We treat a wide range of Conditions and Injuries

Our staff is expertly trained in a combination of treatment modalities and will develop a customized treatment plan to help you meet your goals and improve your quality of life.

The following is a partial list of conditions we treat:

 

BACK PAIN

PT is appropriate for both acute and chronic back pain due to a variety of disorders. This could include, but is not limited to: overuse, muscle tear, sacroiliac dysfunction (SIJ), poor alignment, degenerative changes, fracture, or compensation from other impairments.

BALANCE DISORDERS

PT is extremely effective for improving balance in a variety of cases, including normal age-related changes, chronic ankle injuries, neurological disorders, vertigo, or even previous history of falls or fear of falling.

 
 

CORE INSTABILITY AND WEAKNESS

Having insufficient strength in your core muscles can lead to a wide array of issues and affect your functional strength (ability to lift, carry, climb stairs, etc.), athletic ability, sitting and standing tolerance, and even handwriting! PT can help improve core stability to resolve symptoms and help prevent future injuries.

FIBROMYALGIA AND RELATED DISORDERS

Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and myofascial pain syndrome are all complex, multi-system disorders that can be improved or resolved with PT. Treatments focus on myofascial therapy, strengthening and flexibility training, and patient education in order to improve function and pain.

 
 

GAIT DISORDERS

Our therapists have a keen eye for aberrant movement patterns and locating and correcting causative factors. Gait disorders can be caused by a variety of issues, including but not limited to ankle or leg injury, pelvic asymmetry, SI joint dysfunction, sciatica, back pain, and neurological disorders.

HAND AND WRIST PAIN/INJURIES

While often referred to occupational therapy, hand and wrist issues are often a result of postural abnormalities and scapular instability which may go untreated by other specialists. We evaluate the entire body to determine the root cause of the injury, and either treat as appropriate or offer a referral to another provider.

 
 

MIGRAINE HEADACHES

PT is effective for the treatment of frequent headaches and migraine. Evaluation will determine the likely cause of pain and prognosis of treatment, which usually involves a combination of manual therapy and myofascial release to neck and shoulders, postural retraining, functional strengthening, and patient education.

NECK PAIN

PT is effective in the treatment of both acute and chronic neck pain. Neck pain can be the result of a variety of issues, including but not limited to postural abnormalities, impaired stability or strength, injuries, or poor body mechanics.

 
 

OSTEOARTHRITIS

PT has been proven to be effective in the treatment of Osteoarthritis. Strengthening the muscles surrounding the affected joint improves joint mechanics, relieving (or sometimes resolving) pain and mitigating the need for cortisone injections, surgery, or joint replacement.

NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS

PT is appropriate to improve, or in some cases restore function following the onset of neurological injury which could be due to congenital illness, stroke, traumatic brain injury or concussion, Parkinson’s Disease, and multiple sclerosis, among many other causes. We have a history of success with a variety of neurological disorders.

 
 

MUSCULAR OR JOINT PAIN

Pain is the number one reason people seek physical therapy, regardless of the cause. If you have pain, Redpoint PT will provide you with a full evaluation to identify all potential causes, and will work with you to develop an individualized plan of care in order to achieve your goals.

POSTURE

Physical therapists are trained to assess and restore normal posture. Altered posture can lead to neck pain, back pain, hip and knee pain, shoulder and elbow pain, and even wrist pain.

 
 

PRE/POST NATAL CARE

Pregnancy takes a toll on the body, leading to back pain, headaches, leg pain, ankle and foot pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, core and pelvic floor weakness. Our team provides a thorough evaluation and develops an appropriate treatment plan.

PRE/POST OPERATIVE CARE

Physical therapy should be recommended after most surgeries, and in some cases, prior to surgery to improve surgical outcome. Treatments will focus on restoring normal function and reducing pain.

 
 

SHOULDER PAIN

There are many reasons you might experience pain in your shoulder and many types of disorders related to shoulder pain. Roughly 50% of shoulder injuries are due to rotator cuff dysfunction, which can lead to more serious injuries in the shoulder, arm, and neck. PT is an effective treatment for the majority of shoulder injuries and can be used to prevent surgery or maximize recovery after surgery.

SPORTS-RELATED INJURIES

Our therapists have a comprehensive understanding of the musculoskeletal system and a broad base of experience with a variety of sports. They have a particular interest in improving mechanics with swimmer’s shoulder, and they also enjoy working with gymnasts, soccer players, baseball players, lacrosse players, runners, and many other athletes.

 
 

STROKE/CVA

Stroke, or cerebrovascular accidents, can cause a wide variety of impairments, many of which are effectively treated or improved with physical therapy. Our team has a passion for neurological rehabilitation and we’re happy to chat with you about your needs in order to determine whether PT is appropriate for you.

TEMPORAL MANDIBULAR JOINT (TMJ) DISORDER

TMJ Disorder (pain and dysfunction in your jaw) is very common and occurs more often in women than in men. It can be caused by a variety of issues including stress, postural abnormalities, weak shoulders, poor neck flexibility, or trauma. PTs are trained to evaluate and treat TMJ Disorder with a combination of manual therapy to neck and face, joint mobilization, therapeutic exercise, and postural re-education.

 
 

VERTIGO

PTs are trained to evaluate and treat vestibular disorders, including BPPV.

WHIPLASH AND OTHER MOTOR VEHICLE INJURIES

PT can help restore normal tissue function in the neck and shoulders in order to relieve pain following a car accident. Be sure to inform your provider that your injuries were due to a car accident when you call in order to expedite care and avoid unnecessary costs.
