A large portion of people in the U.S. suffer from chronic pain. Fortunately, though, if you're one of them and live in or near Fort Lauderdale, FL, Dr. Darin Bush of Mobility Spine and Sports can offer an integrative approach for long-term relief.
Osteopathic Manipulation
Osteopathic manipulation ensures your joints are in proper alignment, which, in return, promotes function while easing pain and discomfort. And as you continue to use that joint without pain, the movement can help to ward off issues in the future.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma, often shortened to PRP, is a therapy that uses your own plasma mixed with a high concentration of your own platelets. These blood cells contain growth factors that your body needs to heal tissue and help restore it. Ultimately, whenever we perform an interventional injection into the target area, it brings higher amounts of oxygen, collagen, and other similar components to the site for repairing the tissue.
We can actually use PRP for various chronic conditions, including fibromyalgia. When we use it to treat an acute issue, we can slow the progression of a condition from turning chronic or ward it off completely, possibly preventing surgery.
In terms of longevity, the effects of PRP therapy may last up to a year or longer, and this treatment uses a component of your own blood, minimizing your chances of side effects.
Lifestyle Counseling
How you lift and move can have a direct impact on different parts of your body. Prime example: your posture puts stress on different areas of your back and can even affect your neck. We can educate you on how to improve your posture to prevent the problems associated with poor postures.
A practitioner from our practice can teach you how to lift properly to reduce the chances of an injury during the process.
We can provide a number of other recommendations to optimize your body part's function and aid in preventing problems from developing, such as when to use ice to reduce swelling and pain.
Physical Therapy
During a physical therapy treatment in Fort Lauderdale, FL, for chronic pain, our goal is to improve function in the area and help you maintain it for as long as possible through custom-tailored exercises. Through neuromuscular education, we can also help with your pain.
This treatment can help you recover from surgery as much as possible or prevent an injury in the future.
