Musculoskeletal Center
For persons with
pain, weakness, or dysfunction in the bones, joints, connective
tissue, neurologic or vascular systems.
Very simply, the human body was meant to move. Whenever movement
is lost due to illness, injury or life events, the result is pain
and decreased or lost function. As anyone who has endured a 2 hour
meeting, plane flight or car ride knows – the body needs to move to feel well.
Understanding how to work within this physiology is critical to
musculoskeletal health.
This clinic is for people who have problems with their muscles,
bones, joints, vascular system or nerves. The problem may be pain,
weakness, poor control, stiffness, change in sensation (feeling) of
part of the body or any other symptoms in these body systems. The
body possesses an amazing ability to heal itself when biomechanical
problems are corrected. The body is a constantly moving system, and
pain and disability result when movement is stopped or altered due
to injury. Our goal is to actively involve our patients in
understanding their own kinesiology so that they can learn how to
correct it, and live without pain.
It is extremely helpful when our patients are prepared for the
clinic visit, and come in with their completed paperwork, old
records, x-rays, braces, orthotics and anything else which
might be useful.
