Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Taking into consideration the extent of your neck pain and your medical history, physical therapy may be a very effective non-surgical means of treatment. If you suffer from issues like muscle strains, rheumatoid arthritis, TMJ disorder, or have neck pain resulting from a traumatic injury, physical therapy can help better your quality of life and, in some cases, it can delay or even prevent future surgical intervention.
Fibromyalgia
Professional Physical Therapy has certified physical therapists trained in managing pregnancy-related pain, such as sciatica, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome, pubic symphysis pain, pelvic ligament strain, and ankle swelling. Other conditions all women may seek help for include diastasis recti, urinary incontinence, osteoporosis, osteopenia, fibromyalgia, headache, postmastectomy and cardiovascular disease.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
Pediatric Care
Constipation
Urinary Incontinence
A physical therapist who specializes in womenâ€™s physical therapy and health can treat urinary incontinence through exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor, also known as kegel exercises, bladder training, and/or biofeedback. Often, having a better understanding of the condition and receiving proper guidance can assist with this issue.

Obstetrics
Women recover from cesarean sections (c-sections) differently, depending on many factors. It is best to consult with a certified physical therapist who specializes in obstetrics and pre- and postnatal exercise, for guidelines and recommendations on the safest way to return to normal activities. They can create a specialized program to help you recover as quickly as possible.
Endometriosis
Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy

Interstitial Cystitis

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Wrist pain is typically considered chronic when it has persisted for more than 3 months. Long-term persistent wrist pain could be the result of more severe issues, such as wrist tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist bursitis, or De Quervain tenosynovitis (also known as radial styloid tenosynovitis). Consulting a certified hand therapist for wrist pain relief is an important tool to lay the foundation for appropriate treatment and rehabilitation.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
When you seek orthopedic physical therapy, you can expect to encounter a variety of common orthopedic tools. These include therapeutic elements like heat, ice, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, exercise tools and equipment, evaluation and assessment tools, assistive devices like walkers or canes, mobilization or soft tissue massage instruments, and orthotics or prosthetics. In addition to these tools, however, the main thing you can expect is a heavy prescription of exercise. Your orthopedic physical therapist will introduce you to exercises to improve strength, range of motion, flexibility, balance, and endurance.
MRI
Shoulder pain can show up in a variety of ways and it can be tricky to identify when it is time to seek medical attention. A good rule of thumb is to seek attention as soon as the pain is noticeable, especially if it starts to interfere with your everyday activities. Figuring out the source of your shoulder pain is the first step to treating it. Tools that can be used to diagnose shoulder pain and refer you to PT include a clinical exam, MRI, X-Ray or Orthopedic Specialist.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Tools that can be used to diagnose neck pain and refer you to PT include a Clinical Exam, MRI, X-Rays or CT Scan.

Michael has 3 years of teaching experience in the Dominican College Doctor of Physical Therapy Program. When Michael is out of work, you can find him pursuing the following hobbies: Weightlifting, Road Cycling, Mountain Biking, and Photography.
Sciatica
Hip pain is typically considered chronic when it has persisted for more than 3 months. Long-term persistent hip pain could be the result of more severe issues, such as osteoarthritis, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
Whiplash
At Professional Physical Therapy, our licensed physical therapists receive advanced clinical training in the treatment and management of various spinal conditions. If youâ€™re suffering from middle back pain, low back pain, neck pain, whiplash, disc bulges, pinched nerves, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and post-surgery pain from laminectomy, discectomy and spinal fusion, chances are your spine needs some attention.
Wound Care
Pinched Nerve
Sciatica Â is a general term used for referred pain in oneâ€™s legs that originates from his or her back. TheÂ sciatic nerve Â is a large nerve that runs down the back of your leg. There are many nerve roots that come out of your spinal column and bundle together to form the sciatic nerve and therefore injury to, or inflammation of, the sciatic nerve (sciatica) can give you varying degrees and locations of pain in your leg (referred pain). Often times, the problem lies at the nerve root level due to some sort of impingement (â€œpinched nerveâ€ ) like a bulging disc or a chemical inflammation from locally inflamed tissues.Â It is very common for patients to experience both back pain and sciatica.Â Physical therapy Â can be helpful when experiencing back pain and sciatica.
Joint Replacement
Some of these conditions include sprains, strains, tendonitis, arthritis, ligament tears, muscle tears, joint/muscle/tendon inflammations, post-fracture injury, joint stiffness, joint pain, rotator cuff repair, ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction, and post-arthroscopic and total joint replacement surgeries. You can access these Orthopedic services in all of our physical therapy clinics.
Bunions
Hip Replacement
From osteoarthritis, hip replacement and now neuropathy, Sally took me from a 10+ on my pain scale to a comfortable 2-3. I am and will always be grateful to her and her staff’s kindness and understanding to myself and wonderful to watch their other patients improvements as well. Our relationship means so much that it was easy to remember the… Read more
Knee Replacement
I am being treated for a recent knee replacement and I couldnâ€™t be happier with the results because of the talented physical therapists at this location. They are caring, kind, compassionate and very talented. I look forward to seeing them at my appointments because they are not only great therapists but they make me feel like family!
Reconstructive Surgery
The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is a very important ligament in providing multidimensional stability to the knee. If you want to return to a sport that requires running, jumping and pivoting, having ACL reconstruction may be the best choice. You and your surgeon can determine the best option together. If surgery is not your preference and the acute pain and swelling has subsided, then aggressive physical therapy for strength, balance, and coordination training is highly recommended. If you decide to have reconstructive surgery, then your physician and Professional Physical Therapist will work closely together on post-operative protocol for the rehabilitation of your knee.

