We are committed to quality care. All patients receive one on one care from an experienced and licensed physical therapist. Our clinical set-up is unique in that physical therapy services are provided in the same office as our orthopedic MDs. Communication between patient, physician and therapist is frequent and invaluable. Some of the orthopedic ailments commonly treated are:
- Neck and back pain
- Sciatica
- Shoulder and arm pain
- Wrist and hand pain
- Joint replacements
- Hip, knee, ankle, and foot pain
- Fractures
Surgical and non-surgical patients are routinely seen. Emphasis is placed on fast and complete recovery. Exercise programs are developed based on patients’ individual strengths and weaknesses, thus allowing the maximum benefit for the effort provided. Patient feedback is encouraged and expected. All patients are educated on their diagnosis and treatments received. Throughout the rehabilitation process patients will experience a greater understanding of their injuries and their bodies in general. Patients with a thorough grasp on their orthopedic conditions tend to get well faster and are less prone to re-injury. |
