Chronic pain is a major issue in the US and growing at a faster rate than other conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and depression. Here in the US, 24% of the population lives with chronic pain, 8.5% experiencing high-impact chronic pain that restricts daily actives (CDC data from 2023).

Chronic pain is defined as pain that is experienced on most days or every day in the past 3 months.

Chronic pain rates are higher in women, older adults, veterans, lower income or rural areas.

The most common reported areas of chronic pain are the back, hip, knee, or foot.

If you or someone you know suffer from chronic pain, please give our clinic a call at 724-841-0700. We want to help you get back to baseline.

Let's have more days with less pain and get back to what we love doing!!

Can you guess what the most common cause of back pain this time of year is caused by?

If you guessed shoveling snow you are right! Shoveling snow is one of the most common causes of winter back injuries — but a few simple body mechanic tips can make a big difference. With more pending snow at the end of the week, we wanted to provide some tips to protect your back when shoveling.

🧊 Warm up before you shovel
🧊 Bend at your hips and knees, not your back
🧊 Keep the shovel close to your body
🧊 Avoid twisting — step with your feet instead
🧊 Take breaks and pace yourself

If you feel back pain during or after shoveling, don’t ignore it. Physical therapy can help you recover safely and prevent it from turning into a bigger problem.

📞 Call 724-841-0700

Shovel smart. Move better. Stay pain-free this winter.

Postural syndrome and poor ergonomics can greatly affect how we live our day to day lives. Since the rise of electronics in the 90s and 2000s, postural related problems have become more prevalent. Neck, upper or lower back pain, shoulder pain, frequent headaches, and occasionally pain that travels down the arms or legs. Sometimes these problems can cause numbness and tingling and even mimic carpal tunnel syndrome. So, how do we fix this? We can start with making small but impactful adjustments in the workplace if you frequently work at a desk for long periods of time.
Chair height- make sure the feet rest gently on the ground and your hips and knees are both at 90 degrees. You also want to have good lumbar support. Make sure your chair has either good lumbar support or try using a lumbar roll.
You also want your elbow position to be at 90 degrees.
If you use a mouse, make sure your wrist is relaxed and not extended.
The height of the top of the computer screen should be at eye level. This helps ensure the head and neck are in the best position to limit some of those head, neck, and should issues.
Make these small adjustments at work and let us know if your symptoms subside. If not, it may be time to contact us for a more in-depth evaluation!

Let's talk about time. We live in a world where we have answers and results with the click of a button. When it comes to physical therapy, there is not always a perfectly set timetable. Two people with the same injury can take different amounts of time to heal and recover. The only expectation a new patient to physical therapy should have is to come into the clinic and work hard towards their goals. It can take 4-6 weeks for new muscle to even begin development, and for older adults it can take longer. Many individual factors play a role like genetics, diet, sleep, training intensity, and consistency. Give your body the time it needs to heal, and give your therapist the time to help you reach your goals. If you want a therapist who will listen to you and give you the time you need to heal, give us a call at 724-841-0700. We pride ourselves on listening to the patient and allowing their body the time it needs to recover.

October is Physical Therapy Awareness Month! Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition, or just want to move better, physical therapy (PT) helps people live fuller, less painful lives. Here are 6 ways PT makes a difference -- backed by strong research:

1. Reduces pain without relying on drugs. PT uses targeted exercise, manual therapy and education to lower pain and improve function -- a safe alternative or complement to medications.

2. Restores mobility and day-to-day function. After injuries and surgeries (like knee replacements) rehab programs help people regain range of motion, strength, and independence faster.

3. Prevents falls and keeps people independent balance and strength programs delivered by PT. Reduce fall rates in older adults -- meaning fewer injuries and more confidence moving around.

4. Improves outcomes for chronic conditions (eg. COPD). Pulmonary rehabilitation and exercise - based rehab improve walking distance, breathlessness, and quality of life for people with chronic lung disease.

5. Speeds recovery and return to activity. Prehab and guided post-op rehab often lead to better pain control and faster return to work/sports than unsupervised care.

6. Helps reduce opioid exposure. Early access to PT and non-pharmacologic pain care is associated with lower opioid prescriptions for musculoskeletal pain.

PT is about restoring life, not just fixing symptoms. Talk to a licensed PT about safe, personalized options for your goals
