- ArthritisArthritis is any chronic condition that affects the joints and causes pain, inflammation, and, in most cases, joint breakdown. According to the Arthritis Foundation, there are over 100 different types of arthritis. The two most common types of arthritis, however, are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, which can affect a single joint or multiple joints at the same time.
- FibromyalgiaPain can be expected occasionally. Pain is usually an alarm signaling your body to some type of irritation or potential injury. For example, you could be sore from overexertion or stubbed your toe on furniture. Most of the time, it will go away on its own, or you can take Tylenol or ibuprofen and continue your day. Unfortunately, some people’s pain does not resolve, resulting in chronic pain. A specific type of chronic pain accompanied by fatigue, mood changes, or irregular sleep patterns may indicate fibromyalgia, a chronic illness.

Prostatitis, postpartum pelvic pain, pain after abdominal surgery, dyspareunia, and endometriosis are some of the most common pelvic conditions treated by our physical therapists.
- Pelvic Pain
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryPelvic pain is not to be taken lightly. The pelvic region is an important part of the body that serves many functions, especially for women. Pelvic pain can occur at any point during your menstrual cycle, during pregnancy, after childbirth, or as a result of an underlying condition.
- Prostate CancerPelvic floor rehabilitation is essential for men and women of all ages. Our physical therapists at Maccio Physical Therapy can assist you with incontinence, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction, regardless of whether your condition is the result of reconstruction surgery, abdominal surgery, prostate cancer treatments, pregnancy, or childbirth.

- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeDo you notice your hands and fingers ache daily or that typing and holding things with your hands has become particularly difficult or uncomfortable? If so, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Multiple SclerosisBalance deficits can result from physical conditions such as injuries or arthritis in the feet, knees, or hips. Balance problems may also be caused by neurological conditions. Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis, for example, can cause balance loss and nerve injuries from spine disorders or peripheral neuropathies. In some cases, changes in balance are more mental in nature, implying that people’s fear influences how they move.
- Anxiety
- Diabetes Care
- UltrasoundJaw exercises, soft tissue massage, joint mobilization, myofascial methods, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound may all be part of your treatment plan. Our therapists will go to any length to get you the results you deserve!

- IontophoresisOur programs are designed in a holistic manner. When dealing with wrist conditions, we address the entire upper extremity. Stretching and strengthening the neck, shoulder, elbow, and hand are frequently included in our treatment programs. Splinting, bracing, and modalities (such as heat, ice, laser, iontophoresis, or ultrasound) are also commonly used to relieve pain and ensure the best possible outcome.
- SciaticaAre you searching for sciatica relief? Disc herniations frequently cause pressure on the nerve, causing pain and inflammation of the sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatica. Sciatica (also known as lumbar radiculopathy) affects the nerves that exit the lower back and travel down the leg (L4-S3). (Femoral nerve radiculopathy in the front of the leg is far less common.)
- WhiplashThe violent nature of an accident can result in severe head, neck, and back injuries, as well as injuries to multiple regions of the body at the same time. There are also instances where the accident appeared minor, but the damage was significant and long-lasting, as with head trauma and whiplash.
- Pinched NerveAlthough sciatica is commonly described as a pinched nerve, the majority of cases are caused by inflammation. A compressed nerve in the lower back is a more serious condition that should be treated as soon as possible.
- Orthopedic SurgeryIf you are recovering from a recent surgical procedure, such as abdominal, reproductive, or orthopedic surgery, you may experience pain in the pelvic region (i.e., spine or hip joint).

- Tennis ElbowTennis elbow may be caused by tendonitis or tendinosis. Tendinitis occurs when the tendons of the outer elbow (lateral epicondyle) become inflamed. If it is caused by repetitive tasks, it is more likely tendonitis, which does not respond to anti-inflammatory medication.
- Slipped Disc“I have had back pain on and off since 2007. I was diagnosed with a slipped disc. We called Maccio PT and have been very impressed. When I came to my first appointment, my pain level was an 8-9 with pain going down my left leg. After 2 weeks of doing the exercises, the pain has stayed out of my leg and my pain level is 1-2. I am only 16 and thought I was done with sports and dance. I am going back to my first dance class in five months. I would recommend them to anybody who has any back pain.”

- Ankle SprainThe degree of pain, inflammation, ability to move the joints, and time frame for healing and recovery will all be determined by the severity of the injury. Ankle injuries, regardless of how they occurred, should be evaluated by a physical therapist to begin rehabilitation and ensure no permanent damage or loss of function has occurred.
