General Practitioners

• Arthritis
  Rheumatoid arthritis – the second-most common form of arthritis, in which auto-immune reactions target (in some cases, disfigure) the joints
• Fibromyalgia
  Cupping can sometimes be described as a “tissue distraction release” technique. During the cupping process, the cups are glided across different areas of the body in order to lift and separate tissue. This works to enhance the release of the interfaces between the neural tissues, fascia, skin, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. It relaxes muscles, releases trigger points, improves lymphatic flow, increases local circulation, and releases scar tissue adhesion. Evidence supports cupping as an effective treatment method for several conditions, such as chronic neck pain, low back pain, and fibromyalgia.
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Medical Weight Loss
  Regardless of the cause of arthritis, physical therapy plays a major role in the treatment of its symptoms. Your physical therapist will conduct a physical evaluation to analyze your joint movement, muscle strength, and overall function, in order to pinpoint the exact areas that are causing you pain. You will then be prescribed a personalized treatment plan, focused around your specific needs. Treatment plans will include targeted stretches and exercises aimed at relieving your pain and improving your function, in addition to any specialized methods your physical therapist deems fit. This may include manual therapy, ice and heat therapies, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound. Your physical therapist may also include additional services as needed, such as weight management techniques to help ease some stress on your joints, and/or posture improvement to relieve stiffness and prevent injury.
• Stroke Rehabilitation
  Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults. Physical therapy can help relieve the effects of a stroke by working to improve balance, walking, and the use of assistive devices. Common therapies for post-stroke rehabilitation include constraint-induced movement therapy, functional electrical stimulation, motor image, partial body weight support, and neurotherapy techniques, such as biofeedback. Biofeedback is a type of neurological therapy that helps improve awareness of muscle function and how it may need to be changed. This is done by attaching electrodes to the skin in order to measure muscle activity on a screen. After a stroke, our physical therapist can help you regain your functional skills so you can get back to living your life independently.
• Sleep Disorders
• Emergency Care
  Falls are a major health concern among older adults. More than one-third of older adults fall each year and fall rates tend to increase with advancing age. Falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, the most common cause of non-fatal injuries, and the most common reason for hospital admission due to trauma in older adults. In fact, 95% of hip fractures are caused by falls and every hour there is one death and over 180 emergency department visits for fall-related injuries.
• Constipation
• Urinary Incontinence
  A physical therapist can help determine the root of your problem with urinary incontinence, rather than simply treating the symptoms. Pelvic floor rehabilitation will focus on strengthening the muscles under your bladder in order to treat and eliminate incontinence issues.

Neurologists

• Neurology
  Neurotherapy helps determine the areas that need work, while physical therapy helps carry out those tasks. By participating in physical therapy treatments following a neurological injury, you can improve your function, perform targeted activities, and regain your independence much faster. PTs specializing in neurology work with patients who have a wide range of neurological disorders, including, but not limited to...
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  This condition occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the hand, becomes compressed as it passes through a narrow passageway in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. This can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers and may be exacerbated by typing or repetitive hand movements.
• Multiple Sclerosis
  Neurological Conditions: Stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis are some neurological conditions that can cause balance disorders. These conditions can result in impaired coordination, muscle weakness, and sensory deficits, causing loss of balance.

  Our NYC area Sports physical therapists are movement specialists, fully equipped to create the best-personalized treatment plan for your needs. At your initial appointment, you will undergo a comprehensive evaluation to assess your injury. This helps us decide the best course of action for treatment. Some diagnostic tests, such as an X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI may be recommended, in order to determine the root cause of your pain, so we can come to the best possible solution for your recovery. All athletes will additionally undergo a slow-motion video analysis to determine movement flaws to fully correct the injury and prevent re-injury.
• X-Rays
• Iontophoresis
  A hand therapist can provide conservative management for the treatment of tennis elbow, with the goal of returning the patient back to normal work, home, and sports activities. A therapist can help identify what activities might aggravate symptoms, and discuss activity modifications. Orthotics for the wrist may be recommended to rest the wrist extensors. Postural exercises are emphasized along with stretching and strengthening of the shoulder, elbow wrist, and hand. Modalities may be utilized such as heat, cold laser, iontophoresis, ultrasound, and massage.

