Integrative Care in La Porte IN

Physiotherapy helps restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. Physiotherapy or "medically directed rehab" helps restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health. Our La Porte patients include accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as low-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, and cerebral palsy.

Treatment often includes exercise; especially for patients who have been immobilized or who lack flexibility, strength, or endurance. Physiotherapy helps encourage patients to use their muscles to increase their flexibility and range of motion. More advanced exercises focus on improving strength, balance, coordination, and endurance. The goal is to improve how an individual functions at work and at home.

Everyone thinks of a chiropractic doctor when they have back or neck pain, but not many people think of them when they are suffering from allergies, disc problems, headaches or fibromyalgia.  Our La Porte chiropractic team at Back to Health Chiropractic is here to help you recover quickly.  By offering patients multiple options we are able to provide the highest quality care.

Unlike an anti-histamine, chiropractic care gives the body strength to fight allergies. An allergy occurs when the body detects foreign substances and perceives it as harmful such as dust, pollen, animal dander, etc. Your immune system reacts to these foreign substances by causing sneezing, congestion, rashes, hives and coughing with the goal of expelling them from the body. In severe cases, an allergen can cause seizures or even anaphylactic shock. This occurs due to histamines created by the immune system in an effort to protect your body.

A joint injection (intra-articular injection) is a procedure used in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, tendinitis, bursitis and occasionally osteoarthritis.

A hypodermic needle is injected into the affected joint where it delivers a dose of any one of many anti-inflammatory agents, the most common of which are corticosteroids. Hyaluronic acid, because of its high viscosity, is sometimes used to replace bursa fluids. The technique may be used to also withdraw excess fluid from the joint.

Orthotics will often help to realign the bones within the foot and ankle and therefore take pressure off other parts of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders, and hips. In addition, orthotics will help with distributing your weight properly and take further pressure off of toes, bunions and other parts of the foot.

Orthotics are really for anyone with an issue or discomfort relating to walking or imbalances in the body that are known to cause related pain. The great benefit of orthotics is that they can be worn on a daily basis and be utilized during most activities to take further stress of the body.

Orthotics can often be prescribed by our doctors and can last well over a year in most cases. This is a great investment into your overall health and well being via a biomechanical standpoint.
