Recognizing pain patterns is an area of expertise of our team. Burning pain typically shows a neurogenic or nerve cause. Similar descriptions may include: sharp, searing, pricking, electrical, itchy, stinging, shooting to list a few. We teach how to manage a nerve pattern pain to successfully regain control of the pain.

The concept "Use it or lose it" may apply here as muscles need to be exercised or begin to atrophy or waste. Weight gain can contribute. as well as muscle and skeleton (bone) issues. If there are no known causes, we can help with the aches, soreness, dull, cramp, and/or deep pain that may simply be a de-conditioning. We'll teach you the safe methods to focus on your needs. Not a cookie cutter approach of one method for all. Personalized! Let's do this together. 

You can come directly to Southwest Therapy Specialists for physical therapy - Aquatic Therapy - or Certified Hand Therapy at any time. By avoiding the insurance company, and seeing us direct for personalized care, you pay out of pocket at the time of service, just as you do at a gym for those non-licensed trainers.
