​

Can Physical Therapy Help My Neck, Shoulder Or Back Pain?

Before the optimal physical therapy treatment plan for neck, shoulder and back pain can be determined, Dr. Burford begins by performing extensive x-rays of the neck, middle back and lower back to identify the best route to healing with physical therapy.

​

Maybe you were in a car accident 20 years ago and didn't notice any back aches or neck pains associated with the wreck. But now, decades later, you’re experiencing pain in your neck, legs, back or elsewhere. You may even be experiencing migraines or muscle tightness or strain. That pain could be related to that accident or other trauma that occurred many years in the past.

​

“The problem started years ago for 95 percent of people who come to see me in pain. People involved in auto accidents and experiencing no pain afterwards are more likely to have arthritis and pain down the road,” said Burford, the only doctor in the area certified in whiplash from the Spine Research Institute of San Diego.

 

Can Dr. Burford’s Treatment Plan Alleviate My Arthritis Or Neuropathy Pain?

There’s no reason to live with arthritis or neuropathy pain. Dr. Burford’s extensive physical therapy program at his Collierville, TN clinic can assist with a variety of aches and pains, including arthritis or neuropathy pain and even headaches. Step one is to find the source of the pain.

​

Dr. Burford uses guidance from x-rays taken throughout the treatment plan, allowing him to adjust the plan as needed. “I am looking for the origin of the pain,” said Dr. Burford. “I had a friend whose leg quit working. He went to the ER, where an MRI was done on his lower back and found nothing. Finally, an orthopedic surgeon suggested imaging on his neck. He had a herniated disc that was putting pressure on his spinal cord so his leg wouldn’t work. The problem was not with his leg. Once he knew where the problem originated, we could get to work fixing it.”

 

Are There Natural Solutions To Curing My Back And Neck Pain?

Yes, there are natural solutions to curing back and neck pain, and Dr. Burford believes that natural solutions to curing back and neck pain are not only available but are actually preferable to expensive, unnecessary and invasive surgeries.

​

Before beginning physical therapy to treat pain and improve mobility, Dr. Burford takes initial x-rays and then again every four to six weeks during treatment in order to adjust as needed. Using x-rays as his guide, Burford’s physical therapy program has an outstanding success rate—without involving invasive and expensive surgery.

​

“Eighty percent of patients with herniated discs who have been told they need surgery will not need surgery—if they do exactly as I say,” he said, adding that everyone deserves a life with less pain.
