To optimize the treatment, Dr. Mellusi encourages his patients to follow proper exercises, proper body form, and posture. “My aim is not just to alleviate the pain but also to educate the patients about pain management,” says Dr. Melussi. After the treatment, if need be, the patient transitions into ProActiveCare’s reha- bilitation program. The ultimate goal of physical thera- pist Dr. Altman is to restore patients to their normal, active life so they can live without pain. Dr. Altman provides one on one attention to patients of all ages, and with a wide range of condi- tions. He customizes a complete evalu- ation; diagnosis and treatment plan for each patient and delves into the source of the problem to address not just the obvious concerns but the underlying causes. Patients at ProActiveCare can expect to receive personalized treat- ment sessions combined with a home exercise program to enhance recovery. ProActiveCare’s evidence-based treatments focused on chiropractic, orthopedic and sports therapy address a variety of issues from back and neck pain to disorders of the musculoskele- tal system and pain from chronic ill- nesses. Patients come to the practice to seek relief from the pain of an injury, illness or surgery and both Dr. Glenn and Dr. Altman strive to identify the primary reasons for the pain and help their patients to return to having a nor- mal life. Each of the physical therapy and rehabilitation sessions delivered at ProActiveCare are important, because they help the patients reach specific goals of optimum and pain free body functions.
