After 4 Shoulder Surgeries, I STILL can’t lift my arm, is there anything I can do??

Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka August 17, 2017

I had a client that came in for a hip replacement and she was progressing quite quickly when she started telling me a few stories about her long line of shoulder problems. She had been hit by a car while riding her bike. The accident had left her shoulder in pieces and the surgeons had done their best after the trauma but she had to have her shoulder and elbow reconstructed. The accident was 5 years prior to us meeting and through that time she had to have a shoulder replacement and 2 revisions. In total, she had to

What Exactly Is GOOD posture?

Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka August 11, 2017

Client Says: “I have neck pain and everyone says it has to do with bad posture, BUT what exactly is GOOD posture???” This client told me that she spends hours in front of the computer every single day and there is constant tension in her shoulders and pain that often runs from her neck down into her arms. Do you deal with tension like this? Have you had days where you didn’t think you would have made with all the pain? Have you ever thought it’s impossible for you to fix anything with the way you have to sit at work and

Sometimes My Shoulder Kills Me Then Sometimes It’s Fine!! What’s Going on and Why?

Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka August 1, 2017

https://vimeo.com/227999001 I hear about this situation almost every day and people are worried that they can’t be helped BUT very rarely is it too late. The intermittent pain with certain movements is a warning sign that there is usually some fraying in the tendons of shoulder muscles. Our life as you know is shaped to have us leaning forward, head down, shoulders forward, while sitting in front of a computer screen. Does that sound familiar? We then wonder why we can’t go exercise full speed, play sports or just play with our kids without feeling increased pain. We see

My Back Hurts Every Day and So Far Nothing Has Worked… Do I Need Surgery?

Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka July 26, 2017

Have you been told that you need surgery on your back? Have you been told that there is no other option?? Two months ago, I had a patient come to me asking if he should go ahead with a suggested surgery. They wanted to take out a disk and fuse the joint where the disk had been. We went through a full assessment and one of the biggest things that stuck out to me is that he didn’t have any of the usual weakness problems that would elicit a surgical option, he had no numbness anywhere in the legs

The Top 3 Reasons Why People Deal With Back Pain Longer Than They Should

Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka July 19, 2017

80+% of the population deal with back pain at some point in their life and most of them will deal with recurring episodes of back pain, hopefully not for too long but some suffer chronic problems and never get any relief! Sadly, a large number of people (400,000 Americans) resort to surgery before they ever have a good idea what the real problem is and after that their back will never be the same. Each segment of your back has a specific motion and job, once that is modified then the other segments must pick up the slack. In my work,

Why Do I Need to Do Physical Therapy if I Can Find the Exercises on the Internet?

Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka March 17, 2017

I was told a lot of things about treatment and physical therapy tonight by a 40 year old woman that has suffered with foot pain for OVER a year! This was a friend, I was in no way telling her she needed anything, she was just telling me about her imminent doom….. She has had two MRI’s: The first telling her that she tore a ligament in her ankle. The second was read that she was healed after 2 months of wearing a boot, BUT she still had pain and the pain has been there for an entire year.

Are You Depressed Because of Back Pain?

Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka February 18, 2017

Why do we have this problem? Are we inherently predisposed to these problems and if so, is there actually anything we can do about it? This all starts with the issue of life being a sitting sport; we sit to drive, we sit to study, we sit to work, we sit for movies, we sit for dinner etc….. We sit doing just about everything and obviously since we can walk, stand and run, we weren’t meant to spend our time sitting with our knees curled up and our backs rolled forward. With low back pain, most of the
