- SciaticaIf you have pain that starts in your lower back and radiates into your buttocks and travels down your leg, you could be experiencing sciatica pain. Sciatica’s technical name is “lumbar radiculopathy.” People who develop this condition are generally between the ages of 30 and 50. Many different types of injuries can cause the development of sciatica, including arthritis, bone spurs, or any other injury that impacts the sciatic nerve. Most commonly, we find that people lose their flexibility in the hips and pelvis, which causes the gluteus and hip muscles to become tightened. This, in turn, alters the mechanics of the spine, and compression of the sciatic nerve as it travels through these tissues.
- WhiplashTraumatic damage to the neck, such as whiplash, is a common cause of musculoskeletal headache. In the case of neck injuries such as whiplash, the muscles and connective tissues in the neck may become strained.

- Sports MedicineSports injuries can really set you back from your favorite activities and competitions. Furthermore, due to the high-speed nature of most sports injuries, the trauma to muscles, tissues, and joints can be severe. Common injuries include ligament sprains, muscle strains, and fractures. Do not wait until you are crippled with pain. The right physical therapy can effectively treat your sports injury to get you back to your activities pain-free and safely.
- Physical TherapyNebraska Orthopaedic Physical Therapy helps patients with many different conditions. Please see the diagram below for information on common conditions we treat and how physical therapy can help you.
- Frozen Shoulder
- Tennis ElbowPoor posture, and repetitive activities such as typing, gripping, and twisting can cause tightening in the muscles and tissues of the forearm. This can affect the mobility of the elbow, wrist, and even hands and can lead to chronic inflammation and irritation of the forearm (also known as Tennis Elbow), making it difficult to lift and move the arm.
- Shoulder Pain
- Flatfoot Correction
- Ankle SprainAcute pain is defined as pain that goes away on its own after a few hours, days, or weeks. A mild ankle sprain, for example, is considered acute because the pain usually goes away within a few days.
- Neck Pain
- Back Pain
- Aquatic TherapyMassage therapy, manual therapy, ultrasound, ice and cold therapy, individual exercises, targeted massage, stretching, and aquatic therapy are all types of physical therapy methods used to treat injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident.
- Manual TherapyThe Graston technique is another form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). It is a type of manual therapy that incorporates special ergonomic tools that are used to gently massage and scrape parts of the skin. Graston technique consists of using 6 different instruments to assist in soft tissue mobilization to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. These stainless steel instruments are used to heal injuries to the soft tissues, such as sprains, strains, subluxations, and repetitive use injuries. There are many benefits to this newer technique developed by athletes. As a patient, the Graston Technique can help decrease overall time of treatment, foster faster rehabilitation/recovery, can reduce the need for anti-inflammatory medications and assists in resolving chronic conditions thought to be permanent; these are just a few positives of this innovative technique.

- TMJ DysfunctionDo you have a hard time chewing or yawning? Do you feel pain in your jaw? When you open or close your mouth, do you hear a click? If so, you may have a TMJ, or “temporomandibular joint dysfunction.”
- Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy
- Achilles TendonitisOther potentially treatable conditions include patellofemoral knee pain, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, and bunions, as well as numerous systemic pathologies that (like diabetes) affect the function of the lower limbs.
- Ankle SprainSprains and strains are common injuries to the ankle, and they are frequently confused with one another! Sprains occur when a ligament is stretched or torn, whereas strains occur when a muscle or tendon is overstretched. Both of these ankle injuries should be evaluated by a medical professional to ensure that no long-term damage has occurred.
- Bunions Problems
- Flat FeetYour foot contains several tendons that work together to form your arch. When the tendons pull together properly, your foot will form a proper arch. However, when the tendons do not pull together properly, your foot will form a very small arch or no arch at all. This is referred to as “fallen arch” or “flat foot” and can cause pain or discomfort with time.
- Heel SpursMany of the same risk factors that cause plantar fasciitis can also cause heel spurs. This is a bony protrusion on the heel that is usually made of some sort of calcium build-up.
- Foot Pain
- MetatarsalgiaThis disorder is often caused by ill-fitting or restrictive footwear. This is a debilitating disease that affects the joints, bones, and the ball of the foot.
- Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis is an inflammation in the connective tissue on the bottom of your foot. This can occur from aggravated overuse, such as constant standing, improper posture, or footwear that lacks proper arch support.
