Our physical therapists help you avoid unnecessary surgery, prepare your body before an orthopedic procedure (“prehab”), and recover faster afterward.
Every plan starts with a thorough one-on-one evaluation. From there we combine skilled manual therapy, targeted exercise, and education so you understand what’s going on and what to do about it. We treat injuries of the ankle, foot, knee, hip, back, spine, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand.
After surgery
Post-operative physical therapy is one of the most important parts of your recovery. We follow your surgeon’s protocol closely to restore motion, rebuild strength safely, and get you back to work, sport and daily life with confidence.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is an orthopedic condition?
An orthopedic condition is a medical disorder or injury affecting the musculoskeletal system, including your bones, ligaments, muscles, tendons, fascia and nerves.
What are common orthopedic conditions and injuries?
- Arthritis: degeneration or inflammation of the joints.
- Osteoarthritis: breakdown of cartilage, commonly affecting weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees.
- Rheumatoid arthritis: an autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation.
- Fractures: bone breaks resulting from traumatic events such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports activities or blunt force trauma.
- Degenerative conditions: diseases such as osteoporosis or osteopenia that cause bones to become weak and brittle.
- Overuse injuries: damage caused by repetitive strain to a specific area, including:
- Back pain from repetitive lifting and bending.
- Shoulder inflammation (tendinitis, bursitis or muscle tears) from repetitive overhead movements.
- Spinal injuries: conditions affecting the spine, such as disc bulges or herniations, vertebral slippage (spondylolisthesis) and compression fractures.
What are the general symptoms of an orthopedic injury?
- Localized symptoms: pain, tenderness, swelling, warmth to the touch and redness around the injured area.
- Functional limitations: stiffness, weakness and reduced range of motion or mobility.
- Mechanical issues: joint locking or clicking and snapping sensations during movement.
- Mobility changes: difficulty walking, or changes in how you walk.
What can physical therapists do for orthopedic injuries?
Physical therapists evaluate and treat musculoskeletal disorders using tailored rehabilitation plans, including targeted exercises, manual therapy and movement training, to relieve pain, restore mobility, rebuild strength and prevent future injury.
