- Osteoporosis
- ArthritisAquatic Therapy – Aquatic therapy takes advantage of the physical properties of water to assist with the rehabilitative process. Buoyancy, turbulence, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal properties of water can assist with the rehabilitation of a patient. Those suffering from chronic pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbar fusion surgery, or with a limited weight-bearing status are just a few of the many different patient populations that can benefit from aquatic therapy.
- FibromyalgiaE-Stim therapy is a therapy technique that can be used for a variety of issues, from stroke rehabilitation to dealing with pain as a result of fibromyalgia. E-Stim therapy sends a mild electrical pulse through your skin to help stimulate injured muscles or manipulate nerves to reduce pain. It is a painless procedure that can accelerate recovery and provide relief. The electrical pulses stimulate muscle contractions, improving blood flow and helps repair injured muscles.
- Stroke RehabilitationBrain injury due to stroke can change the way you move, feel, think, or speak. The effects are most significant right after the stroke. Over time, most people will make improvements. Stroke rehabilitation programs can help, though these programs will not “cure” or reverse brain damage.
- Pediatric CareTaking pride in being a company that “Does It All”, we offer a wide array of clinical programs and specialties. These programs service individuals from pediatrics to geriatrics.
- Constipation
- Urinary IncontinencePelvic floor physical therapy is recommended as a first-line remedy for many disorders of the pelvic region. Both men and women with weakness in pelvic floor muscles can perform exercises to strengthen the floor and enhance bladder and bowel control. Specifically, a physician will refer a patient for therapy if pelvic floor dysfunction is suspected of having a neuromuscular cause. The dysfunction may result from aging, illness, childbirth, surgery, or other conditions and may coexist with other genitourinary problems, such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, bladder-emptying issues, and constipation. The team at Burger Physical Therapy can help you overcome pelvic floor issues and help you regain a better quality of life.

- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryPelvic floor dysfunction, including pain and incontinence, can affect women of all ages. Studies show that young women involved in high-impact sports such as gymnastics are at high risk for experiencing urinary incontinence during their sport. Even in the CrossFit world, urinary incontinence is a well-known problem during high-intensity workouts. Other women may experience incontinence as a result of childbirth, hormonal changes, or surgery. Pelvic pain is a common and under-diagnosed problem in women of all ages. Therapists at Burger Physical Therapy are trained to identify the contributing musculoskeletal factors to address the underlying causes of their pain and restore wellness.
- Interstitial Cystitis
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeUltrasound – ultrasound uses a high frequency sound wave emitted from the sound head when electricity is passed through a quartz crystal. The sound waves cause the vibration of water molecules deep within tissue causing a heating effect. When the sound waves are pulsed, they cause a vibration of the tissue rather than heating. The stream of sound waves helps with nutrition exchange at the cellular level and healing. Studies have shown that ultrasound is helpful for ligament healing and clinically, for carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscle spasm.
- AutismChildren with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental delays sometimes have challenges moving through their spaces successfully, daily. These kids often need extra support to develop gross motor skills. At Burger Pediatric Therapy, we do this through the process of play. Our fun, gym-like play area, and exercises are designed to build strength, mobility, balance, coordination, endurance, and most of all, confidence.
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)Children with developmental delays, including those with related neurobehavioral disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, often have social, emotional, or behavioral delays. Due to differences in brain development, they may process information or react to their environment differently than children of the same age. These delays can impact a child’s ability to learn, communicate, and interact with others.
- Diabetes Care
- UltrasoundFor many patients, one of the primary objectives is pain relief. This is frequently accomplished with hands-on techniques, modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and/or heat or cold therapy. Movement often provides pain relief as well. Your therapist will provide you with the appropriate exercises not only for pain relief but to recover range of motion, strength, and endurance.
- MRIPlease bring copies of your relevant medical history. This may include surgical reports and recent tests such as X-ray’s, MRI and or CT-scans.
- RadiologyKathy has 18 years of experience in the healthcare industry, having spent over 17 years with a local radiology group before joining Burger in 2008.

