- Labor and DeliveryThere are differences between SIJ in men and women, specifically during their 20s-30s. In women, the joint plays an important role in childbirth and hormones influence its shape and mobility. In men, the SIJ has reduced mobility and has adapted to manage movements such as turning, twisting, pulling and pushing as well as lifting heavy objects.
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeHand and wrist pain occur frequently due to carpal tunnel syndrome. The painful symptoms are a response to a pinched nerve in the wrist. Carpal tunnel is brought on by activities that have a repetitive motion such as typing, writing, sewing, painting and driving.
- UltrasoundThis form of therapy is often used in the treatment of inflamed muscle, tendon, ligament or other soft tissue in the body. This anti-inflammatory treatment uses ultrasound that produces high frequency sound waves which give a gentle soothing heat to the inflamed area. This heat helps enlarge the blood vessels which in turn allows oxygen rich blood to flow to the injured area quicker, thus resulting in a faster healing time.
- SciaticaSciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body. Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disc, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.

- Hip ReplacementHip pain can present itself differently depending on the injury or issue the body has undergone. It is often a problem with the muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissue that surrounds the hip joint. Pain can also be a result of post hip replacement surgery.
- Sports MedicineThe term "whiplash-associated disorder" is used to describe the clinical manifestations of a whiplash injury – which occurs when an "acceleration-deceleration" force is applied on the neck. The neck is injured by a sudden jerking or "whipping" of the head – straining the muscles and ligaments of the neck beyond their normal range of motion. While many associate the occurrence of WAD with car accidents, it can occur in any mishap when an acceleration-deceleration force is applied on the neck – for example, in a diving accident, on roller coasters, sports injuries, or being punched or shaken.
- Physical TherapyBack pain is one of the most common types of medical problems. Affecting 80 percent of the population, this pain can be detrimental and debilitating to everyday tasks. Below are some common symptoms that can be aided by physical therapy.
- Frozen ShoulderFrozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is stiffness, pain, and limited range of movement in your shoulder. It may happen after an injury or overuse or from a disease such as diabetes or a stroke. The tissues around the joint stiffen, scar tissue forms, and shoulder movements become difficult and painful.
- Tennis ElbowTennis elbow and golfer's elbow are common painful condition that involve the tendons and muscles in the elbow. Due to overworking the elbow, these condition are most common among jobs that overexert the elbow such as painting, chopping ingredients, repetitive computer mouse use, and drilling screws.
- Slipped DiscA spinal disc is a little like a jelly donut, with a softer center encased within a tougher exterior. Sometimes called a slipped disc or a ruptured disc, a herniated disc occurs when some of the softer "jelly" pushes out through a tear in the tougher exterior.

- Manual TherapyManual Therapy uses specific hands-on techniques that focus the use of the hands as the tool as opposed to various machines. In manual therapy, a physical therapist treats soft tissue and joints with hand pressure for the purpose of decreasing pain caused by spasms and tensions within the muscles. Our practitioners will use a variety of hands-on techniques that will be used to maximize function and ease pain.
- Heel Pain
- Foot Pain
- MetatarsalgiaMetatarsalgia is a common overuse injury. The term describes pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot. It is often thought of as a symptom of other conditions, rather than as a specific disease.
- Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning. Once your foot limbers up, the pain of plantar fasciitis normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or after getting up from a seated position.
