I've had Physical Therapy before, but it didn't help. What now?

This is a common statement from patients new to our office.  Unfortunately the reason is usually disjointed care, poor patient compliance, poor therapist supervision, lack of knowledge of patient's condition or misdiagnosis of the actual cause of the problem.  At Alamo Healthcare Systems we strive to get to the cause of the patient's problem first in order to appropriately guide the patients care.  Our comprehensive team approach allows us to do this.  By pulling in knowledge from all of our specialty providers allows the patient to attain quick recovery without travelling to several offices around town to do so.  When therapy is ordered, our Physicians do a careful neuromusculoskeletal evaluation from head to toe, to determine any physical causes that might contribute to pain. Clients tell us our doctors and therapists are very different from their previous experiences. They are taught adaptive and coping strategies to use in daily life. Education, modalities, massage, functional training, and easy exercises help balance muscles and correct problems. Many clients report feeling better after one appointment.