- SciaticaTraction, specifically in lumbar traction, may help separate the spaces between your vertebrae, which help reduce pressure off pinched nerves. Traction techniques combined with other physical therapy exercises may offer you relief from low back pain and sciatica. Burger Physical Therapy can personalize a comprehensive plan to offer you comfort from your low back pain.
- WhiplashMcConnell taping is most commonly used for patellofemoral syndrome, shoulder stabilization, and chronic low back pain. It can also offer pain relief from whiplash injuries, headaches, shoulder issues and knee ligament instability. The tape used in the McConnell method is rigid and is applied for up to 18 hours. Your Burger Physical therapist can help determine if this taping technique will offer you joint support and pain relief.
- Wound Care
- Joint ReplacementGeriatric physical therapy is an umbrella term for a broad range of issues. The team at Burger Physical Therapy can address osteoporosis, arthritis, Alzheimer’s cases, joint replacement therapy, balance and gait disorders, and neurological disorders.
- Knee ReplacementIn some cases, therapy techniques can be painful. For example, recovering knee range of motion after total knee replacement or shoulder range of motion after shoulder surgery may be painful. Your therapist will utilize a variety of techniques to help maximize your treatment goals. It is important that you communicate the intensity, frequency, and duration of pain to your therapist. Without this information, it is difficult for the therapist to adjust your treatment plan.

- Occupational TherapyHow kiddos use their bodies to play, with help from movement and musculoskeletal specialists. The results are that this occupational therapy builds day-to-day life skills. Though there is some rollover, PT hones in on gross motor skills, and OT mostly sharpens fine motor skills. The two therapies are incredibly complementary and are often both recommended in the treatment plan.
- Tennis ElbowElbow injuries account for 7% of all sports injuries. Tennis elbow affects the forearm muscles and the tendon the connects the muscles to the elbow bones—in other words, the muscles that bend the wrist backward and cause the wrist to turn the palm face up. When overused—as in sports like tennis and golf—these muscles become inflamed. It’s called tennis elbow because the backhand tennis stroke is a common culprit in this injury. Golfers experience pain in the non-dominant arm as the forearm pulls the club through the swing. The best prevention is to re-situate the body positioning to take the stress off the elbow. Forearm-strengthening exercises may also help, such as squeezing a soft rubber ball. Treatment may be as simple as ice and anti-inflammatory medication, but severe and repeated strain may require a break from the sport.
- Ankle SprainBalance and proprioception therapy exercises help to develop strength and increase mobility. These exercises can also help stabilize joints and improve overall coordination. Burger physical therapists can identify your issues, and design a program that fits your needs, whether it is injury prevention, or recovering from an injury such as an ankle sprain. It can also be an important part of recovery and rehab from surgery of the knee or hips. Working with a Burger physical therapist will offer you benefits over the long term, and can eliminate the need for assistive devices.

- Aquatic TherapyIf you chose aquatic therapy, please bring a swim suit and or appropriate attire. We do not allow the use of “cut off jeans” in our pool as the torn fibers can clog our filters. It may also be valuable to bring a pair of water shoes to wear not only in the pool but also the locker room area.
- Manual TherapyBurger physical therapists may use various research-based treatment options, including manual therapy, exercise prescription, biofeedback, and neuromuscular reeducation to restore normal joint mobility, improve muscular balance and control, and teach improved movement patterns. An emphasis is always on teaching the patient how to help themselves and prevent new injury or problems.

- Ankle SprainAnkle sprains are common among athletes who jump, run, and turn quickly, including soccer, hockey, basketball, and volleyball players. The quick movements lead to a twisted ankle (stretched ligaments) or sprained ankle (partial or full tear), often when the foot rolls to the outside instead of landing squarely on the sole. The ankle may swell up and turn black and blue; if it can still bear some weight, it’s probably not broken, but an x-ray can rule out a hair-line fracture. You shouldn’t need to rest for more than a day; as soon as it’s tolerable, perform range-of-motion and strengthening exercises, such as spelling the alphabet with your foot (using only your ankle), gentle kicking in a pool, and carefully balancing on the affected leg. Prevent ankle sprains by—you guessed it—strengthening the muscles, particularly the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, all of which promote stability. A lace-up or compression ankle brace can also help, especially with weak ankles.
