Rehabilitation

Sports and Everyday Injuries

When patients get injured during athletic activities (running, climbing, martial arts, weightlifting, cycling etc..), there are often underlying compensations and less-than-perfect motor patterns involved. At Northcenter Healthcare, we utilize functional rehabilitation in the form of DNS (dynamic neuromuscular rehabilitation) to help assess and restore proper motor control, thereby helping patients to heal from and prevent injuries. Once injuries have resolved, we continue to focus on maximizing performance and improving on movement dysfunctions that may be preventing you from performing at your peak in a given activity or sport.

The goal is always the same — rehab to train, train to move well, move well to excel in the things you love!

Prenatal and Postpartum Exercise

Pregnancy and giving birth are beautiful, and physically preparing for these times in one’s life can be extremely beneficial to reduce complications during and post-pregnancy.

Postpartum rehabilitation is particularly important since giving birth can be extremely taxing on the body. During the process of pregnancy and childbirth, we occasionally encounter complications like diastasis recti or uterine prolapse, and at Northcenter Healthcare, we can help to retrain your body to recover from those conditions and more.

In addition, we can help to ensure that you don’t develop any functional compensations after giving birth, including while you transition back to finding your home in your body.

MDT for Bulging Discs and More!

The McKenzie method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy is a system that addresses the complete assessment, classification, treatment, and prevention of spinal and extremity pain syndromes.

The way that your symptoms and range of movement changes with prescribed multi-range repeated movements provides the clinician with information that they can use to categorize your problem, and subsequently treat with appropriate end-range loading exercises.

These exercises are utilized with the goal of restoring full range of motion and joint mobility, reducing pain due to joint decentralization, and decreasing radiating symptoms (often seen in conditions such as sciatica, disc herniation, disc bulging, and nerve entrapment).
