Joint and muscle injuries can slow you down whether they happened on the field, at work, or around the house. Complete PT provides orthopedic physical therapy to help you move and feel better again. Our licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy build a plan around your injury, your goals, and how your body responds to treatment.
What Orthopedic Physical Therapy Treats
Orthopedic injury treatment covers a wide range of issues affecting your muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones. That includes sprains and strains from twisting an ankle or overworking a muscle, as well as more significant injuries like ligament or tendon tears, fractures, and joint dislocations. It also covers the day-to-day aches that build up over time, like shoulder pain from repetitive overhead motion or low back pain from sitting too long. Sports injury physical therapy falls under this same category, since many athletic injuries involve these same structures.
Who Benefits From Orthopedic Physical Therapy
You don’t need a dramatic injury to benefit from joint pain physical therapy. Complete PT works with people dealing with ankle and foot pain from old sprains, elbow pain from repetitive strain, and shoulder pain that limits reaching overhead. Hip and knee pain are common reasons people come in too, whether from a recent injury or gradual wear. Back and neck pain, often tied to posture, lifting, or old injuries, respond well to a structured treatment plan as well.
What Treatment Looks Like at Complete PT
Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation of your injury, movement patterns, and goals. From there, your therapist builds a plan that may include manual therapy, targeted strengthening, mobility work, and guided return-to-activity training. If you’re recovering from a fracture, dislocation, or tear, your plan will be paced according to your healing timeline and any guidance from your surgeon or physician. Treatment is one-on-one, so your program adjusts as you improve.
