Schroth Scoliosis Physical Therapy
Report
Scoliosis is the side bending of the spine. The actual bending is away from the natural curvatures of the spine. It can occur from our actual genetic makeup or they can develop over time due to an injury or postural habits. Scoliosis as a diagnosis that affects more females than males and is most progressive in the teenage years as we move into puberty.
MANUAL THERAPY- More Than Massage
Report
Massage is a general term for the rubbing of muscles and joints to reduce tension or pain. A massage can be given by any individual offering their services. We suggest getting a massage from a trained licensed massage therapist (LMT). Do ask for what school your LMT came from as there is not a federally regulated licensure board for LMTs.
Direct Access
Report
Since November of 2006, New York State law allows physical therapists to treat patients without a referral. However, there is the possibility that treatment without a referral may not be covered by the patient's health care plan or insurer. Our staff at Alta PT can review your medical coverage to assess if your insurance covers direct access care.
Arthritis
Report
By definition, a joint is "the point of contact between elements of an animal skeleton with the parts that surround and support" (Merriam Webster). As very general definition arthritis can be defined as joint pain. In reality, arthritis is actually an umbrella of a diagnosis and there are many types of arthritis.
