Sherman Oaks & Los Angeles Reinjury Prevention

Category : Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

Symptoms of pain are our body’s way of communicating with us when enough has transpired internally to overwhelm the natural healing mechanisms that we possess. In providing a comprehensive treatment plan, the intervention (injection, for example) is only the short-term solution to the problem. It is equally vital to investigate what led to the development of symptoms. Even during a known injury event, there may have been underlying weakness, stiffness or microinstability which impacted one’s biomechanics to the point where there has been an increased risk of injury. Once the immediate symptoms are addressed, we will investigate patterns of gait (walking), posture, tasks, activities, and sports or exercise-specific positions which may warrant adjustments in order to optimize your body’s mechanics to minimize the risk of recurrence of symptoms.
