Physical therapy is something that most people will have to go through at least once in their life.

Most often things such as an injury, accident, or surgery are what lead someone to seek out or be referred to physical therapy.

When Physical Therapy is Needed

It is possible that someone could seek the assistance of a physical therapist to simply strengthen muscle groups, improve mobility and overall quality of life. However, most often there is a specific event that leads someone to the professional expertise of a physical therapist. 

Incidents such as:

• Car Accident
• Slip and Fall
• Sports Injury
• Joint Replacement
• Surgical Recovery
• Work or Job Site Injury

Many Americans suffer from chronic pain. Studies show it could be up to 20% of people who live with some kind of pain every single day. In the midst of an opioid epidemic, it would be wise for these individuals and their providers to turn to physical therapy for relief rather than jumping into medications that could lead to dependency. Combining physical therapy with other treatments such as medication is also a great way to maximize results.

Services Offered

Our staff is trained and has experience in helping people in our community overcome these common issues. 

Back Pain

Back pain can range from annoying to debilitating. Depending on what caused the back pain to flare up in the first place will determine the treatment plan. It is possible that the back simply needs to be strengthened to withstand the abuse that it gets every day. A physical therapist can help you know which exercises are best, how often to perform them and how to do it safely so as not to result in further injury. 

Neck Pain

Adult neck pain is most commonly related to a whiplash injury from a car accident. There has, however, been a rise in neck pain due to frequently looking down at phones and laptops with poor posture. Sleeping without a good mattress or pillow for support can also lead to a flare up. 

Sports Medicine

Athletes’ bodies are put under a great amount of stress. Injuries related to sports are often high impact and include sprains, strains, broken bones, concussion, and more. The good news is that young athletes are in a good position to recover fully and quickly from these injuries if they are treated correctly and timely. Physical therapists can also help athletes improve their strength and mobility to prevent injury and excel in their position. 

Vestibular Rehabilitation

The vestibular system includes the workings of the inner ear. This area contains the smallest bones in the entire body and they control most of our balance. Symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance can signal a vestibular condition. Many people do not know that physical therapy is a great option for treating these kinds of symptoms. Some simple exercises and or adjustments could get you back to normal living.
