ORTHOPEDICS
What Is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?
Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on the assessment and minimization of pain by treating musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Orthopedic therapy addresses problems with joints, muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons. Post-surgical as well as non-surgical conditions are treatable with this approach. The goal of orthopedic treatment is to promote optimal tissue regeneration and increase bio-motor function.
Orthopedic physical therapy treats patients with both non-surgical and post-surgical conditions
The following health conditions are commonly addressed by our skilled orthopedic physical therapists
- Acute and chronic low-back and neck pain
- Muscle-tension headaches
- General arthritic complaints
- Hip and knee osteoarthritis
- Shoulder pain
- Muscle strains and joint sprains
My therapist "fixed" me with the manual therapy technqiues and the wide variety of demanding exercises. I was inspired to work hard. I don't think anyone would think that I have had both hips replaced. My therapist was wonderful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, professional and a good person. She was just the inspirational coad I needed to make it through my therapy. I highly recommend them.

Orthopedic Manual Therapy
Orthopedic manual therapy is a specialized approach from Norway that Dr. Inglis has practiced extensively. Manual therapy addresses the source of the problem. The treatments combine tissue-specific exercises with joint mobilization techniques. Instead of following a typical orthopedic treatment protocol for general lower back pain, using manual therapy we find precisely where the pain is coming from and treat that specifically.Therapeutic Exercise
