Conquering Pain in Wendell
Recovering from an injury or regaining full body function after surgery can be a long difficult endevour, especially if you doing it by yourself. Physical Therapists (PT) help with the healing process by providing specific exercises that strengthen your body. Their main goal is help you overcome conditions that limit your ability to move and engage in the normal activities of life. For those of us in smaller communities, it can be a challenge to find a PT close enough to be practical to use on a regular basis. With
over 20 years of experience, Dr. Lon Egbert DPT is a firm believer that physical therapy is most effective when friends and neighbors can encourage each other through the process. In keeping with that believe, Dr. Egbert recently expanded his Jerome Clinic to include a facility located at the north end of Wendell (429 North Idaho Street). Wendell Physical Therapy provides services for orthopedic injuries, carpal tunnel, back pain, neck care, arthritic disorders, and degenerative join/disk disease. Dr. Egbert and his team also provide a sports medicine clinic to help athletes recover from, and to prevent, injuries. In addition, they provide workplace evaluations to help employers keep workers safe.
Some jobs require a high level of physical strength. Making sure employees are capable of performing those tasks safely helps reduce turnover, increases productivity, and reduces Workman’s Comp premiums. Outside his office, Dr. Egbert is committed to our school athletes. High school sports can be fun for our students, but there are dangers. Concussions, even minor ones, can cause problems if they are not delt with properly. Dr. Egbert volunteers his time and expertise with several northside schools to keep our athletes safe. If you are in need of physical therapy or just have questions, contact Wendell Physical Therapy at 208 324 3090 or jeromept.com. You don’t have to live with pain.
