Our PT team focuses not just on treating the pain or discomfort but determining and treating the cause. The power of physical therapy isn't limited to musculoskeletal disorders. Trained in neurological rehabilitation, our team also specializes in the evaluation and treatment of those suffering from injury, disease, and ailments related to the nervous system.
With more than a third of all U.S. adults 65 and older experiencing a fall each year, with up to 30 percent suffering moderate to severe injuries (according to the CDC), it's imperative that seniors and those approaching their golden years take balance issues seriously. And physical therapy can help. Hip and knee replacement surgeries are some of the most common operations performed in the U.S., with about 1 million completed each year.
And each one of these patients shares one thing in common: their desire to get back to the level of work, play, and function they enjoyed before first experiencing joint pain. Our physical therapy team can get them there.
