Pinpoint Your Pain and Take the First Step Toward Recovery

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients suffering pain from: 

  • Turning their head while crossing the street or driving.
  • Headaches that make concentrating difficult.  
  • Head and neck pain that makes working difficult.  
  • Dizziness that makes them feel unsafe or unwell.

Head and neck pain are common and can affect your ability to think, work and even sleep. Whether it’s chronic headaches, acute neck pain, or problems with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), these issues can wreak havoc on your daily life.   However ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious problems down the road like:

  • Cervical degeneration (wear and tear) on the spine
  • Radiating pain shooting, burning, tingling, or numb sensations that extend from the neck down the arm and into the hands and fingers. 
  • Joint stiffness limiting the range of motion of your neck and muscle imbalances
  • Worsening any underlying issues like disc herniation

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your head and neck pain. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your neck pain. 
  • Conduct a movement analysis covering range of motion and observing how you stand and sit to see if your posture is contributing to the pain.  
  • Assess your muscles and tissues and if necessary test your reflexes & strength in your arms to make sure nerves aren’t pinched.  
  • If you have X-rays or MRIs, they’ll review the structures in your neck.

This comprehensive evaluation allows us to create a personalized treatment plan to resolve your neck pain.  Once into the course of treatment we’ll guide you through targeted exercises to reduce pain, strengthen muscles, and return your head and neck to its full range of motion.  So if you’re struggling with persistent pain, a free discovery call with a physical therapist can help. You can discuss your pain, ask questions, and learn about treatment options. It’s a chance to take the first step towards a pain-free life and rediscover the joy of movement.

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients: 

  • Having trouble bathing and dressing due to their shoulder pain. 
  • Having shoulder pain lifting and carrying their kids.
  • Having shoulder pain pushing up from the bed.
  • Unable to exercise or work out like they used to due to shoulder pain.

Shoulder pain is common whether it stems from injuries, overuse, and even referred pain from the neck or back. Because the shoulder is involved in most all upper body movements, it’s vulnerable to anything affecting it’s ligaments, bursae (fluid-filled cushioning sacs), bones, cartilage, or tendons.  Ignoring shoulder pain can often result in:

  • Limiting your ability to perform even daily tasks such as bathing, dressing or combing your hair.  
  • Frozen shoulder where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and restricts movement.  
  • Muscle imbalances where some muscles become weak and others overcompensate and tighten, limiting your range of motion and ability to lift, reach, or rotate your arm.
  • Exacerbating what might be a minor rotator cuff or labrum (a ring of cartilage) tear to a larger tear, potentially requiring surgery. 
  • Contributing to headaches and making it difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your shoulder pain. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your shoulder pain. 
  • Observe your posture & movement patterns to assess your range of motion and look for any issues that might contribute to shoulder pain during simple tasks like reaching, lifting, etc.
  • Check for visible signs of inflammation or injury and gently touch muscles, tendons and other tissues to identify tightness or inflammation, assess joint alignment and identify any abnormalities.  
  • Make a functional assessment covering testing for muscle strength to identify any weaknesses and assess the condition of your rotator cuff and labral.
  • Check for reflexes or numbness or tingling in your arm or hand to rule out nerve involvement.

The results of these assessments enable us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your shoulder issues and tailor a treatment plan that helps you regain full pain-free shoulder function. We’ll guide you through targeted exercises to improve your shoulder’s strength, mobility, and stability as you learn strategies for also improving your posture and body mechanics.

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients: 

  • Having trouble bathing and dressing due to your arm pain. 
  • Having arm pain lifting and carrying their kids.
  • Having arm pain pushing up from the bed.
  • Unable to exercise or work out like they used to due to arm pain. 

Be it due to injuries, overuse, or arthritis, our physical therapist can help figure out the origins of your arm pain and get you back to moving normally.  Arm pain is often caused by issues with the muscles, tendons, and joints in your arm. Overdoing it with exercise or repetitive motions can lead to strains, sprains, and tendonitis, causing pain and inflammation. Bursitis, which affects the fluid-filled sacs cushioning your joints, is another common source of arm pain.  Also, pinched nerves in your neck or shoulder can send shooting pains, numbness, or tingling down your arm and into your hand and of course arthritis in the joints of your arm can cause pain, stiffness, and inflammation.   Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious problems down the road like:

  • Increased muscle imbalances further restricting movement and increasing pain.
  • Chronic pain as what starts as minor discomfort with continued use amounting to ‘overuse” and conditions like Tennis Elbow affecting the tendons on the outer side of your elbow and Golfer’s Elbow, similar to tennis elbow, but on the inner side of the elbow.  
  • Muscle strains due to overexertion or injury affecting any muscle in the arm (biceps, triceps, forearm muscles).

