Our expertise is the diagnosis and treatment of joint, muscle, and nerve disorders with the goal of getting you back to the activities which you love to do. This is done by providing conservative care along with education about your condition so you have self-treatment options if you should have a flare-up in the future.
At Shaw Spine & Sport we utilize clinically proven treatments with a goal of relieving pain and other symptoms and restoring function. We expect painful symptoms to lessen within 4 – 6 visits. Further treatment to improve function and strength will always be discussed.
No. Though it may require several visits in the beginning of treatment, our treatment plans are designed to educate and empower you so they do not become dependent on passive care strategies.
No. Just as is every injury unique, so is every patient. Manipulation is appropriate in some instances but is absolutely not essential. Your doctor will discuss treatment options and with you will agree on an acceptable treatment strategy.
Yes. Pain, tingling, and or numbness extending into the arms or legs may be from a nerve being irritated or pinched. We first identify what nerve is being irritated and where the entrapment of the nerve is originating from. Treatment is designed on centralizing the radicular pain, and restoring joint and muscle biomechanics.
If there is no history of an injury occurrence and there are no “red flags” found in the examination, then additional imaging most likely will not be needed. X-rays are not necessary for you to begin treatment.
We pride ourselves in working in conjunction with the referring doctor and sending the patient back to them. If you need further treatment that is outside of our scope we will make the necessary referral.
