WHAT WE TREAT 

At Mt Pleasant Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of Thornwood, Pleasantville, and Armonk, NY, we provide hands-on care to restore functionality and eliminate pain. The following are just some of the conditions we treat with physical therapy or other methods. If you’re suffering from any of these, please contact us immediately to schedule an appointment.

HERNIATED DISCS AND PINCHED NERVES

A herniated disc can cause a little or a lot of pain, depending on the location of the injury. Nerves receive pressure from the disc, which can cause radiating pain or numbness. Nonsurgical treatments include spinal decompression, flexion distraction, physical therapy, and trigger point injections.
NECK AND BACK PAIN
Neck and back pain can result from all kinds of conditions or habits, from sleeping habits to herniated discs to arthritis. Furthermore, neck and back pain is a common ailment. Sometimes an MRI or X-ray may be needed to correctly diagnose the source of your pain. Common treatments include medical services, chiropractic services, and physical therapy.

JOINT AND MUSCLE PAIN
Whether your case of joint and muscle pain is acute or chronic, we can determine the source of the problem and offer a customized set of treatment options to help you heal. Joint and muscle pain is a common result of sports injuries. Treatment options include exercise, physical therapy, Supartz, and cortisone injections for serious cases. 
HEADACHES 
A headache may not seem like a serious condition, but severe headaches are often accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, blurry vision, difficulty walking and sleeping, and confusion. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we can help determine the cause and provide immediate treatment. 
WHIPLASH AUTO/WORK INJURIES
Many people assume they’re okay after an auto accident if they don’t have any broken bones. Unfortunately, internal soft tissue injuries like whiplash can show up later and get worse over time. Having back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more after an accident can mean you have whiplash. Our licensed medical professionals can help treat any soft tissue injury you have. 
CHRONIC PAIN
It’s natural to feel like you’re in a hopeless situation if you suffer from chronic pain. Some of your friends and family members may think you are embellishing things, and it seems that no treatment or medication is doing anything to curb the pain. You may become less physically active when in constant pain. This in turn can lead to social isolation and feelings of loneliness. Internet support groups have helped bring together people suffering from chronic pain, so at least there’s more social support and understanding available now. But isolation is one of the many reasons chronic pain can lead to depression. It can also cause insomnia. Reach out to our physical therapy experts to learn more about this.

Chronic pain is often caused by anatomical problems that cannot always be diagnosed using standard medical tests. Science and medicine are constantly expanding, and therefore are still trying to fully comprehend both pain generators and pain levels. 

Mt Pleasant Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation aims to diagnose the underlying cause of your chronic pain instead of merely treating the pain itself with narcotics and the like. We want you to be able to live pain-free instead of just managing your pain as best you can. Call us today to make an appointment.
