Back & Spine Pain Treatment Approach
Penn Medicine | Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Outpatient Therapy’s spine therapists provide evidence based patient-centered care for managing spine disorders. Initial treatment may focus on reducing pain and promoting improved mobility using an individualized assessment. Strengthening exercises promote improved muscle performance and movement patterns to improve function.
Evaluation of posture, ergonomics, and body mechanics during functional tasks are also important aspects of spine care. A customized home exercise program is prescribed to help maintain the gains made during treatment sessions and to promote successful long-term self-management. We strive to provide patients with the most efficient management approach without compromising outcomes.
