At the Natural Family Health Care Center we approach the treatment of these conditions by identifying the cause of the pain.  We also prevent these conditions by treatments that help you maintain balanced posture and movement

Pain Occurring on the Job and from Repetitive Work Activity

Pain During Exercise, Hobbies, Playing Instruments, Dance or Sport Activity
Pain from Arthritis, Stiff, Popping Joints and Poor Sense of Balance and Stability

The human body by design is subject to mechanical stresses due to our upright posture and activities of sitting, bending and twisting.   Conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis and myofascitis are all common in that they are an inflammatory breakdown of the structures that support your body.  It is a degenerative process that will commonly continue into later life unless it is stopped.  It is the most common cause of impairment in your daily activity and also may cause depression.

Dr. Christopher Lachowski at Natural Family Health is a specialist in the biomechanics of the human body.   He applies the principles of the science of biomechanics in relation to the activities causing pain to reveal the underlying source of your pain.  Due to lifestyle stresses, posture and injuries, the body goes through many compensations that create imbalances and persistence of pain.  You may ask, “why do I feel pain every time I play golf, sew, play guitar, dance, work in my garden, run or simply walk for exercise?”

By a thorough history  and a biomechanical oriented examination we can help you understand the factors contributing to your pain.  The examination will focus on postural alignment, spinal and joint mobility, patterns of muscle balance, neurologic function, orthopedic testing and specific biomechanical testing of body movements in relation to the activity causing pain.

At Natural Family Health can design a plan to effectively manage the pain problem.  Our goal is to help restore proper  mobility and balance to the whole body, rehabilitate to stabilize postural alignment, retrain correct movement patterns, and show you how to return to activities in a way that prevents a return of pain.  Now you can enjoy your life with less pain!
