Conditions and Pain Treated

Boca Orthopedic and Rehabilitation is recognized as the area’s leading diagnostic and physiotherapy facility for spine conditions. In addition to treating back and neck pain, Boca Orthopedic and Rehabilitation is also your trusted treatment source for many other conditions, including: 

Arm and Leg Pain or Numbness

Your spine encases a complex network of nerves that leave your spinal cord and travel throughout your body. The nerves exit at more than 60 different areas on the spine. The nerves can be injured or damaged at the spine or at various locations on your arms and legs. Many problems are caused by subluxation in the spine. Nerves may be pinched, compressed, swollen, or trapped resulting in loss of motion, loss of sensation, and focal pain or numbness, as well as pain or numbness that radiates along your limb. The professionals at Boca Orthopedic and Rehabilitation have special training and experience in diagnosing nerve disorders. They can identify the cause of your problem and offer a customized treatment plan aimed at your goals and symptom relief.

Back Injuries

Back injuries may result from trauma, poor body mechanics, or overuse. Injury to the vertebrae, discs, joints, muscles, and nerves may contribute to pain and impaired function. Boca Orthopedic and Rehabilitation is fully equipped to meet your orthopedic needs, offering state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment, chiropractics, and physical therapy, all conveniently located under one roof.

Please refer to our Patient Education Library to learn more about orthopedic conditions.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome develops when the tissues and tendons in the carpal tunnel swell. This makes the area within the tunnel smaller, which puts pressure on the median nerve and causes symptoms including pain, tingling, and numbness. The specialists at Boca Orthopedic and Rehabilitation offer non-surgical treatments that can help relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have had surgery, our specialists can provide therapies to help you recover and get back to your routine as quickly as possible.

Neck Pain

The neck is more vulnerable than any other part of the spine. It is also more susceptible to injury. Muscle, ligament, nerve, and spine injuries are common causes of neck pain. Poor posture and “wear and tear” can cause neck pain. Degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, can cause the spinal structures to break down and put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

Neck pain ranges from mild to severe. The pain can spread to the head, shoulders, arms, and hands. It can be acute or chronic. Acute neck pain begins suddenly, usually after an injury. Acute neck pain resolves as the injury heals, usually within several days or weeks. Chronic neck pain lasts longer than three months. Chronic pain may be constant and caused by structural changes in the spine from degenerative diseases. At Boca Orthopedic and Rehabilitation you will benefit from the convenience of onsite diagnostic imaging equipment and the expertise of our Board-Certified Orthopedist and Chiropractors. Your treatment plan may use a team approach and consist of a combination of chiropractic, physical therapy, orthopedic, and massage therapy services—all focused on your symptom relief, preferences, and goals.

Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is the thickest and longest nerve in your body. At its largest point, the sciatic nerve is about as wide as a thumb. The sciatic nerve extends from your lower back down to your toes. If the sciatic nerve is compressed or inflamed, a painful condition called sciatica can result. Symptoms of sciatica include shooting pain, tingling, weakness, and numbness that may travel from the lower back, through the back of one leg, and into your foot.

Trauma, spinal conditions, or medical conditions that irritate the sciatic nerve cause sciatica. The majority of people with sciatica experience relief with non-surgical treatments aimed at relieving pain and pressure on the sciatic nerve. Chiropractics and physical therapy may help. A variety of treatments may be used to reduce your pain, muscle spasms, and swelling. You will learn exercises to strengthen your muscles. You should remain as active as possible, because motion helps to reduce inflammation.
