabilization of the Back
We use the term “Core Stabilization” when we think of controlling our trunk by contracting our abdominals and back muscles and allowing movement of the limbs while keeping the trunk stable; thus having limbs moving on a stable base. Most people believe that if they perform crunches they will develop strong core muscles.

In the United States, the number of centenarians doubled in the 1980s and again in the 1990s. There are over 70,000 Americans that celebrate the century mark. By 2050 there is projected to be over 800,000 centenarians. There is the same trend in other industrialized countries.
