AposTherapy and Ahava Medical & Rehabilitation Center Bring a Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Solution to Knee and Lower Back Pain Sufferers in Brooklyn -…

Brooklyn, N.Y., Feb. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AposTherapy and Ahava Medical & Rehabilitation Center have partnered to bring Brooklyn residents suffering from knee and lower back pain a non-invasive, drug-free alternative to surgery. The AposTherapy program is now offered at Ahava Medical & Rehabilitation Brooklyn (Williamsburg), located at 16 Sumner Place, Brooklyn, NY 11206.

AposTherapy works on biomechanical and neuromuscular levels, combining a treatment program and a foot-worn, patented medical device that patients wear for approximately an hour a day while going about their regular routine. The treatment addresses the underlying causes of the pain by reducing load on the painful areas of the knee and re-training muscles. Over time, AposTherapy corrects abnormal walking patterns even when not actively wearing the device.

Clinical studies have shown significant reduction in pain and improvement in function and quality of life, as well as significant reduction in the use of pain medications like opioids.

"There is a growing need for a non-surgical and opioid-free knee and lower back pain treatment," said Dr. Cliff Bleustein, President and CEO of AposTherapy. "Ahava Medical & Rehabilitation Center is well known for their innovative approach to patient care, and partnering with AposTherapy will allow them to bring more personalized care to their community. The treatment is effective and convenient, giving the patient the power and freedom that comes with restored mobility and a healthier life."
