One Of Our Favorite Success Stories...Dr. Barbour is AWESOME! ......"After a long battle with sarcoidosis (following pneumonia), I was left with intense rib/muscle pain. I went regularly for massage for over seven years with very short periods of relief – maybe a day at the most. This pain often felt like a giant was squeezing my ribs and caused me difficulty breathing and just plain aggravating! I had heard of Dr Barbour and the success people had through his knowledge and decided to give it a try. Four visits and my rib and muscle pain were gone! For some they cannot imagine such a quick turnaround, but after struggling for over seven years with this it is hard not to recognize what incredible healing can take place here at Rehabilitation Specialists with Dr Barbour and his therapists! My pain worsened too with activity and now none! It’s just a great feeling to have this pain gone, and I cannot thank Dr Barbour enough for turning my life around! I continue to come on a regular basis – it’s great maintenance for my ever-challenging body! I remember Dr Barbour telling me when my treatment began, “we can get this healed, and I don’t think it’s going to take long.” He was right!" D.G. If you are in PAIN, call Anne at Rehab Specialists and get an appointment with one of our great providers! (734) 241-0560.

A WONDERFUL Success Story from one of our patients..."Before starting PT I was not able to lay down on my back without pain. I am now able to lay flat with my legs also flat. This has helped me get more sleep at night. I am able to stretch my lower back after my PT sessions, finally after 2 months of not going able to hardly move. I now walk about 2 miles per day... before I couldn't even walk to my basement." Tom J. If you or someone you care about is in pain call Rehabilitation Specialists of Monroe at (734)241-0560 TODAY!

BREAKTHROUGH PAIN RELIEF ARRIVES IN MONROE, MI: SHOCKWAVE THERAPY NOW AVAILABLE LOCALLY!

Residents of Monroe suffering from chronic muscle and joint pain have a new non-surgical option: extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), a cutting edge treatment, is now being offered by Rehabilitation Specialists of Monroe, located at 905 N. Macomb Street, Suite 3, Monroe, Mi 48162.

Originally developed from technology used to break up kidney stones, shockwave therapy has evolved into a proven method for treating stubborn musculoskeletal conditions, sending high energy sound waves into injured tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes deep within the tissue, without incisions. This increases blood flow, promotes new vessel growth, boosts collagen production, helps dissolve painful calcifications and break up scar tissue, reduces inflammation and stimulates stem cells and growth factors essential for tissue repair.

This technology can be used for many conditions including plantar fasciitis (Heel Pain) Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff issues, tennis elbow, patellar tendinopathy and other chronic tendon or facia problems that haven’t responded to rest, physical therapy or injections. The treatments are performed outpatient, require no anesthesia and involve minimal discomfort or downtime. They last about 15-30 minutes and patients frequently see significant improvement after just 3-6 sessions.

Our purpose is to provide the increasing wellness of the individual, family and community through the wholistic delivery of Osteopathic Physical Medicine and related wellness programs.
