Chiropractor Announces Queens Physical Therapy Treatments Speed Injury Recovery

JAMAICA, NY, Oct 12, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Dr. Lee's Spine

Center in Jamaica, New York announced the incorporation of physical

therapy into patient treatments. The rehabilitation and pain relief

treatments include an initial diagnostic consultation followed by

relief care that is designed to provide both immediate and long-term

pain management. Depending on a patient's needs, a range of therapies

is used to manage chronic pain and correct the underlying cause for

this pain, including heat and ice therapy, spinal decompression,

massage and corrective exercises.

Dr. Lee, chiropractor and founder of Dr. Lee's Spine Center,

announced the incorporation of physical therapy into his patient

treatment plans. Each plan is tailored to a client's specific wellness

needs and is designed to enhance pain relief and speed recovery.

" Our treatments are different from traditional medical care, " said Dr.

Lee. " We combine a range of therapies and customize each plan to meet

a patient's individual wellness needs. "

New patients receive an initial diagnostic consultation session. Dr.

Lee evaluates the patient, determining the underlying cause for the

pain or injury. For example, a herniated disc in the lower back may be

responsible for radiating pain in the back, legs and buttocks, a

condition known as sciatica.

" Many patients do not realize there are real options for treating

chronic back pain and injuries, " said Dr. Lee. " By precisely

identifying the location of the nerve pain, we can create a treatment

program to restore alignment to the musculoskeletal system for

long-term relief and healing. "

Dr. Lee uses a variety of physiotherapy techniques in his treatment

plans as well. These techniques include heat therapy, ice therapy,

corrective exercises, gentle movement under anesthesia and spinal

decompression therapy.

" Our goal with every treatment is to restore a full range of movement

to the body and providing long-lasting pain relief, " said Dr. Lee. " To

achieve this goal, we can't just cover up the pain with medication.

Our treatments are designed to correct the underlying cause for pain

and reduce the risk of future injury. "

Physical therapy treatments help the body recover a full range of

movement by strengthening the muscles and promoting internal healing.

Soft tissue therapy, like massage, is a natural conservative

treatment. According to Dr. Lee, massage enhances blood flow, which

can help reduce inflammation and swelling. This may also relieve

spasms and muscle pain by relaxing the soft tissues.

Dr. Lee also uses decompression treatments to correct a herniated or

slipped disc and to relieve the underlying cause for pain in the lower

back.

" Spinal decompression therapy is an important part of our overall

rehabilitation plan, " said Dr. Lee. " Each treatment session lasts

between 20 and 35 minutes, and is essential in correcting nerve

compression and restoring proper alignment to the spine. I frequently

combine decompression treatments with other physiotherapy treatments

like corrective exercises and heat or ice treatments. "

Individuals in Queens and the surrounding communities who wish to

learn more about Dr. Lee's rehabilitation treatment plans may do so by

visiting the practice's website, http://dr-jameslee.com .

Prospective patients who would like to schedule an appointment with

the chiropractor may do so by using the online appointment request

form or by calling the center.

This is clearly illegal in NY. I will notify our chapter officials and we

will file the proper complaint with the Office of Professional Discipline as

quickly as possible.

Thanks for the alert.

In Virginia it appears that it is not illegal, b/c the chiros around here

offer " physical therapy " and bill for it using the PT CPT codes. This has

caused issues when we get patients who have the " 20 PT visits per calendar

year " type limitations, b/c the chiro may have used 10 visits, without the

patient really understanding what they were doing. Anyone have info on

that? Is it different by state?

You have to check with your state practice act. Some states outlaw chiros from

advertising PT services and calling it so.
