At Physicians’ Diagnostics & Rehabilitation (PDR), we specialize in the treatment of persistent neck and back pain.  The treatment of recent onset back pain is completely different than for persistent or recurrent back pain.  Therapy for chronic back pain (pain lasting longer than two months) differs greatly from traditional physical therapy (e.g. ultrasound, massage, muscle stimulation, hot packs, traction) for back pain of recent onset.  In patients with chronic back pain, muscular weakness and loss of flexibility must first be addressed before meaningful changes can be made.  At PDR, we utilize an active exercise approach in a fun, safe and effective manner in order to achieve functional gains.  Rather than a temporary “fix”, our programs offer long term changes and benefits by allowing you to safely work at higher intensity levels, resulting in the remodeling of muscle tissue.

At PDR, we utilize treatment approaches that have been proven to be effective in treating ongoing or persistent back pain, with literally hundreds of scientific articles to support our approach.

We are in the business to improve our patient’s quality of life, not just provide a medical service. Our providers don’t just treat patients, but more importantly, we build relationships, while viewing every patient as a new opportunity for greatness.
