What we can treat

What is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?

Orthpedic Physical Therapy is just a fancy way of saying that we can help treat injuries that are a part of the muscoloskeltal system. This includes your bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These types of injuries are the ones that typically cause serious problems in your everyday life, but are entirely treatable.

Some common injuries that we treat are:

Our Treatment Method

How We Treat Pain

Every visit at our clinic will be entirely one-on-one with one of our certified Doctors of Physical Therapy. You always get the expert treatment and care throughout the entire session. After your evaluation, we determine the actual cause of your pain and establish a treatment plan to reduce or completely remove the pain. This is typically done through strengthening of vital, misunderstood muscles and rounding out your body’s functions. We never use medication or painful shots to treat your pain.