• Sciatica
  Sciatica can be the result of conditions that compress or irritate the sciatic nerve. In some cases, sciatica may also be caused by pregnancy, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, or poor posture. Depending on the underlying cause, the severity of sciatica symptoms can significantly impact your quality of life.
• Whiplash
  Head and back injuries from a car wreck are typically the most serious. Head injuries can lead to vision problems, skull fractures, and concussions. With a concussion, you may experience dizziness and headaches. Another common car accident injury is a herniated disk. Neck and chest injuries are also common, with whiplash being the most common accident injury. Whiplash can be very painful and restrict movement. The sudden movement of the neck and head in a car accident can cause whiplash. Blunt force trauma from a car accident can collapse lungs and break ribs.
• Arthroscopy
  Sometimes, home remedies can relieve the symptoms of TMJ syndrome. Some people respond well to over-the-counter meds like ibuprofen and aspirin. Ice packs applied to the jaw joint may also help. Sedative essential oils, such as clary sage and lavender may give temporary relief. When home remedies don’t work, medical treatment may be needed. A jaw specialist may use a dental splint to keep teeth properly aligned and to prevent tooth grinding. Other types of medical treatment include trigger point acupuncture, joint replacement or a TMJ arthroscopy. Muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory meds may be prescribed.
• Joint Replacement
  We have some of the most highly trained physical therapists in the NYC area. They are movement experts, equipped to diagnose and treat painful conditions and disorders. Many of the disorders they treat occur following surgical procedures, especially a total joint replacement. However, physical therapy is also an effective treatment method for injuries, accidents, or illnesses – essentially, anything that makes you feel weak and unable to function at your optimum physical level.

• Sports Medicine
  “Sports injury” is a term that can be used to describe any injury sustained while exercising or performing some sort of athletic activity. There are two ways in which sports injuries can occur: suddenly, such as one football player colliding with another, or over time, through repetitive motions, such as improperly lifting heavy weights at the gym or running with poor form. Simply put anything that results in pain while performing physical activity can be considered a sports injury.

• Frozen Shoulder
  Medically referred to as “adhesive capsulitis,” a frozen shoulder can occur if you have been bedridden for an extended period of time or if your arm has been in a cast or sling for a while. When you don’t have opportunities to exercise the shoulder, the tissues can stiffen up on you, thus causing this painful condition to occur.
• Tennis Elbow
  Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, lateral tendinosis, or lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that involves tendons located around the outside of the elbow. These tendons, which anchor muscle to the bone, work to extend the wrist or fingers. Over time these tendons degenerate, weakening the attachment site and placing a strain on the muscles.
• Shoulder Pain
• Flatfoot Correction
• Heel Pain
• Ankle Sprain
  Ankle Sprain: One of the most prevalent causes of ankle pain is a sprain, which occurs when the ligaments that support and help to stabilize the ankle are stretched or torn. This injury often results from a sudden twist or impact and can cause swelling, bruising, limited mobility, and difficulty walking.
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Aquatic Therapy
  Physical therapists can even treat vertigo due to a car accident. In as little as one treatment, they can fix a dysfunction in the vestibular system. Types of physical therapy include massage, manual manipulation, ultrasound, ice and cold therapy, specific exercises, targeted massage, stretching, and aquatic therapy. It’s a holistic approach to healing after being in a car accident. In addition to treatment after a car accident injury, physical therapists can provide services for pulmonary rehab, neurologic rehab, cardiovascular, orthopedic, and post-op care.
• Manual Therapy
  Have you recently sustained an injury? Are you recovering from a surgical procedure? Is your illness or ailment causing you aches and pains? If so, you would likely benefit from manual therapy treatments.
• TMJ Dysfunction
  The temporomandibular joint connects the jaw to the skull. If there is an injury to this joint or it becomes damaged, it can cause TMJ syndrome. TMJ Dysfunction can also be caused by a misalignment of the teeth, gum chewing, arthritis, teeth grinding, or jaw injury. Symptoms of this TMJ disorder include pain in the jaw, jaw popping, headaches, sore jaw muscles, locking of the jaw, pain in the temple, and earache. It’s important to realize that the temporomandibular joint is a complex and important structure comprised of bones, tendons, and muscles, and you may have pain on one or both sides of the jaw.
