Postsurgical Rehab

Postsurgical rehabilitation in Lake Forest & Highland Park

If you are about to have orthopedic surgery, there are steps you can take to recover more quickly and successfully. NSSSR can help you prepare by educating you about your surgery, increasing your range of motion, restoring your strength and decreasing your swelling, all of which can improve your postsurgical outcome. In some cases, we can even help you avoid surgery. But when surgery is your only option, our multidisciplinary team will help you get back on track.

Helping you recover more quickly after surgery

Your musculoskeletal system is critical to everything you do. Yet every year, hundreds of thousands of people suffer bone, muscle and joint injuries. Many require surgery and subsequent rehabilitation.

Clinical studies have shown that active, hands-on manual physical therapy is highly effective for reducing pain and restoring function quickly after an injury. We use proven, evidence-based protocols and today’s most advanced manual therapy, including soft-tissue mobilization, myofascial release and more. Our mission is to help you function at your best. We will educate you about your condition and give you the tools to help you heal and avoid future problems. Common postsurgical conditions we manage include:

Postsurgical rehabilitation for the lower extremities – ACL reconstruction, meniscectomy, joint replacement, hip and knee replacement
Postsurgical rehabilitation for upper extremities – rotator cuff repairs, decompression surgery & joint replacement
Postsurgical rehabilitation for spinal conditions – failed back surgery, discectomy, kyphoplasty

With two locations and flexible hours including Saturdays, we offer unparalleled convenience for patients. To learn how NSSSR can help you prepare for or recover from surgery and regain the strength, flexibility and range of motion you need to enjoy life once again, call us for an appointment.

Conditions

What our patients are saying

North Shore, Dr. J and the staff were great. I started out with a pinched cervical nerve which was causing extreme pain and numbness in my arm. Surgery had been ruled out by the neurosurgeon after an MRI. My physical recommended a regimen of physical therapy which I undertook with NorthShore in November. At that time I had consistent pain in the range of 8-9 out of 10. I had trouble sleeping, driving and performing most normal daily activities due to the constant pain. I have now been through two series of physical therapy sessions with North Shore over a couple of months and the pain and numbness are completely gone. Based on my experience I would highly recommend North Shore for physical therapy treatment and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful as a bonus! Jon Heintzelman

All aspects of the rehab program were done with professionalism. Intake evaluation, exercise program, massage therapy and exit evaluation were all excellent and yielded excellent results for me. All of the staff are friendly and efficient. Dr. Johnson, Jeannette, Cyprian and Mary are friendly and make an otherwise difficult experience much more tolerable. I have gone to them on two occasions over the last several years for different injuries and, in both instances, my problems were resolved. I highly recommend them.

I was a patient 6 years ago, with lower back pain and herniation. My PT was excellent and I was back to exercise and resolution of pain and herniation. Recently I have had hip pain and and tingling down my leg. My evaluation with DR Johnson was very thorough and spot on. The PT with Dre was incredible. I am now pain free with a resolution of the tingling as well. I will definitely return for any future problems that may arise!
