Shoulder

Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body and you use it every time you reach, lift, push or pull, and even when you write.  With all that activity, it's understandable why shoulder pain is a common complaint. Shoulder problems can be caused by traumatic injury, overuse, or just a lifetime of constant motion. 

Licensed occupational l therapists are trained to sort through all the causes and complicating factors of a painful shoulder.  At Destination Life, we can help you with both acute and chronic shoulder pain beginning with a comprehensive evaluation. This involves looking at your muscle strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and testing your neurological responses. Then we'll provide you with exercises and procedures to reduce pain and increase your strength and ability.

Back

Low Back Pain includes an intricate system of bones (vertebrae), intervertebral discs, nerves, ligaments, muscles and joints which work together to support the weight of the upper body. While most low back pain is due to injury or trauma, pain may also be caused by conditions such as arthritis, disc disease and osteoporosis. 

  • BACK INJURIES

    Back injuries can happen as a result of a fall or a car accident. If your back muscles are already weakened, bending or lifting improperly can also cause a strain or sprain. Lower back pain that happens from injuries is generally sharp, severe pain in the lower back or bottom of the spine immediately after the injury occurs.
