Common Treatment Categories

Muscle Strains

Injuries that occur when muscles are stretched beyond their limits, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Physical therapy focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring strength, and preventing future strains.

Joint Sprains

Ligament injuries due to twisting or stretching beyond normal range, leading to pain, swelling, and instability. Therapy aims to strengthen surrounding muscles, improve joint stability, and restore normal movement patterns.

Low Back Pain

Discomfort or stiffness in the lower back area, often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or injury. Physical therapy includes exercises to strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and correct posture to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence.

Neck Pain

Pain and stiffness in the neck region, commonly caused by poor posture, muscle tension, or injury. Therapy involves manual techniques to release tension, exercises to improve neck strength and mobility, and ergonomic education.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Damage to the muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, resulting in pain, weakness, and limited arm movement. Physical therapy focuses on strengthening the rotator cuff muscles, improving shoulder stability, and restoring full range of motion.

Knee Injuries (ACL/Meniscus Tears)

Tears or strains in the knee ligaments (ACL) or cartilage (meniscus), leading to pain, swelling, and instability. Therapy includes strengthening exercises, balance training, and gradual return to activities to restore knee function and prevent future injuries.

Osteoarthritis

Degenerative joint disease causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, commonly in weight-bearing joints like knees, hips, and spine. Physical therapy aims to improve joint flexibility, strengthen surrounding muscles, and provide pain relief through modalities and therapeutic exercises.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Recovery and rehabilitation following orthopedic surgeries such as joint replacements, ligament repairs, or spinal surgeries. Therapy focuses on reducing swelling, regaining strength and mobility, and facilitating safe return to daily activities.

Sports Injuries

Various injuries such as sprains, strains, and fractures sustained during sports activities. Physical therapy includes sport-specific exercises, agility training, and biomechanical analysis to optimize recovery and prevent re-injury.

Balance and Gait Disorders

Difficulty with balance, coordination, or walking due to conditions like stroke, Parkinson's disease, or vestibular disorders. Therapy involves exercises to improve balance, gait training, and vestibular rehabilitation to enhance mobility and reduce fall risk.
