Physical therapy is an excellent non-invasive option for pain management and relief treatment. Whether your pain is long-term, chronic, or is related to a recent injury, Orland Park Integrated Health can help you move toward a pain-free life.

Physical therapy is effective in treating sports injuries, osteoporosis-related pain, lower back pain, upper back pain, and joint and soft tissue injuries. Our physical therapists can work with you to create an individual treatment plan consisting of various movements and exercises that, over time, can increase strength, range of motion, and other body mechanics while reducing your pain.

Pain Treatment Options May Include:

  • The McKenzie method: spinal extension exercises that can reduce pain related to compromised disc space in conditions such as a herniated disc, radiculopathy, or degenerative disc disease
  • Core muscle work
  • Low-impact aerobic training
  • Dynamic Lumbar Stabilization: exercises that teach the spine to stay in proper position
  • Trigger point exercises for cervical pain
  • Strengthening exercises
  • Stretching
  • Heat packs to relax muscles and ice packs to reduce inflammation
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS): a form of painless, passive electrotherapy where low-voltage electric currents work with nerve signals to reduce lower back pain
  • Ultrasound: sound waves that deliver deep heat and penetrate into the soft tissues to reduce pain and enhance tissue healing
