The McKenzie Method
Using the McKenzie method, Dr. Lott can determine if Physical Therapy is the right treatment for you. This form of treatment involves active client participation and can often lead to client independence in controlling the symptoms or correcting the problem.  Back and neck pain is very common, but when symptoms are present for more than a couple of weeks or pain is referred to your arms, or legs, you may need more immediate attention.

ASSESSMENT
Unique to the McKenzie Method is a comprehensive assessment on your first visit. This mechanical examination can classify most patient conditions by the level of pain or limitation that results from certain movements or positions. This can eliminate the need for expensive or invasive procedures.

TREATMENT
Our emphasis is on active patient involvement that minimizes the number of visits and provides cost and time effective treatment. Patients with more difficult mechanical problems will receive advanced hands on techniques with the therapist.

PREVENTION
Patients gain knowledge on how to minimize the risk of recurrence with self maintenance strategies. Dr. Lott will help you determine the cause of your pain, provide education as to why you have your pain, what you can do at home or at work to prevent worsening your symptoms and how you can prevent future occurrences.  In conjunction with your physician, Dr. Lott and his staff will make it their goal to provide you long term relief from pain and related symptoms with education on what you can do independently to avoid future pain.

Don’t let another day of nagging back or neck pain affect your life - contact us today to schedule a screening with Dr. Lott at Lott Physical Therapy and Fitness Center.

Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Every patient has different needs, goals, and history of injury or condition. Each patient is evaluated prior to treatment to assess their needs, provide education pertaining to their specific condition, answer questions or concerns, and take baseline measurements to help determine goals. Pain reduction is the primary goal and will always be addressed prior to establishing an exercise program. Typical treatments for orthopedic conditions causing pain or discomfort may include modality treatment such as heat/cold treatment, ultrasound, and manual therapy. As the patient's symptoms of discomfort subside, progressive therapeutic exercise will be prescribed to address the cause of his/her discomfort or physical limitations.

Sports Medicine
Lott Physical Therapy provides progressive sports rehabilitation for athletes of all ages and playing levels. The facility is equipped to meet the challenges of athletes at all levels. In collaboration with the referring provider, the Physical Therapist develops a program which includes sports specific rehab, preventive education, and a home exercise regimen.

Industrial Rehabilitation
The clinic also provides:
• Work hardening/ conditioning
• Post-offer job screening
• Functional capacity evaluation
• Job-site analysis
• Return to work testing

The industrial rehabilitation program provides training and conditioning which incorporates each individual's specific job task. This form of rehabilitation has proven to be much more effective than conventional therapy, in returning the injured worker to pre-injury status. Our interdisciplinary approach encompasses the injured employee's needs by incorporating Physical Therapists, a licensed Psychologist (PhD) and a Nurse Practitioner for diet and nutrition analysis.
