- ArthritisArthritis is an umbrella term used to describe conditions affecting the joints and surrounding tissues. The two most common types are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OA tends to occur with aging or after a joint injury and predominantly affects the fingers, knees, and hips. On the other hand, RA is an autoimmune disorder that primarily targets the lining of the joints, leading to painful swelling, which can eventually result in joint deformity.
- FibromyalgiaSometimes, cupping can be described as a “tissue distraction” technique. Cupping involves moving the cups across the body to lift and separate tissue. This helps to increase the release of interfaces between neural tissues, fascia and skin, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and other structures. It can relax muscles, release trigger points, increase lymphatic flow, increase local circulation, and release scar tissue adhesion. There is evidence that cupping can be used to treat fibromyalgia, chronic neck pain, and low back pain.
- Plantar FasciitisPlantar Fasciitis is a common problem that can cause pain in your feet. It happens when a part of your foot called the plantar fascia gets irritated and inflamed. The plantar fascia is a long, thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom..
- Stroke RehabilitationGait training is an essential part of stroke rehabilitation, as it helps patients regain their ability to walk. Physical therapists may use various techniques, such as treadmill training, walking on different surfaces, or using assistive devices, such as canes or walkers, to help patients improve their gait. Gait training can help patients regain their independence and improve their quality of life.
- Pediatric CareNow you can see our dilemma. Pediatrics was not my specialty so I called a friend from college who worked at Shriner’s Hospital in Salt Lake City to ask her opinion. I told her what was going on and she asked me, “Why don’t you come to Shriner’s?â€
- Primary CarePhysical therapy can effectively reduce or eliminate pain in your elbows, wrists, and hands. It can even help you avoid surgery. According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), manual physical therapy may even work better than surgery for conditions such as carpal tunnel. Often a physical therapist will work in conjunction with your primary care doctor to identify the root cause of your pain. A physical therapist will evaluate your condition which can include assessing your flexibility and strength. After a complete evaluation has been made a physical therapist will put together an individualized program to treat your pain. Exercise and stretching may be included to improve your strength and increase your range of motion. A physical therapist may also use heat and ice therapy, massage treatment, or electrical stimulation.
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCarpal tunnel – This condition occurs in the wrist where tendons and a primary nerve run along the forearm to the hand. There is extensive pressure on the median nerve that causes pain in your hand. Symptoms can include numbness, burning, and pain throughout the hand. There may be a pain in the wrist that extends to the elbow. You might experience a weakened grip and have problems lifting items. The hand may also become swollen.
- Multiple SclerosisThe resistance of the water provides a gentle and effective way to exercise and stretch the muscles, which can help improve flexibility and range of motion. This is particularly beneficial for people with conditions that limit their mobility, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral palsy.
- Stress ManagementOur practice takes a holistic approach, focusing not just on the site of pain or injury but on the overall well-being of our patients. We address lifestyle factors, ergonomics, nutritional advice, and provide strategies for stress management, all of which play a vital role in the recovery process.
- Mental HealthIf you or someone you know is struggling with joint hypermobility, it’s important to seek professional help. Early intervention can help to manage the symptoms of HSD and prevent further injuries. And remember, it’s not just about managing the physical symptoms – having HSD can also take a toll on mental health. Therefore, comprehensive treatment should also include psychological support and coping strategies.

- UltrasoundManual or “hands-on” therapy is the most common treatment for neck pain. This involves special techniques that reduce stiffness and increase the range of motion. You will also be provided with targeted exercises by our physical therapists that will strengthen, develop, and improve your neck’s tissues and muscles. To help your neck muscles recover, we will work to improve your posture and prevent future injuries. Our physical therapist may also recommend additional treatments such as ice and heat, ultrasound, or electric stimulation.
- X-Rays
- SciaticaBack pain and sciatica differ but are often confused with each other. The back is specific to the upper, mid, or low back. Sciatica is a more diffuse, radiating pain down the buttock, thigh, and even leg. It is also possible to have radiculopathy, which is a radiating numbness, tingling, burning, or sharp pain in a specific part of the leg. This is often associated with a herniated disc, or entrapment of the nerve of that area, as it exits the spine.
- WhiplashInjuries. Whiplash, which results in neck pain and is most commonly caused by an automobile collision or high-impact sports collision, is the most common injury. This is called a “strain injury” and causes the head to whip back and forth, causing damage to the soft tissues at the back of your neck.
- Wound CareOur hand therapy program is versatile, covering various conditions from acute injuries to chronic illnesses. For acute injuries such as hand fractures, sprains, or cuts, our therapists apply immediate and effective treatment strategies to mitigate pain and kickstart the healing process. They provide manual therapy, wound care, edema control, and custom splinting to immobilize the hand and enhance recovery.
- Pinched NerveApart from the longer timeframe, chronic pain differs from the other main category of pain — acute pain — in that it doesn’t always have a cause you can pinpoint. In fact, while acute pain normally comes from a sudden illness or injury, chronic pain might stem from a wrenched back that happened so long ago that you don’t remember. Alternatively, your pain may have its origins from non-injury conditions, such as a degenerating disk, aging joints, or a pinched nerve.

- Tennis ElbowDry needling is backed by scientific research as well as a modern Western medical practice. Dry needling is a neurophysiological evidence-based treatment technique and an effective treatment for chronic pain and other musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendonitis, reduced range of motion, repetitive motion disorders, like carpal tunnel syndrome, scar-tissue buildup, disk, and spinal problems, myofascial pain, and a lot more. To achieve the full effects of dry needling, most patients require at least two or three sessions in the office, however, others may require up to six office visits. Depending on your condition, dry needling can be performed once or twice a week.

- Manual TherapyYour treatment plan will typically include a combination of specialized hands-on manual therapy techniques, exercises, and stretching, in order to restore joint mobility, improve balance, and strengthen the foot and ankle muscles.
- 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 a “fallen arch†or “flat foot†and can cause pain or discomfort with time.
