- One of the key features that sets SpineNevada apart from other clinics that treat back and neck pain is its spine-specialized therapy department. Patients will be connected with a spine therapist who has advanced training in techniques for spine. The only way to permanently relieve pain involves changing the physiology of the back by using exercise to make it stronger, more flexible and resistant to injury. While a general physical therapist may spend weeks attempting to mask pain using heat, ice or ultrasound, research has shown that using these passive treatments is not the best way to return someone to activity efficiently. This general physical therapist often sees a wide variety of patients each day who suffer problems related to sore elbows, knees or shoulders. General physical therapists typically have a very limited understanding of the best ways to treat specific types of back problems. At best, they may have taken a couple courses on therapy for a back or neck injury. Instead of receiving a general treatment approach, at SpineNevada, your therapist specializes in treating back and neck pain. These therapists have advanced, hands-on skills that can help relieve your pain and get your injured muscles, tissues and spinal structures moving again. Instead of a single school of thought, patients can access specialists with a variety of skills who can match the best treatments to your particular problem.

General Info
Just as the trend in medicine is for physicians to subspecialize in knees, or arm, or joint replacement, the exact same thing is happening in the area of physical therapy. Thats good news for patients. Just as the first step for a physician is to receive his MD degree, the first step for a physical therapist is to become a licensed physical therapist. Most orthopedic centers and therapy clinics will have licensed physical therapists who split their time among patients with knee pain, hip problems, shoulder pain, hand problems, ankle problems and foot problems. Experts have found, however, that back and neck problems can be stubborn to treat and may not respond to general techniques learned in therapy school. Worse, what often happens is that when generalized therapy fails to relieve symptoms, the patient has to resort to spine surgery. Consequently, those therapists who spend 100% of their time with spine patients learn early on that they need advanced training to help patients recover from back and neck pain nonsurgically. The better the spine training, the more often the back or neck pain sufferer will be able to recover without having to resort to spine surgery. SpineNevada physical therapy is directed by a therapist with advanced training in spine therapy, which is regarded worldwide as one of the most effective, spine-specialized therapy techniques.
