- Multiple SclerosisBalance deficits can result from physical conditions such as injuries or arthritis in the feet, knees, or hips. Balance problems may also be caused by neurological conditions. Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis, for example, can cause balance loss and nerve injuries from spine disorders or peripheral neuropathies. In some cases, changes in balance are more mental in nature, implying that people’s fear influences how they move.

- UltrasoundOur programs are designed in a holistic manner. When dealing with wrist conditions, we address the entire upper extremity. Stretching and strengthening the neck, shoulder, elbow, and hand are frequently included in our treatment programs. Splinting, bracing, and modalities (such as heat, ice, laser, iontophoresis, or ultrasound) are also commonly used to relieve pain and ensure the best possible outcome.

- SciaticaAre you searching for sciatica relief? Disc herniations frequently cause pressure on the nerve, causing pain and inflammation of the sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatica. Sciatica (also known as lumbar radiculopathy) affects the nerves that exit the lower back and travel down the leg (L4-S3). (Femoral nerve radiculopathy in the front of the leg is far less common.)
- Pinched NerveAlthough sciatica is commonly described as a pinched nerve, the majority of cases are caused by inflammation. A compressed nerve in the lower back is a more serious condition that should be treated as soon as possible.
