• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
  Predominant in young and middle-aged women, Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a musculoskeletal system disorder characterized by chronic pain and tender points. Tender points are specific places on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms, and legs. These points hurt when pressure is put on them.
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Cryotherapy
  Cryotherapy or Cold Therapy - used to cause vasoconstriction (the blood vessels constrict or decrease their diameter) to reduce the amount of fluid that leaks out of the capillaries into the tissue spaces (swelling) in response to injury of tissue. Ice or cold is used most frequently in acute injuries, but also an effective pain reliever for even the most chronic pain.
• Medical Weight Loss
  It is important that you obtain the appropriate diagnosis from your medical doctor. Once diagnosed with OA, there are some things that you can do to slow its progression. Weight loss, strengthening, physical therapy joint mobilization, aquatic exercise, ice when inflamed, heat with stiffness, and bracing the joint can all help. Ask your rehabilitation specialist which is best for you.
• Primary Care
  The patient is a 52-year-old-laborer, who was referred by his primary-care physician with a diagnosis of hip arthritis, which was confirmed by X-ray. The patient had a long history of back pain. When he came to Orland Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, he had low back pain n his right side, accompanied by pain in the right hip that traveled into his right leg just below the knee.
• Ear Infections
  Vertigo, in particular "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)", is a common disorder in which the patient complains of spinning and dizziness with rapid changes in head positions. BPPV is typically idiopathic (of unknown cause) in nature. Other reported causes are head trauma, vestibular neuritis (inflamed vestibulo-cochlear nerve), vertebrobasilar ischemia (inadequate blood flow to the brain), and inner ear infection.
• Constipation

Gynecologists

• Endometriosis
  Pelvic floor muscle tension or pain may occur in the anatomical sling of muscles which support the bladder, uterus and rectum. It can be caused by muscle imbalances, nerve or joint problems, scar tissue from surgery, childbirth, endometriosis or after radiation. Pelvic pain can also be caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures, organ prolapse or constipation.
• Pelvic Pain
• Pregnancy
• Labor and Delivery

Internists

• Ovarian Cancer
• Interstitial Cystitis

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Ultrasound - 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.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  For 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 physical therapist will provide you with the appropriate exercises not only for pain relief but to recover range of motion, strength, and endurance.
• X-Rays
• Iontophoresis
  Iontophoresis - medications are propelled through the skin by an electrical charge. This modality works on the physical concept that like charges repel each other, therefore, a positively charged medication will be repelled through the skin to the underlying tissues by the positively charged pad of an iontophoresis machine. Iontophoresis is usually prescribed for injuries such as shoulder or elbow bursitis.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
• Whiplash
• Wound Care
  Wound Care - Some therapists specialize in the treatment and care of wounds. This is accomplished by the removal of unviable tissue (debridement), the application of special dressings and prescription drugs/ointments, and the use of ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and aquatic modalities to promote healing. Exercise and patient education are also routine components of a wound care program.
• Joint Replacement
• Knee Replacement
  In some cases, physical 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 physical 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.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Aerobic Exercise - The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) defines aerobic exercise as "any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously, and is rhythmic in nature." Aerobic means in the presence of oxygen. In other words, your body is burning its fuel (glucose) in the presence of oxygen. It is performed at less than 85% of your maximum heart rate. An aerobically fit individual can work longer, more vigorously and achieve a quicker recovery at the end of the aerobic session. Jogging, cycling, swimming, aerobics classes, and rowing are examples of aerobic exercise.
• Physical Therapy
  We provide evidence based physical therapy by experts in the field of rehabilitation. We maintain strong relationships with physicians to allow for critical communication of rehab strategies. This promotes the rapid progression through healing stages to get patients back to daily activities more quickly. We provide physical therapy for the following but not limited to...
• Frozen Shoulder
  Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. In the frozen stage of the disorder, your shoulder's range of motion is dramatically reduced and you cannot move your arm.
• Tennis Elbow
• Shoulder Pain
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Aquatic Therapy
  Aquatic Physical 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.
• Manual Therapy
  Rebecca graduated from Ohlone College in Newark in 2013. Her professional interests involve massage, joint mobilization and instructing in therapeutic exercise to optimize proper movement. In her free time, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her two children. She loves to kayak, paddle board, dance, hike and bake.
