Are You An Active Adult Being Slowed Down By Either Pain Or Injury?

A Personal Message From Dr. Adam Shildmyer

  • Are you worried about missing out on your favorite activities, like running, cycling, golfing, hiking or even playing with your kids?

  • Have you tried pain medications, massage or stretches with only short-term relief?

  • Are you concerned that your injury or random pain seems to alway come back and won’t go away?

  • Are you frustrated with previous health care providers who didn’t explain your recovery in a way that made sense - which left you wondering how to get back to living pain free?

  • Are you someone who values their health and is looking for a long-term solution to getting rid of your injury and getting back to being active?

If You Answered “Yes” To Any Of These Questions, You Are In The Right Place!

It is far too common to put off seeking treatment for an injury in hopes that it will simply go away on its own (but that is rarely the case).

Many active adults suffer through aches and pains because someone told them that “every active person” experiences them at some point in their life.

If that’s happening to you - you’re definitely not alone - I hear this type of thing all the time.

In fact, active adults are one of the most common patients we see at Vertical Sports Physical Therapy

There is a lot of BAD ADVICE Out There Regarding How To Handle Injuries For Active Adults…

What’s False:

  • It’s Normal with age to get injured or have persistent aches and pains

  • You just need to rest more to stay active

  • Just take some pain meds or muscle relaxants and it will go away

  • You just need to go to the gym more and strengthen your muscles to fix your injury

The Truth is:

  • It’s not normal to get more injuries or aches as you get older

  • Resting or taking pain meds doesn’t change anything.

  • Passive treatments aren’t enough. They reduces pain and swelling temporarily.

  • Your muscles are likely weak, but which ones? Most people try to strengthen their injury prone areas and not the actual issue.

Get Your Active and Healthy Life Back!

  • You must choose the best provider for your personal health. If you don’t, you could end up out of shape and trying treatments you could’ve avoided (like pain meds or invasive surgeries).

  • It’s more likely possible that you can treat your injury naturally, without invasive treatments. In fact, that is often the best way.

  • In order to do that, you can’t just treat the pain - but you need a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the injury happened and what needs to be done in order to keep it from happening again.

  • Only then, will you get a permanent solution to your problems
