  • 4 Running Postures that Cause Back Pain

    If you suffer from back pain when you run, your path to recovery can be simple. The fixes to stop back pain tend to be very basic movements that target fundamentals. I typically prescribe 2-3 exercises and, combined with my manual therapy, I get people pain-free in 1 week. But the more important...

  • 5 Ways to Stop Tendon Pain Fast (hint, rest isn’t one of them)

    1) Hurt = HarmDid you experience some major accident or fall? If you push on the painful spot, does it cause excruciating pain, enough to make you yell out loud or wince sharply? Can you walk 4 steps? Can you place all your weight onto the injured area (like standing on one leg, or doing a push-up)?...

  • Improve Running Posture and Prevent Back Pain

    Think back to those days when you were in middle or high school, in your gym class, or before your sports practice, what was the first thing you did before class? A group stretch, right? And if you ask around, usually people will tell you stretching is important to prevent injury and to get your...

  • How long are you on bed rest after a hip replacement?

    Only until your anesthesia and nerve block wear off. Once you have full control and feeling in your leg you should be up and moving out of bed. READ MORE

  • If I sprained my Achilles tendon, will it likely tear in the future?

    Yes, your chances of re-injury go dramatically up. But your achilles tendon is not easily injured. You more than likely strained your muscle but it would be worth getting this evaluated to confirm. READ MORE

  • Can I get a six pack through diet alone?

    Yes and No. Any weight-loss program is primarily based on nutrition, not necessarily a "diet." A "diet" is something you do temporarily, whereas nutrition, especially with the goal of weight-loss, is a lifestyle commitment and change. I highly recommend a plant-based nutrition plan. Exercise is just a good way to burn excessive calorie consumption. For effective, lasting weight loss you need 3 elements: Nutrition, Exercise, and Sleep. READ MORE

  • Severe biceps pain?

    You should have this evaluated by a board-certified physical therapist. It's never a good sign If the pain is high and getting worse. READ MORE

  • How often should I drink water while playing sports?

    This is highly dependent on a variety of factors: your current health, your nutrition, the weather, the clothing you're wearing, etc. The easy solution is to drink throughout and especially if you feel thirsty. If you find yourself feeling thirsty towards the end of the game, you're not drinking enough water. READ MORE

  • Can CBD oil help with muscle strain?

    Currently there is no high value research to support or debunk the notion that CBD oil will help. Anecdotally, I've seen it help some athletes but it appears to be more of a placebo effect then actual cellular benefits. READ MORE

  • Should I put my son in football?

    A majority of the research that has been published is that football can lead to brain injuries (aka concussions, which are a fancy, new term to make the injury sound less then what it is). I would not recommend football play but also keep in mind other sports can be just as risky. Cheerleading and soccer tend to have higher rates of brain injuries than football. You have to weight the risks vs benefits of playing a particular sport, but there are many sports out there that provide a good source of development and exercise that don't have such high rates of brain injuries. Tennis, baseball, track and field come to mind... READ MORE

  • Can you still be injured without having pain?

    Yes, there are many structures in the knee that don't have a good nervous supply. If you are experiencing swelling, warmth, etc. you may have injured something. READ MORE

  • Did my son pull or tear a leg muscle?

    It depends on several factors: how did the injury occur, what makes the pain worse, what makes the pain better, and how much pain is there in the region? The best thing is to go and get it checked out. Pediatric injuries can impact growth and development so you don't want to take injuries lightly. Plus, minor injuries are rare in pediatrics and if he is in that much discomfort, he may have hurt himself more than you think. Find a great sports physical therapist and/or physician to get him evaluated. READ MORE

  • I have pulled my muscle from running. Will a hot shower help?

    If you know it is just a pulled muscle than you should actually try a warm epsom salt bath but if your have severe pain you want to get that looked at because it could be something more like a tear or possibly a separation. Find a good sports and ortho DPT (doctor of physical therapy) to get your movement analyzed and pain evaluated. READ MORE

  • Heart pain during and after exercise?

    Your heart rate is not typical for someone your age. 175 bpm is more typical of an intense workout and if you are getting that high with low level you should see your PCP and get a stress test done. If you've contracted COVID, even if it was 2 years ago, your heart rate could be elevated like this as well. You may also have an undiagnosed congenital heart condition. So please see your MD or DPT to have your cardiovascular system evaluated. READ MORE

  • Should I start physical therapy after knee surgery?

    Absolutely. Walking and sitting and standing from a chair are what you need post op day 0 (POD0), meaning once the anesthesia and nerve block has left your system, get moving. Try to get as much flexibility in your knee now and work on getting strength later. You should have a physical therapist visit you at your home for the first week. After the first week you should really try and get to an outpatient physical therapy clinic. READ MORE

  • Will spine pain go away on its own?

    Unfortunately, no. Back or spine pain rarely goes away on its own. In fact, if left alone it typically gets worse. You may have a slight regression in pain with rest but it will come back. The best option is to start a low intensity exercise program consisting of walking, core conditioning, and behavior modification. See a board certified physical therapist for some help and guidance. There are really good exercises that can help speed the healing process and take away your pain faster. READ MORE

  • Does acupressure help nerve pain?

    No. Acupressure works by stimulating your sensory nervous system. Pain in the neck or cervical spine tends to be more involved and will need more to help alleviate. Dry needling tends to help a lot especially in the initial phases but you want to start doing some low intensity exercises mixed with deep neck flexor (DNF) core conditioning exercises. Find a board certified, physical therapist to help. READ MORE

  • What is the home remedy for ankle pain?

    The simple answer is low intensity, high repetition movement. There are a few other things you may want to get checked out to make sure aren't the cause of the problem (like a DVT, or torn ligaments). Best to make an appointment with a board certified, physical therapist. READ MORE

  • How many acupuncture sessions are needed for tennis elbow?

    Zero. Acupuncture has shown to have little to no lasting effect for tennis elbow. Most research demonstrates poor postural control and over-use are the main causes of "tennis elbow." Tennis elbow is typically a nerve tension issue and could be the result of problems higher up the chain (i.e. cervical spine). The best advice would be to rest it for a couple of days and schedule an appointment to see a board certified, physical therapist. READ MORE

  • My son has dislocated his shoulder twice from playing baseball. Will this have an effect on him in the future?

    In the short answer, Yes he will an increased laxity in the joint capsule and be prone to future dislocations. The good news is this can easily be managed with a good sports and/or orthopedic physical therapist. There a some exercises that can help strengthen the supporting muscles of the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint to help decrease the chances of the shoulder dislocating in the future. There are plenty of exercises online you can look up but know those won't be enough because you will be targeting big, power muscles. You need to dive deeper and strengthen the other supporting muscles as well. Reach out to me and we can do a telehealth visit. READ MORE

Just contact a physical therapist as there are some simple exercises you could do to help further heal your back. READ MORE

  • Is heat good for lower back pain?

    The short answer is no. Heat will provide short term relief but is short lasting and doesn't solve your problem. Movement, like walking, and low intensity exercise is actually best (try the "press up" or "cobra pose"). Try seeing a physical therapist as we are the movement experts in resolving back pain. Contact my office and we can set up a tele-health visit. READ MORE
