For the past fifteen years we have treated all forms of spinal disease at Island Sports Physical Therapy. From the patient with disc herniation and radiculopathy, to the tight musculoskeletal and rheumatological patient. All patients differ in symptoms, needs, and tolerance to exercise. Having the full resources of modality therapy, hands-on care, strengthening equipment, and an aquatic center, has given our physical therapists a full menu of treatment options to best suit the needs of their patients. This choice and variety tends to be an important motivating factor for our patients.

Below is a list of spinal related disorders commonly treated at Island Sports Physical Therapy:

Non-Operative	Post-Operative
Lumbo-Sacral Sprain Cervical / Strain Spinal Stenosis Spondylolisthesis Disc Degeneration Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiculopathy S-I Joint Dysfunction	Laminectomy Discectomy Fusion Scoliotic fixations

Spinal surgeons have different training and philosophies regarding managing their patients. Advances in spinal surgery coupled with research supporting the early use of therapeutic exercise has shortened immobilization time. Returning patients to full function and activities of daily living begins with a competent patient profile. Modalities, stretching and hands-on-care helps determine what level of exercises each patient can handle. All of the above, and home program design has historically worked best. We encourage all inquiries especially to our aquatic programs.
