OVERVIEW

ABOUT SPINAL & DISC REHABILITATION

Spinal and disc rehabilitation is the treatment for patients whose back or neck issues seem to never quite go away. For others, it is a dull ache that lingers after sitting for too long. Others experience sharp pain shooting down the leg when flexing or turning. There is pressure on the neck that makes it difficult to turn the head over the shoulder. At our Tucson clinic, therapists zero in on why the spine is suffering. Weak muscles that fail to offer adequate support. Stiff joints that limit movement. Discs that inflame and bother the nerves. The plan is individual to the patient. Strengthening may be part of it. Stretching may be part. Mobility drills may be part of it. Hands-on therapy may be part. Patients may improve rapidly. Patients may improve slowly. Consistent effort often regains ease in getting around without the fear of pain.

What Are You Experiencing?

You don’t have to have it all figured out by yourself. Most people just know that it hurts, not how to fix it. That’s enough. Fill out this simple form and let us know in your own words how it’s hurting. We’ll take a look and then give you a call in order to take you through what may be happening and how we may be able to help.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain is severe and you cannot manage it, don’t wait. Call 911 or come directly to your local hospital. Attend to the emergency first. When you are in a place of safety and ready, we will have follow-up care and recovery available.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This type of pain will interfere with daily life. Sometimes it’s a sharp, aching type, sometimes it’ll just be a dull sensation. Either way, however, it’s a good idea to pay attention to it. Take note of how it feels, and we can go from there in figuring out what’s going on.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Even tiny aches add up. That sore back, muscle pains, or that pesky hurt you keep postponing do matter and could ruin your day. Let us in on what you’ve noticed, and we’ll collaborate to keep things from escalating.

Answering Your Questions

Which conditions are most often treated using spinal and disc rehab?

The therapy is effective for patients with bulging or herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. A few present to the clinic complaining about stiffness becoming chronic over the years of sitting, and the therapy will reconstruct the motion that the patient feels is lacking.

Does spinal rehab only work for severe pain?

No. Many patients present before the pain gets too intense. Dealing with the issue early may avert its exacerbation and limit the possibility of permanent harm. Mild pain is already an indication that the spine requires care.

What happens during the first few visits?

Early sessions are gentle movement and basic strengthening. This allows therapists to assess the spine’s response and fine-tune the plan. As the body stabilizes and strengthens over the long term, the plan is updated with stronger exercises.

How can rehab help with nerve pain like sciatica?

Therapy minimizes irritability by enhancing movement and decreasing strain near the disc and nerve. Strengthening stabilizing muscles also serves to minimize flare-ups. Patients tend to experience less tingling and greater comfort when participating in daily activities.

Is spinal rehab safe for people with osteoporosis or other conditions?

Yes. Sessions are adapted to comfort level and medical history. Patients whose bones or other conditions are brittle would have therapy tailored to safe strengthening and movement drills. Progression without risk is the goal, and care is adapted at each step.

MODERN MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic." - Josh Adams

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY