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your arm pain. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your arm pain. 
  • Observe your arm’s posture, alignment and appearance for visible signs of injury to look for any issues that might contribute to arm pain.  This may include gently pressing on muscles, tendons, and bones in your arm to find any tender or swollen spots. 
  • Gently move your arm in different directions to assess pain-free range of motion and this may include some strength tests.
  • Check your arm reflexes and sensation in your hand and fingers to rule out nerve involvement.
  • If you have X-rays or MRIs, they’ll review the structures in your arm.

The results of these assessments enable us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your arm issues and tailor a treatment plan that helps you regain full pain-free function of your arm.

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients: 

  • Having difficulty typing and writing due to wrist and hand pain.  
  • Unable to lift or carry things because of their wrist and hand pain. 
  • Having difficulty opening a jar or cooking due to wrist and hand pain.

Wrist and hand pain is common due to lots of small bones, a network of ligaments, a complex tendon & nerve system.  While this complexity enables for a wide range of movements, it also makes the area susceptible to overuse and repetitive motion injuries.  These injuries can also include fractures, tendon problems, nerve compression like carpal tunnel syndrome and joint issues like osteoarthritis.  Even pain originating in your neck, back, or shoulder can sometimes be felt in your wrist and hand.  Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious problems down the road like:

  • Reduced hand and finger flexibility, dexterity and range of motion making it difficult to perform tasks like turning a doorknob, buttoning clothes,  holding utensils, gripping a steering wheel or other objects.
  • Worsening injury as symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand can lead to worsening nerve compression in the carpal tunnel, potentially requiring surgery.
  • Worsening tendonitis (inflammation of the tendons) in the wrist or hand can become chronic, weakening the tendons, making them more susceptible to a complete rupture or tear. This is a serious injury that often requires surgery to repair.

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your wrist and hand pain. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your wrist and hand pain. 
  • Observe your wrist and hand’s posture, alignment and appearance for visible signs of injury (swelling, redness, deformities, etc.)
  • Perform a range of motion assessment and move your wrist and fingers in different directions, then gently press on the muscles, tendons, and bones to find any tender or swollen spots.  This may include watching how you use your hand and wrist during everyday activities, like writing or turning a key.
  • Test the strength  of your hand and wrist muscles (grip strength, finger movements) and possibly perform specific tests to check for certain conditions, like carpal tunnel syndrome.  This may include testing your reflexes and sensation in your hand and fingers to rule out nerve issues.
  • If you have X-rays or MRIs, they’ll review the structures in your wrist and hand.

Our physical therapists understand the complexities of the wrist and hand and can perform an assessment to pinpoint the underlying cause of your issues with tests to identify limitations in strength, flexibility, and dexterity.   The results of this assessment enables us to tailor a treatment plan that helps you regain pain-free full wrist and hand function.  We’ll guide you through targeted exercises to improve your wrist and hand strength, mobility (range of motion), and dexterity. So if you’re struggling with persistent pain, a free discovery call with a physical therapist can help. You can discuss your pain, ask questions, and learn about treatment options.

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients: 

  • Experiencing back pain bending over which makes getting dressed difficult.
  • Experiencing back pain bending over which makes caring for their kids difficult.  
  • With back pain making sitting at work or commuting very difficult.
  • With back pain from standing in place at the store or in other situations.

Low back and mid-back (thoracic spine) pain is common.  Your lower back supports your core, connects to your hips and legs, and even impacts your neck.  Low back pain is most often caused by muscle strains or sprains, which happen when you overstretch or tear back muscles or ligaments. This can be from lifting heavy objects incorrectly, sudden movements, bad posture, overuse, or weak core muscles.  Your mid-back (thoracic spine) is important for your neck, shoulders, and arms. Thoracic spine pain (mid-back pain) is most commonly caused by muscle strain or tension, often due to poor posture, overuse, lack of flexibility, and stress.  If it’s not strong and in the right position, it can cause a lot of problems like shoulder pain, neck pain, and even numbness in your arms. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious problems down the road like:

  • Worsening pain and stiffness as what starts as an occasional pain can become persistent and debilitating, rise to the level of being ‘chronic’, limiting movement and making it harder to simply bend, twist, or even stand upright.
  • Weakened back muscles resulting in overall deconditioning making you more susceptible to injuries like strains, sprains, and even disc herniation.
  • Postural and balance problems increasing your risk of falls.

