Diagnosis:

The most important question for your doctor to answer is whether or not you are a candidate for care in his or her office. The Doctors at Physio Logic are interested in trying to completely understand your health condition.

In order for us to understand the cause of your pain or injury, a full history will be taken. Injuries can stem from trauma or repetitive stress from many daily activities, such as picking up your child, sitting at your desk, or your form while running. Once we help you determine the root of your pain, we will educate you in proper techniques so you can return to those activities pain-free.

A comprehensive physical examination will follow your consultation. After ruling out conditions that require an immediate medical referral, your doctor will perform an evaluation of your neuromusculoskeletal system (a long word for nerves, muscles, and bones), including orthopedic, neurologic, and biomechanical exams. This may or may not lead to a prescription for diagnostic testing, such as an MRI or X-Ray.

Available on-site diagnostic testing includes x-ray, ultrasound, and neurologic (EMG/NCV) with a full list of specialist referrals.

Active Release Technique®: Activerelease.com

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves, Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fascitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.

These treatment protocols-over 500 specific moves-are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct in specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART is an approach that is customized to meet the individual needs of the patient.

Things as simple as carrying your newborn or laundry, gardening, the height of your bicycle seat, the purse you carry, or your exercise routine can be the root of your symptoms.
