General Practitioners

• Headaches
• Arthritis
  Rheumatoid arthritis, aka “inflammatory arthritis,” is also fairly common, although it is not as easily understood. Those suffering from arthritis typically report soreness around joints, which is worse after prolonged sitting, standing, or inactivity. Pain can get worse when you move, like when you bend your knees. You may notice popping or clicking sounds in the affected joint(s) with movement, and the joint may be sensitive or painful to the touch. Arthritis can also cause pain when you exercise or work, and the pain may go away after you stop doing that activity.
• Fibromyalgia
  Evidence supports cupping as an effective treatment method for several conditions, such as chronic neck pain, low back pain, and fibromyalgia.
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Ear Infections
• Emergency Care
  Did you know that 1/3 of the population over 65 falls each year? Every 11 seconds, an older adult is rushed to the emergency room for a fall. Every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall.
• Constipation
• Urinary Incontinence
  The many changes that your body goes through can cause back pain and pelvic floor issues. Muscle weakness may also lead to urinary incontinence and difficulty activating core muscles.

Gynecologists

  Endometriosis can affect the bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the pelvic region. Pelvic floor rehabilitation can help reduce the pain and bloating that you may be experiencing with endometriosis, in addition to strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.

Internists

• Urinary Tract Infection
  There are several reasons why someone may leak urine despite their control. Some short-term urinary incontinence may develop and disappear on its own due to a temporary condition, such as a urinary tract infection, vaginal infection, or constipation. Certain medications can even cause temporary bladder control problems that should clear up after use. However, if your urinary incontinence persists, it may be due to a larger underlying condition, such as...

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  If your hands, wrists, or forearms ache on a daily basis, or if typing and holding things has become particularly difficult and uncomfortable for you, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Multiple Sclerosis
  Urge incontinence. Urge incontinence is caused when there is a sudden and emergent need to urinate. Someone experiencing urge incontinence may not have enough time to make it to the toilet before leakage occurs. This type of bladder control problems is usually a result of diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or stroke.

• Depression
• Anxiety

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  We will focus on improving your posture to aid in the recovery of your neck muscles, as well as avoiding re-injury in the future. Additional treatment services may include ice and heat therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation, as our physical therapist deems fit.
• MRI
  Your plan will likely include manual therapy to increase your range of motion and reduce scar tissue, stretches to improve balance and mobility, and strengthening exercises to enhance the injured area, as well as its surrounding areas. This will be done after first performing a diagnostic exam, and your physical therapist may also review diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound. Treatment plans will take into account the nature of your injury, your fitness level, and your lifestyle. These are all done to help you recover after your sports injury and to prevent further injuries from occurring in the future.
• X-Rays
• Chemotherapy
  Neuropathy is a nerve disease that is commonly associated with diabetes, medication toxicity (e.g., chemotherapy), or circulation issues such as peripheral vascular disease.
• Iontophoresis
  Our programs are designed in a holistic manner. When dealing with wrist conditions, we address the entire upper extremity. Stretching and strengthening the neck, shoulder, elbow, and hand are frequently included in our treatment programs. Splinting, bracing, and modalities (such as heat, ice, laser, iontophoresis, or ultrasound) are also commonly used to relieve pain and ensure the best possible outcome.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
  Are you searching for sciatica pain relief? Disc herniations frequently cause pressure on the nerve, causing pain and inflammation of the sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatica. Sciatica (also known as lumbar radiculopathy) affects the nerves that exit the lower back and travel down the leg (L4-S3). (Femoral nerve radiculopathy in the front of the leg is far less common.)
• Whiplash
  Musculoskeletal headaches occur when there are significant amounts of tension in the neck. This is typically a result of physical imbalances, weaknesses, or damage, although emotional tension (such as stress) can also be a contributing factor. A traumatic injury to the neck, such as whiplash, is a common cause of musculoskeletal headaches. With neck injuries such as whiplash, the muscles and connective tissues in the neck can become torn or strained. This can lead to agonizing pain felt in the head, as well as in the face, shoulders, or neck.
• Arthroscopy
  A jaw specialist may also use a dental splint to keep teeth properly aligned and prevent tooth grinding. Other types of medical treatment include trigger point acupuncture, joint replacement, or a TMJ arthroscopy.
• Pinched Nerve
  Although sciatica is commonly described as a pinched nerve, the majority of cases are caused by inflammation. A compressed nerve in the lower back is a more serious condition that should be treated as soon as possible.
• Joint Replacement
  Our physical therapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating movement disorders, so you can find the relief you need. These disorders often occur following surgery, especially if a patient has undergone total joint replacement.
• Arthroscopy

• Frozen Shoulder
  Also known as “adhesive capsulitis,” frozen shoulder can occur if your arm has been in a case or sling for a while, or if you have been bedridden for an extended period of time. Furthermore, there are some ethnicities that are more predisposed, and women tend to have more instances than men. It is more common in women in the 40-60 years of age. Frozen shoulder results in a painful loss of motion in the shoulder with a tightening of the shoulder joint that severely limits motion.
• Tennis Elbow
  Tennis elbow may be caused by tendonitis or tendonosis. Tendinitis occurs when the tendons of the outer elbow (lateral epicondyle) become inflamed. If it is caused by repetitive tasks, it is more likely tendonitis, which does not respond to anti-inflammatory medication.
• Shoulder Pain
• Heel Pain
• Ankle Sprain
  When the ankle rolls, twists, or turns awkwardly to the outside of the ankle, a “sprain” occurs (i.e., lateral ankle sprain). The ligaments that support the ankle joint are partially or completely ripped as a result of this sudden stretch.
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Manual Therapy
  With joint mobilization, your physical therapist can use his or her hands to mobilize an affected joint or may elect to use certain tools, including straps, to help deliver the desired treatment effect.
• TMJ Dysfunction
  Do you have difficulty chewing or yawning? Do you experience jaw pain? Do you hear clicking noises when you open or close your mouth? If so, you may have TMJ dysfunction.
• Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Podiatrists

• Achilles Tendonitis
  Achilles tendonitis is frequently associated with an overuse or repetitive stress injury. Tendinitis occurs when the tendons become inflamed, causing swelling and pain, particularly when the affected area is moved.
• Ankle Sprain
  The degree of pain, inflammation, ability to move the joints, and time frame for healing and recovery will all be determined by the severity of the injury. Ankle injuries, regardless of how they occurred, should be evaluated by a physical therapist to begin rehabilitation and ensure no permanent damage has occurred.
• Flat Feet
  The arches in your foot are formed by several tendons working together with your bones and joints. Your foot will form a proper arch when the tendons pull together correctly, and your joints are stable.
• Heel Pain
• Foot Pain
• Plantar Fasciitis
  The plantar fascia is the long tissue at the bottom of your feet that connects the heel bone to the toes. Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that affects the bottom, inner aspect of the heel and worsens after periods of non-weight bearing (i.e., the morning after sleeping, after prolonged sitting).
