Are you trying to exercise but limited by pain?
Are you an athlete or dancer limited in performing due to pain?
Does your activity cause recurrent muscle, joint, low back or neck pain?
It is unfortunate that many people choose to live in pain or feel there is no solution to their pain condition. Sometimes you may have tried a treatment approach with limited results. Was the treatment a passive therapy? Just taking a pain medication to try to solve a pain condition is passive care, for example. Or just trying to rub it out, using a topical relief cream or putting some heat on it are all passive treatments. May help for a brief time but the pain comes back. Passive treatments are the things you take and put on and hope the pain just goes away.
INTRODUCING PERSONALIZED ACTIVE CARE
ACTIVE CARE is a unique approach applied by Dr. Chris Lachowski that integrates the various methods of physical medicine tailored to the specific pain condition and personalized to the individual as an active participant in the treatment process. ACTIVE CARE is an integrative multi-disciplinary approach that applies the principles of postural balance biomechanics, orthopedics, chiropractic manipulation, muscle kinesiology and neuro-muscular training into a treatment plan that helps manage pain and restore balance to the whole body.
First, it involves properly identifying the structures that are the source of the pain and the biomechanical imbalance that has caused the pain to occur. Then a therapy plan is designed utilizing specific ACTIVE physical and naturopathic therapies that address the CAUSE of the pain.
These therapies actively applied work to effectively reduce the source of the pain, support healing to regenerate the injured structures and restore strength, movement, postural balance and stability to the body as a whole to enjoy a life of better mobility. Below is a list of the more common conditions that Dr. Chris Lachowski treats successfully.
These injuries can be caused by poor posture, trauma, repetitive stress or “overuse syndrome”, and muscle imbalance.
