How do I know if a HealthSource of Fall River Adhesion Provider will be able to help?
If you have any muscle, joint, or nerve problems then you are a good candidate. This is what we do best. If you have also failed other treatments or haven't reached your maximum level of improvement, then you are also a good candidate. Our practitioners focus on finding and fixing Scar Tissue, which is a difficult problem to find and even more difficult to fix. Our trained providers can help with this problem as it is not extensively trained in most injury treatments. Our type of care is unique so all potential new clients will need to complete a comprehensive consultation exam. The consultation is 15 minutes and the practitioners will briefly discuss your case with you to determine if you are in the right place. This is generally done via zoom.
How long are follow-up treatments?
Follow-up visits are 15-20 minutes. The goal of any treatment is to get you back to functioning as well as possible without pain and limitation so you will be given specific guidance that you are expected to follow if you want the best resolution to your problem. This is a team approach - not a passive one.
Are there any other treatments that can do the same thing?
The short answer is not exactly. There are many manual treatments and instrument treatments that seem similar from the patient perspective, but the proof is in the results. Sustainable improvements in pain and range of motion are the unique differences that give you results.
How long does a treatment plan last and when will I get pain relief?
On average, a single region of complaint (i.e. shoulder or low back) can reach a full resolution or maximum medical improvement in an average of 12 visits. Our practitioners typically see sustainable functional changes that are measured within 1-2 visits. Most clients begin to feel sustainable improvements in pain within 2-3 visits.
What conditions do you treat?
The most common conditions treated are disc bulges/herniations, sciatica, low back pain, hip bursitis, degenerative disc disease, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff problems, shoulder bursitis, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, peripheral nerve problems, arthritis, tennis elbow, etc.
What are the benefits of your treatments?
Decreased pain, inflammation, stiffness, and nerve symptoms. Increased flexibility, strength and function.
Do you offer payment options for treatment plans?
Yes, the details of your payment options will be known after your problem is evaluated and it is determined that we will be able to help fix your problem by prescribing the necessary treatment plan.
