Osteoporosis
Arthritis
A very painful condition that can affect many different joints and, in some people, other parts of the body as well, including the blood, the lungs and the heart besides the quality of life. Inflammation of the joint lining, called the synovium, can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, warmth and redness. The affected joint may also lose its shape, resulting in loss of normal movement. RA can last a long time and can be a disease of flares (active symptoms) and remissions (few to no symptoms).
Fibromyalgia
This chronic syndrome is associated with pain and stiffness throughout the tissues that support and move the bones and joints. Pain and localized tender points occur in the muscles and tendons, particularly those of the neck, spine, shoulders and hips. Other common symptoms include widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disturbances.
Stroke Rehabilitation

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
We are experienced, licensed, and certified physical therapists with more than 30 years of experience. We have practiced internationally and authored many topics on physical therapy as a continuous effort to bring understanding of the great benefits of physical therapy in pain control, modification and adjustment for a better life style. We have high interest in spine (neck and back) pain and dysfunction, personal and sport injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and Temporo-Mandibular Joint dysfunctions, which are most often considered the leading cause of headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, nausea and neck pain. Our services include electrophysiology testing for the muscles and nerves. All of our procedures and examinations are provided only by physician’s referrals.
Multiple Sclerosis

Depression

Ultrasound
In myofascial pain cases, due to an inflammatory process caused by clinching habits or other causes, ultrasound and myomatic stimulation have the greatest effect in the physiological adjustment to the muscles and body cells. The pain will be killed by restoring the blood supply which enhances the accumulation of neurotransmitters (endorphins) which inhibit the perception of pain. Very specific mouth exercises are also demonstrated to help improve blood circulation and increase muscle endurance for better tolerable function.
MRI
The disc fibers of the annulus can stretch to a limited degree; therefore when the vertebrae are compressed together, the fibers stretch but do not tear. When the vertebrae bend on each other, the fibers can stretch enough to allow bending but do not tear. When the fibers are twisted, they are too limited to share and they may be stretched more than they can allow and thus tear. The outer fibers called annular fibrosus tear first and that what is appeared in MRI as bulge. When the disc be further damaged the tear keep moving toward the center which hold the small jelly substance called nucleus pulpous, if it busted now the disc become herniated. When more pressure was applied, nucleus material keep finding ways out the annular pulpous, so it bleed through the annular crack until small portion be able to go out and lie on the nerve root and now this called extrusion. This and earlier factors produce narrow in nerve gutter that may lead to neuro-ischemia that become a source of pain in the muscle that innervated by the anterior and posterior rami.
X-Rays

Whiplash
There are two distinct types of cervical neck pain. The first type often involves a dull pain in the neck that radiates down the shoulders and arms. Patients may also notice weakness in specific muscles in the arms. A herniated (bulging) disc in the spine pinching a nerve root in the neck often causes this type of neck pain. Discs are found between each vertebra, or bone, in the spinal column. They serve as "shock absorbers" within the spine and have a gel-like center that makes them flexible, allowing the spine to bend and move. However, because the discs are soft they can also bulge and become misshapen. When this occurs, they can place pressure on the spinal cord or irritate one of the nerves leading from the spinal cord out to the arms and upper torso. If the bulge becomes severe, the disc may herniate and push into the spinal canal. The result can be weakness, tingling, clumsiness and numbness in the arm and hands. Bulging discs can be caused by injuries like whiplash, stress on the spine by overuse, or by arthritis/degeneration in the spine.
Arthroscopy
Joint Replacement
The main goals in the treatment of osteoarthritis are to minimize progression and control pain symptoms. However, there is no intervention that has been shown to halt or reverse osteoarthritis. Oral pain medications such as tylenol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, ie. ibuprofen, naprosyn, provide temporary relief and the latter can help reduce swelling. Herbal over the counter remedies have had mixed resulats. Short-term studies on glucosamine and chondroitin showed promise in regards to pain-relief, however, there has been no data to support a decrease in disease progression. With exceptionally painful or advanced cases, braces or splints may be needed, cortisone shots or shots of synthetic fluid may provide some relief and treatment by a physical therapist is recommended before any joint replacement surgery is considered.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Dr. Yousef... was concerned about my arthritic knees. He was also very concerned about my health. Since I started the program, my knees are getting stronger and I am losing weight. I would recommend Dr. Yousef to you for Physical Therapy needs.

Back Pain
Manual Therapy
What We Do: Physical therapists provide care to people of all ages who have functional problems resulting from, for example, back and neck injuries, sprains/strains, fractures, arthritis, burns, amputations, stroke, multiple sclerosis, birth defects such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida, and injuries related to work and sports. Physical therapy care and services are provided by physical therapists and physical therapist assistants who work under the direction and supervision of a physical therapist. Physical therapists evaluate and diagnose movement dysfunction and use interventions to treat patients/clients. These may include therapeutic exercise, functional training, manual therapy techniques, assistive and adaptive devices and equipment, and physical agents and electrotherapeutic modalities.