Occupational Therapy
*The below listing includes physical, hand and occupational therapy services. This is not a guarantee of benefits. Patient eligibility and benefits to be verified prior to services rendered.
Frozen Shoulder
Tennis Elbow
Hand therapy can be particularly useful for patients who suffered an accident or trauma that left them with scars, wounds, burns, injured tendons or nerves, fractures, or amputation of fingers, hands, and arms.Â Those with conditions like tennis elbow and carpal tunnel also frequently benefit from hand therapy.
Shoulder Pain
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
A bad whiplash injury is similar to a bad ankle sprain in that due to the trauma of the injury there can be a lot of swelling and inflammation of the many tissues that surround your joints. The difference being that in the neck there are many more joints and nerves. Just like a bad ankle sprain, it can take months and even up to a year to heal.Â Physical Therapy Â can benefit those suffering fromÂ whiplash Â as there are various pain modulation techniques and it also can help stabilize the joints along the spinal column.
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Aquatic Therapy
She has developed a comprehensive aquatic program for patients of different ages, diagnoses and abilities focusing on function, movement and fun â€“ â€œExercise doesnâ€™t have to be a dreaded word! In water, movement, ANY movement, is supported and resisted so make it enjoyable. Stretch, glide, dance or yoga, it is adaptable to any ability or disability and allows balance, gait and movement when these cannot be performed on land. Sports injury? Aquatic Therapy is not all floating and fun – I can safely challenge and recondition an athlete back to fitness.â€ Â She often incorporates creative art expression and music as part of her treatment plans.
Manual Therapy
While injuries can be very similar from one person to the next, we realize that each personâ€™s needs and goals are unique. Thatâ€™s why we believe in treating the entire person, not just their injury. In addition, many of our clinicians have advanced certifications and training, with the ability to offer specialized therapeutics, such as McKenzie MethodÂ®, Manual Therapy, Vestibular Therapy, TMJ Therapy, and many others.

Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Achilles Tendonitis
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) usually help with conditions aggravated by inflammation (the suffix “itis” means “inflammation of”). Some common inflammatory conditions would be arthritis (inflammation of a joint), plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, posterior tibialis tendonitis (shin splints), and lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Physical therapy may be beneficial for inflammatory conditions that do not improve through rest and medication.
Ankle Sprain
I was treated for a broken ankle as well as a sprained ankle, I am very pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend this service and my favorite part would probably be the staff.

Foot Injuries
Plantar Fasciitis
Sports that require the athlete to run, jump and pivot are those commonly associated with traumatic injuries to the knee and ankle. In the knee, a common soft tissue injury would be ligament sprains such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) sprains. Ankle inversion sprains are also a very common type of sprain where you â€œroll your ankleâ€ . Knee and ankle ligament sprains often respond very well to physical therapy. Some other common sports injuries that benefit from physical therapy include: Achilles tendonitis (back of heel pain), patellar tendonitis (commonly called â€œJumperâ€™sâ€ knee), plantar fasciitis (foot pain), and patellofemoral pain (kneecap pain), lateral epicondylitis (elbow pain on the outside commonly termed â€œtennisâ€ elbow), and medial epicondylitis (elbow pain on the inside commonly termed â€œthrowersâ€ elbow pain).