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your upper or lower back pain. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your upper and lower back pain.
  • Observe your posture, spinal alignment, and any visible signs of injury (swelling, redness, muscle spasms). They’ll watch how you move your back during everyday activities, like bending, lifting, or twisting.  
  • Assess your range of motion with your spine and gently press on the muscles, bones, and other tissues in your back to find any tender, tight, or swollen areas.  They might test your reflexes to rule out nerve involvement.
  • Assess the strength of your back muscles, core muscles, and leg muscles and perform specific tests to rule out certain conditions, like nerve compression, disc herniation, or sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
  • If you have X-rays or MRIs, they’ll review the structures in your wrist and hand.

The results of these assessments enable us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your upper and or lower back issues and tailor a treatment plan that helps you regain full pain-free use of your back. We’ll guide you through targeted exercises to improve your back’s strength, mobility, and stability as you learn strategies for also improving your posture and body mechanics.

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients: 

  • Having difficulty walking up and down stairs due to knee pain.
  • Having difficulty kneeling down to the floor to care for their due to knee pain.
  • Unable to run and play with their kids because of knee pain.
  • Unable to exercise or stay active because of leg pain. 

Knee pain can turn everyday activities into challenging hurdles. Simple tasks like climbing stairs, walking for any length, or even just standing beyond hurting become difficult if not impossible. Bending the knee deeply to get in and out of chairs or squat can be extremely painful as can finding a comfortable sleeping position.  Exercise often becomes limited, as high-impact activities or those requiring deep knee bends worsen pain. Carrying heavy objects adds to the strain, making chores like grocery shopping more difficult.  Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious problems down the road like:

  • Increased pain and stiffness from prolonged inflammation and muscle tension can lead to chronic pain and limited range of motion in the knee. 
  • Worsening any minor injury such as a minor meniscus tear to the measure where surgery is required.
  • Increased inflammation, abnormal loading on the joint, instability, and delayed healing that heightens pain, stiffness, and reduces mobility.
  • Increased risk of falls which can have serious consequences, especially for older adults.

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your knee pain. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your knee pain.
  • Observe your knee’s alignment, shape, and any visible signs of injury (swelling, redness, bruising). They’ll also observe how you walk and stand, and perhaps how you move up and down stairs.
  • Gently move your knee, testing your pain-free range of motion and identifying any limitations.   This may include gently pressing on the different structures around your knee (muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint line) to find any tender or swollen spots.  
  • There will be some strength testing and possibly specific tests to check for ligament injuries, meniscus tears, or patellofemoral pain syndrome.  This may include testing your reflexes to rule out nerve involvement.
  • If you have X-rays or MRIs, they’ll review the structures in your knee.

The results of these assessments enable us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your knee issues and tailor a treatment plan that helps you regain full pain-free function of your knee.

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients: 

  • Having trouble walking long distances due to leg pain.
  • Unable to run or exercise like they used to due to leg pain.  
  • Unable to run and play with their kids because of leg pain.

Leg pain can be extremely debilitating and significantly disrupt daily life, making even routine activities like walking, climbing stairs, and standing difficult.  Having reduced lower body mobility can interfere with work, household chores, cause emotional distress, sleep disturbances, and increase the risk of falls. Addressing leg pain is crucial for maintaining independence, physical function, and overall quality of life.  Sprains, strains, fractures, ligament tears, and overuse injuries like tendonitis and shin splints are all common issues causing people to turn to physical therapy for treatment – particularly for active people.    Ignoring leg pain can lead to more serious problems down the road like:

  • Worsening pain and overall stiffness because the initial limited movement due to the pain can ‘cascade’ causing the joints in your leg (hip, knee, ankle) to also become stiff, further restricting your mobility.
  • Worsening ligament tears from a minor sprain (like an ankle sprain) that increases instability and risks a complete tear, requiring more extensive treatment or even surgery.
  • Worsening tendonitis (inflammation of the tendons) in the leg can become chronic, weakening the tendons, making them more susceptible to a complete rupture or tear. This is a serious injury that often requires surgery to repair.
  • Increased risk of stress fractures if you continue to exercise because fatigued muscles can’t absorb shock effectively, and altered movement due to pain puts extra stress on bones.

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your knee pain. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your leg pain.
  • Observe your leg’s standing and sitting posture, looking for any asymmetries, muscle imbalances, or movement limitations.  This will generally include gait analysis and checking for any signs of inflammation or injury.
  • Gently touch your leg to identify areas of tenderness, muscle tightness, or swelling, and perform both a strength and range of motion assessment followed by a check for reflexes (nerve issues). 
  • Performing specific tests to assess for conditions like sciatica, ligament sprains, or tendonitis.
  • If you have X-rays or MRIs, they’ll review the structures in your leg.

