👉If your shoulder still hurts after Physical Therapy it’s usually due to one of two reasons:

1. Your shoulder pain might actually not be coming from your shoulder.
2. You were stuck with the same boring exercises as everyone else with shoulder pain. And they were never progressed to challenge you.

This is all to common with the patients I see.

And I’ve gone through this myself so I know the struggle. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you have shoulder pain and you want to eliminate it by getting to the root cause of problem

DM us “SHOULDER” to schedule a free evaluation.

A lot of patients are confused why they don’t get better after going to physical therapy or other in network providers.

The reason is that your insurance dictates everything about your treatment:
-The amount of sessions
-The time per session
-Who is treating you
-What treatments they can do

“Do you take my insurance?” Shouldn’t be the first question you ask when you are seeking help.

Send me a message if you have struggled with poor quality care within the insurance system!

Vertigo is a symptom.

It’s not a full diagnosis.

If you are suffering from chronic dizziness or vertigo, it’s important to understand where your symptoms are actually coming from so you can treat the root cause of the problem.

DM me “vertigo” if you are looking for answers

Vestibular migraine is a sensory processing issue.

Eliminating as much sensory input as possible is generally the best way I have found to speed up recovery.

Sometimes staring at your phone all day or driving long distances can exacerbate VM and taking a break from all of it to relax and rest in a low stim environment is crucial.

Vestibular Migraine doesn’t always come with a headache, and that’s exactly why it gets overlooked.

It’s not just an inner ear issue, it’s a sensory processing issue that can cause a host of symptoms.

This can be a chronic condition that is debilitating for many people who are left without answers.

If you’ve been feeling dizzy, fatigued, or off balance for months with no clear answer, this might be why.

Follow for more to come on VM and other vestibular disorders!

Not every structure needs surgical repair in order to restore function.

If you’ve been told you need surgery by the doctor who performs outpatient surgery for a living, maybe you should try and find the source of the problem and work on fixing it first.

The MRI never tells the whole story.

You can have damage to the rotator cuff or any other shoulder structure and still regain full function.

If you’re in Wellington, FL and want to rehab your shoulder without having to go through an unnecessary surgery send me a DM and let’s get you better.

Ami came in after having a successful craniotomy to treat a meningioma.

While the surgery was a success, some patients after surgery can develop chronic pain due to sensitization of pain pathways in the head and neck.

After 2 months of NUCCA and functional rehabilitation her neck pain has improved significantly and her headaches are decreasing and relying less on over the counter pain medication. taken in Keystone Chiropractic and Neuroplasticity by @robstokesdc

Burning pain near the shoulder blade isn’t uncommon.

It just often gets treated the wrong way.

You don’t need a longer massage, more adjustments to the middle of your back, or the same generic physical therapy exercises you’ve done 20 times.

You need to attack the pain and correct the source of the problem.

DM us “shoulder” if this sounds like you!

Your shoulder pain might be coming from somewhere else. If you don’t evaluate the spine you aren’t doing a complete evaluation.

If you have been dealing with shoulder pain and haven’t been able to get to the cause of the problem DM us “shoulder” to get set up for a free consultation and exam.

Did you fail physical therapy… or did physical therapy fail you?

If you did your 6-8 weeks, did the exercises, showed up, and your shoulder still isn’t back to normal, that’s not on you.

Most rehab plans are built to get you “pain-free.” Not to get you back to swinging a club, playing pickleball, riding, or lifting the way you used to.

That gap between “pain-free” and “back to 100%” is exactly where I focus.

We don’t stop at symptom relief. We figure out why your shoulder keeps failing under load, and build you back up to the demands of what you actually want to do.

If this sounds like you, drop “SHOULDER” in the comments or send me a DM — let’s talk about what’s actually going on and whether a movement assessment makes sense for you. 💪

Are you sick of dealing with pain?

Are your hobbies not the same due to pain?

Can you not pick your children up because your are scared of what might happen?

A lot of my patients have been recommended to do various things that never worked.

The reason?

No one ever looked to solve the root cause of their problem.

Just quick fixes that didn’t last or surgical recommendations.

If you are looking for something different and want to live pain free…

DM us “Root Cause” for a free discovery visit.
