Lux Physical Therapy and Functional Medicine

Lux Physical Therapy and Functional Medicine We help patients manage and treat pain, injury and chronic illness. Lux Physical Therapy and Functional Medicine is a unique rehab and chronic illness practice.

We find the root cause, whether you are a physical therapy or functional medicine patient. For PT, we implement research based protocols that focus on reducing pain associated with injury and poor movement patterns. We will find the root cause of your pain, treat that cause, and teach you how to prevent this injury from reoccurring. We treat any and all injuries. We use many forms of manual therapy such as: Active release technique (ART), Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Joint Mobilizations and Manipulations, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), Myofascial Decompression (cupping), and Kinesiotaping. We will also teach you how to utilize the correct postural and movement adjustments, breathing patterns, and corrective exercises to help you perform optimally and pain-free. Our goal is to get you back to doing what you love to do, as fast as possible! Regarding, functional medicine patients- people usually come across the practice of Functional Medicine when they have seen multiple doctors, tried multiple medications/supplements and still feel sick. Dr. Wickham provides in-depth chronic illness root cause analyses, intelligently-designed supportive supplement protocols, diagnostic testing recommendations and lifestyle guidance to support your body's functioning and heal naturally. He partners with your care team as needed. We look forward to working with you!

Food is medicine! As you change your food choices, your taste palate changes. After a while, when you go back to your “old foods,” you may find they aren’t as tasty (or nourishing) after all!

Start slow with small changes and if you “relapse” into old food habits, it’s not a failure! Just try again 😃 education and motivation is key. We are here to help, reach out if we can be of service 🙌

Need a second opinion?

Want to approach physical therapy or chronic health symptoms the comprehensive, root cause, natural way?

Reach out if we could be of service.

Most of my patient visits lately have been via telemedicine, and involved motivated patients that are either seeking to achieve elite performance goals, preventing future illness or have chronic health symptoms (ie. Fatigue, hormone imbalance etc).

We are going to be redesigning and enhancing our digital presence, and expanding our offerings once again, now with more case reports and info than ever before. Here we go 🚀

More 💩 talk: your 💩 should be consistency of a banana. If it’s to hard or too soft.. somethings off. Remember, you must go once a day, or twice a day optimally, to excrete toxins.

The frequency and consistency of your bowels is a big clue to your microbiome and GI health.

You should be using the bathroom 💩 at least once a day. Twice is actually optimal.

As you take supplements and binders, excretion is paramount to get rid of toxins.

If you aren’t going once a day, let’s talk to figure out root cause and how to get you there.

The immune system is at the center of our health.

Everyone has toxins, viruses, bacteria and parasites.

The question is how much and can your immune system handle it.

Nourish yourself.

and are expected as you go through a healing journey to build up your immune system response to chronic conditions. This is a good time to do a muscle test as toxins, bacteria, viruses and parasites in your system are brought to the surface.

Remember to make time for and baths. Keep your lymph moving with dry brushing. Eat a gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet. Use red light therapy and PEMF modalities to help eliminate old and damaged cells.

Nourishment helps ease the inflammation in the body.

It gets better!

I recently had a visit with a patient that saw 7 other MDs about his condition before finally scheduling with me as a Functional Medicine practitioner.

He was pounded with antibiotics for his Lyme disease, and taking prescription medications for his diagnosed depression and fibromyalgia. He was also living in a home with a history of water damage and mold.

He felt that he wasted time because nothing was helping. He felt betrayed by the system. He didn’t want to keep living a dependent life on pills.

Part of being a Functional Medicine practitioner is coaching patients through their difficulties, and partnering with a multi disciplinary care team that gets you help that you need to be present and healthy in your life.

A big part of the natural healing journey and “righting the ship” is acknowledging that a change is needed. We all have things we are working on in our integration.

Reach out to us at Lux Physical Therapy and Functional Medicine if you are ready for a change.

I have been a coach and a doctor for many people throughout my 10 years of practice.

The people who truly heal are those that go through the journey knowing it won’t be easy, but hold space for it.

Hold space.
For yourself and your healing.

Speak up and take control of your health care.

If you are a patient with a chronic condition and feel sick, and your first interaction with a doctor includes prescribing medication or recommending surgery.. I would recommend also seeking out the opinion of a functional medicine practitioner.

Read the signs. Educate yourself. Choose and learn how to naturally heal.
