Women's Health Program

Specialized help for women's health concerns

Women have unique health problems that can be greatly helped and often eliminated by physical therapy. These include low-back pain, urinary incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction and pain, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis and prenatal and postpartum issues.

Help for "leaky bladder" issues

For example, the inability to predict or stop urine flow (from drops to ounces) is a common disorder experienced by more than 17 million females of all ages. Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder control. There are many causes of urinary incontinence (pregnancy, surgery, overweight, etc.). 

A variety of diseases, diabetes among them, can also contribute to compromised bladder control. Often difficult to manage, it can lead to embarrassment, frustration, isolation and depression. But you don’t have to live with it. Urinary incontinence is not a hopeless condition. Urinary incontinence is not a disease or a “normal part of the aging process.” It is a symptom of an underlying condition or problem, which could be solved with the help of a skilled physical therapist and an effective treatment program at Neil King Physical Therapy.

Chronic Pain Program Rochester Hills

Chronic pain is defined as continuous pain and other symptoms lasting over six
months and affecting a person’s normal activities and well-being. Chronic pain afflicts over 85 million Americans and the average chronic pain patient suffers for seven years and has three major surgeries in their desperate search for pain relief. Pain is a problem no matter where it comes from. People may suffer from arthritis or joint pain, muscle pain, nerve pain (neuropathy), headaches or extremity pain. Cancer patients often have pain, as well. But they don’t have to live with it. And you don’t have to live with your pain, either, especially with so many treatments available, including:
