E20 Spine and Wellness

Hello and welcome to E20 Spine and Wellness! I am Scott Eckardt, originally from Babylon, New York . I received my physical therapy degree from S.U.N.Y. Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY in 1998. In today's medical model, people often go to their primary care physician and or orthopedic M.D. for musculoskeletal pain. Ultimately, they are prescribed various anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants or even topical solutions to deal with their problem. However, most musculoskeletal pain can be classified as "Mechanical Pain", or pain that is created with repeated postures, movements or trauma . This is the reason why many if not all people never fully resolve their issues with medications alone. That's where a mechanical physical therapy examination comes into play: MECHANICAL PROBLEMS REQUIRE MECHANICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND MECHANICAL SOLUTIONS. MDT (Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy) is an evidenced based treatment approach that utilizes cause and effect analysis with ongoing assessment in order to provide the best outcomes. I am credentialed in MDT through the McKenzie Institute, USA. Most of my patients in the clinic have fully resolved in as little as 3 visits. I am excited to bring this skill set to a virtual platform. For the past 28 years, I have specialized in treatment of spine and various extremity conditions. It has been my observation that the majority of orthopedic conditions can be handled with proper instruction and not necessarily requiring an in person office visit. I am here to show you how..... Lets Go!
