Back in Action:
Overcoming Limitations for Peak Performance
Back in Action is the place to go if you want to find the true cause of your injury. We have the experience and the education to get you feeling better but more importantly we equip you with the right tools to stay better without us.
At Back in Action we expect our patients to participate in their care, adhere to our advice and perform home care as instructed. We work together with you to create the most successful environment of healing.
If there is a limitation anywhere along this chain of movements through the body our performance can be negatively affected. Compensations can occur at any level and lead to wear and tear on tissues that are not designed to handle the extra load. The most common thing we see is the complaint of lower back pain and the causing factor being restricted hip movement. Many times we can correct lower back pain without even directly touching the back but working the source instead. The body is immaculate in design and will right itself whenever possible. Sometimes it just needs a little reminder!
Hello, I'm Doctor Donna
Expert Clinical Chiropractor in PA
I am the owner and Director of Back in Action. I have been a Doctor of Chiropractic since 1997 and owner of Back in Action since 1999. It has always intrigued me how the body worked and more importantly how it heals. I believe that the less disruption in the natural process of healing the better our bodies will perform. For this reason, I have spent the last 20+ years studying all forms of functional movement, muscle function, fascial patterns, neuromuscular activation and anything that helps me better understand why we get hurt.
If we retrace the movement pattern that created the problem, we can usually unwind it and begin the healing process to fix the root cause. I believe that exercise is key to staying healthy and we must take responsibility for our bodies and the stress and strain we put them through. The patients with the most success in achieving optimal health are the ones who work with us as a team and do the required “homework” of exercise and flexibility training. Our programs are simple and specific to the patient’s individual needs, so no two people are treated the same. It is my hope that should you become a patient here at Back in Action you would feel like a welcome part of our family and feel free to discuss any concerns you may have so you can have the best possible experience.
Thank you!!
How We Know
Our testing of movement patterns includes a 3 dimensional motion test on a measurement grid that reveals what plane of motion is restricted and causing faulty mechanics. We are able to see specific joint and muscle behaviors throughout these movements and detect imbalances and asymmetries in our bodies.
What We Do
Once we define what is wrong these are some of the methods used to correct the dysfunction. The order in which we build optimal performance is the order of the above tabs; hoover over the tab to learn more.
You have to have muscles and joints that can move before you try to strengthen them. If you have restricted movement we utilize a proven technique called ART (Active Release Technique) to loosen adhesions and lengthen the tissue. A 3-dimensional flexibility exercise is also given in order to maintain the length of muscle and joint mobility. Communication between joint and muscle is essential which is why we always give 3D movement stretches instead of static holds.
