Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy can help with acute and chronic neck and back pain resulting from a variety of diagnoses. Types of conditions include, but are not limited to:

Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve and its branches–from your back down your buttock and leg. Most common cause of this pain is tightness in your posterior hip muscles.

Stenosis
This is a narrowing of one or more areas in your spine. This narrowing puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves that exit the spinal cord. Depending on which nerves are irritated, spinal stenosis can cause pain and numbness in your legs, back, neck or arms; limb weakness and poor coordination; loss of sensation and possibly problems with bowel or bladder function. Pain is not always present.

TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders cause pain and tenderess in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)–the joint at which your lower jaw bone meets your skull. Symptoms may be present with jaw movements associated with eating, yawn and even speaking.

Herniated Disc
A herniated disc generally occurs in the neck or lower back region. A small central portion of the disc in the ` spine bulges or pushes out into the spinal canal. This can irritate a nerve resulting in pain, numbness or weakness in the arms or legs.

Whiplash
This is a neck injury that can occur during rear-end automobile collisions. When your head suddenly moves backward then forward. These extreme motions strain your neck muscles.

"I had reached the point where my shoulder was frozen in place, I just couldn't move without pain. It was a relief to me to have my doctor recommend therapy over surgery. At Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy I recieved Ultrasound, deep heating sessions in combination with joint loosening and strengthening on a machine. Within 4-weeks I had felt better than I had in years"

"Playing high school football can be fun, but getting tackled and breaking your leg with ligament damage is not. After the cast came off, I had some pretty intensive physical therapy sessions at Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy. Now my leg is stronger than ever and I'm playing basketball without worry. The therapist taught me stretching exercises to use before each game to prevent another injury."

"For years I competed in golf at a pretty high level, but as I aged I began to notice some loss of flexibility and range of motion effecting my game. With the help of NRIPT I began a stretching program that enabled me to get my game to where I want it!

"My busy schedule wouldn't tolerate a stiff neck preventing me from driving. I wasn't able to turn my head left or right without pain. My Doctor recommended physical therapy instead of other more invasive treatments. The therapy plan developed by the staff at Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy worked out the kinks. Driving my grandkids around isn't a pain in the neck anymore."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are all wonderful! Thanks to all of you for being so caring, thoughtful and understanding. You all go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is well taken care of"

"Many thanks for the great treatments over the recent weeks. From my initial visit, it was immediately obvious that it was staffed by personnel who were truly concerned with the welfare of their customers. In addition, from the moment you enter the facility, everyone else you encounter is equally pleasant and friendly. I never regarded my visits to the center as anything but positive. I will wear my [graduation] t-shirt with pleasure as it will remind me of your care."

Just wanted to thank your entire staff for all you do. Every aspect of your business is impeccable! Having been disabled since 1979, I have experience with physical therapy. You ALL are the absolute best, miles ahead of any therapy I've ever had. So very grateful for my progress and for the lifestyle progam implemented by Northern RI Physical Therapy.
