By Dr. Jessica Warnecke PT, DPT, OCS  The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. It is the region that connects your entire arm to the rest of your trunk and is comprised of a combination of bones, muscle tendons, and ligaments that allow you to move freely when putting on a shirt, driving your car, placing dishes in the cupboards, and playing sports.
By Dr. Jessica Warnecke PT, DPT, OCS  Why does knee pain occur so often in active people? Besides the obvious fact that active people move around and are on their feet a majority of the day, which increases their chances of feeling pain, knee pain can be present in those that regularly run, bike, lift weights or play sports for a number of reasons not related to suffering one specific injury.
By Dr. Jessica Warnecke PT, DPT, OCS  I recently had a patient come to me for shoulder pain she’d been experiencing intermittently over the past 6 years. We discussed her symptoms and concerns a bit on the phone and she explained that her pain starts out of nowhere, and then ends by itself- sometimes 2 days later sometimes 2 weeks later. She had struggled to get any answers because once her symptoms started, she was either in too much pain to move or she couldn’t get in to see her physician in time before the pain resolved. She was getting to the point of frustration and unsure if anything could even be done.
By Dr. Jessica Warnecke PT, DPT, OCS  What happens to our body when we feel pain? Is there a difference between the pain you feel when you stub your toe against the coffee table versus when you’ve had low back pain for the past three years? The short answer is yes. The long answer is a more thorough explanation of what is occurring, why it is different, and how we can use our brain to resolve the pain and get us back to moving actively throughout the day.
By Dr. Jessica Warnecke PT, DPT, OCS  How important is staying active? Maybe a question we don’t stop to think about enough…until it’s too late.