The results of these assessments enable us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your leg issues and tailor a treatment plan that helps you regain full pain-free function of your knee. We’ll guide you through targeted exercises to improve your leg’s strength, mobility, and stability as you learn strategies for also improving your posture and body mechanics.

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients: 

  • Experiencing pain when taking footsteps in the morning.  
  • Having trouble walking long distances due to your foot pain.
  • Unable to run or exercise like you used to due to your foot pain.

Because we rely so heavily on our feet and ankles for movement, pain in these areas can significantly limit your daily activities and overall mobility.  Foot and ankle pain can make it difficult to walk, stand, climb stairs, or participate in physical activities you enjoy. Even daily activities like getting dressed, showering, or even walking to the mailbox can become challenging and painful.   Ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis (causing heel pain) and Achilles tendinitis (the tendon connecting your calf to your heel) are painful conditions often arising from active lifestyles, improper footwear, or individual biomechanics.  However, these painful issues can also originate from other areas like the knees, hips, or lower back, which is why a comprehensive assessment is needed to accurately identify the origin of your ankle or foot pain.  Ignoring leg pain can lead to more serious problems down the road like:

  • Worsening of the initial injury and risking chronic inflammation, damaging tissues and potentially causing more serious problems like tendon tears, ligament ruptures, or stress fractures.
  • Developing muscle weaknesses and imbalances (favoring one leg) prompting abnormal stresses on other joints like your knees, hips, and back.
  • Masking another serious condition as in some cases, foot and ankle pain can be a symptom of an underlying condition like arthritis, diabetes, or nerve damage.

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your knee pain. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your foot and ankle pain.
  • Observe and assess your overall posture, including alignment of the feet, ankles, and legs and perhaps you might be asked to walk on your toes and heels, hop squat, and balance.  This may also include examining your shoes for wear patterns and suitability and a gait analysis. 
  • Gently touch your foot and ankle to identify areas of tenderness, warmth, swelling, or any abnormal tissue texture and to make sure there is sufficient blood flow to your feet.
  • Test the muscle strength and range of motion of your foot and ankle including checking for reflexes and sensation to rule out nerve issues.
  • If you have X-rays or MRIs, they’ll review the structures in your foot and ankle.

The results of these assessments enable us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your foot and ankle issues and tailor a treatment plan that helps you regain full pain-free function of your foot and ankle. We’ll guide you through targeted exercises to improve your foot and ankle’s strength, mobility, and stability as you learn strategies for also improving your posture and body mechanics.

Our physical therapist provides solutions to patients: 

  • Sensing a spinning sensation, like the room is moving around, even when they are still.
  • Having difficulty standing or walking without feeling unsteady.
  • Occasionally feeling like they’re going to faint or fall.

In your inner ear and brain is a complex network of structures called the Vestibular system that helps you maintain balance, coordination, and spatial orientation. Think of it like your body’s internal gyroscope constantly processes information about your body’s position and movement, allowing you to stay upright, walk steadily, and keep your vision clear even when you move your head.  Problems arise when any part of this network malfunctions, often due to inner ear issues like infections, nerve damage,  physical trauma or age-related decline.  Vestibular issues can make it difficult to stand, walk, or even turn your head without feeling dizzy and potentially falling.   Ignoring leg pain can lead to more serious problems down the road like:

  • Increased risk of falls and injuries like fractures, sprains, and head injuries, especially in older adults.  
  • Heightened anxiety and avoidance of activities due to the constant dizziness and fear of falling.  This can even result in social isolation as well as feelings of depression.

Seeking early intervention is key to finding relief and preventing further complications. We provide comprehensive evaluations to understand and identify the root cause of your balance and or dizziness issues. Our physical therapists:

  • Ask detailed questions about your symptoms to get a full picture of your balance and dizziness issues.  
  • Assess your eye movements, gaze stability and visual acuity. 
  • Test your balance and coordination while standing with eyes open and closed as well as when walking, turning, and reaching.  
  • May conduct a gait assessment, and vestibular specific testing such as some the Dix-Hallpike maneuver which primarily determines if you have Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), the most common cause of vertigo, that spinning sensation that makes you feel like the room is moving.

The results of these assessments enable us to pinpoint the underlying cause of your vestibular / balance issues and tailor a treatment plan that helps you regain full confident functioning of your balance. Our physical therapists specialize in what’s called Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), a type of physical therapy that effectively treats dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance.   We’ll guide you through targeted exercises to improve your balance, mobility, and stability as you learn strategies for also improving your posture and body mechanics. So if you’re struggling with persistent dizziness, a free discovery call with a physical therapist can help. You can discuss your concerns, ask questions, and learn about treatment options.
