St. Francis Rehab & Sports Medicine: Shakopee

At St. Francis Rehab and Sports Medicine, we offer personal care for most musculoskeletal and medical conditions. Our physical and occupational therapy services are designed to quickly reduce pain and restore your function. Pain as a symptom, is merely the body’s alarm system to alert you that attention is needed in a specific body region. Pain is similar to the smoke detector in your home, it only detects smoke (the effect), not fire, which is the root cause of the alarm. Merely shutting off the alarm (i.e. the use of pain medications, store bought remedies or, anti-inflammatories) will not put out the fire or treat the cause of the problem, but it may actually reduce your ability to address the problem as it spreads.
