Is "Text Neck" causing your headaches!?

Hello everyone,

In an effort to better educate our patients Sarasota Pain Treatment Center has decided to begin making videos in hopes to educate our patients and the public about common issues and distortions with peoples posture. We aim to not only educate and inform but give helpful stretches and exercises in an effort to combat this issues and give our patients the tools to do proper maintenance for their body at home. 

This weeks video is so common it will speak to you personally. We find ourselves in this head flexed position so much during our day that its no wonder so many people suffer from chronic headaches and neck tension. Check out the latest video and listen to Casey Smith and Drew Adkinson explain the anatomy, how this "text neck" position affects us and most importantly what we can do to help combat this poor posture!

Runners! Is Achilles Tendinitis Limiting Your Performance?

Image
                         Runners! Runners! Runners! Achilles tendinitis is a condition that has not only plagued runners but many other athletes. Often this may sound worse than it is, so let me explain. The large tendon in the back of the ankle (your Achilles) can become irritated and inflamed. Achilles tendinitis is common with many recreati onal athletes and overuse of the Achilles tendon can cause damaging inflammation leading to pain and swelling in the ankle. This is onset by overuse of calf muscles, reduced flexibility and over pronation of the feet. Other factors attributing to your Achilles tendinitis are recent changes in footwear, and changes in exercise training schedules. Many times long distance runners will have symptoms of Achilles tendinitis after increasing mileage or hill training. Age plays a factor in this as well, as we get older tendons, like other tissues in the body, become less flexible, more rig...

Got Weak Grip???

Image
We often have patients coming into the office complaining of a weak grip or even pain while gripping. As you can imagine this can easily make daily activities that we take for granted everyday seem very difficult. Symptoms such as a weak grip, pain near the elbow, and pain on either side of the forearm can be a result of hypertonicity in the muscles and soft tissue. Overuse and/or miss use of both the flexors and extensors in your forearm can lead to symptoms like these.  We don't normally think that the small repetitive movements we do everyday affect us but I assure you, they do. Office workers clicking a mouse, mechanics wrenching on cars, and even massage therapist using their hands constantly day after day takes it's toll. A weakened grip can not only stem from hypertonicity in the tissue but can  also be a result of nerve entrapment in the forearm. You have three common impingement areas in your forearm from three common muscles. The Supinator, Flexor Digitorum Superfici...

Foam Rolling for Knee and Hip Pain

Image
Hey everyone! I get many questions regarding knee pain at the clinic and wanted to share with you a common stretching tool I use myself and recommend too many of my patients. Foam rollers can be a great way to help alleviate tension in a muscle, stretch surrounding fascia, and increase blood flow. You may use any type of foam roller but I prefer using a longer roller with a firm density. The reason foam rolling works so well is that it addresses muscle and facial tension as well as increasing blood flow to the area. Often times the Illiotibial Band will become overly tightened and begin pulling on the knees joint capsule. When this happens, tracking issues and irritation or a form of tendonitis may develop. Chronic knee or hip pain may be a result as well as Illiotibial band syndrome. Keeping your quadriceps and Illiotibial band healthy and loose can help eliminate minor knee pain. If foam rolling and stretching do not help your chronic hip or knee pain please seek a local Neurosomatic...
