Comprehensive Treatment Spectrum
We take pride in our therapists’ versatility and their ability to provide an extensive range of treatments. Below are some of the core treatment types offered by our expert therapists.
What We Treat
ACL Tear
An ACL tear is an injury that happens to a part of your knee called the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL for short. Your ACL is like a strong, stretchy band that helps keep your knee stable when you move it. When it tears, it can cause pain and make it hard to do activities like running and jumping.
Arthritis
In a bid to provide you with an in-depth understanding of arthritis, we’ve compiled comprehensive information regarding what arthritis is, its causes, symptoms, and how a professional physical therapist can help in treatment and management. At Hartley Physical Therapy , we prioritize your wellness and are dedicated to offering tailored therapy solutions to alleviate your discomfort and improve your mobility.
Back Pain and Sciatica
Do you wake up in the morning with that nagging back pain? Are you feeling achy pain in your back, buttock, or even thigh? Are you having to watch what you do, because you are afraid you may hurt your back? If so, physical therapy can help. Back pain and sciatica differ but are often confused with each other. Back is specific to the upper, mid or low back. Sciatica is a more diffuse, radiating pain down the buttock, thigh, and even leg.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a condition that causes severe discomfort and can last for many years. Acute pain can last for hours or weeks, but chronic pain will not go away. Although the intensity of your pain may decrease, it will eventually return but there is a way to get lasting relief for chronic pain.
Elbow, Wrist, or Hand Pain
Are you suffering from recurrent elbow, wrist, or hand pain that doesn’t seem to get better? There are several reasons why you may experience pain or stiffness in these areas of the body. We use our elbows, wrists, and hands for driving, preparing food, dressing and much more. As a matter of fact, we rely on these upper extremities for daily living. Contact us for information regarding how our physical therapist can reduce or completely eliminate pain in your elbows, wrists, and hands.
Foot or Ankle Pain
Physical therapy has been proven to help with the rehabilitation of injured extremities, in addition to providing relief for both acute and chronic pain. You spend an incredible amount of time using your feet every day, and if you are suffering from foot and ankle pain, your life can be greatly impacted. It can cause dread and agony when taking the stairs, walking a block to your office, or even driving your car. Foot and ankle pain can stem from a variety of different causes, but we can help get you back on track.
Headaches
Headaches can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, tension, poor posture, and muscle weakness. While medication is often the go-to solution for treating headaches, physical therapy can also be an effective way of managing headaches and reducing their frequency and severity. In this article, we will explore how physical therapy can help treat headaches and how it can be incorporated into a treatment plan.
Hip & Knee Pain
Your hips and knees are the largest joints in your body. While many people may experience hip pain or knee pain on their own, it is also common to experience them together as well. You may first notice hip pain on the outside area of the hip, along the outer buttock or upper thigh area. Hip pain can occur whether you are at rest, walking or during any other type of physical activity. Knee pain is another very common reason why people visit our physical therapist each day.
Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery is a medical procedure that helps people with severe hip pain and limited mobility regain their quality of life. During this surgery, a surgeon replaces the damaged or worn-out hip joint with artificial components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This new hip joint helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and allow individuals to engage in daily activities comfortably.
Joint Pain
Joint pain is a common discomfort that can affect people of all ages. It occurs when there is discomfort, soreness, or achiness in one or more of the body’s joints, such as the knees, shoulders, or hips. Joint pain can be caused by various factors and conditions, and it can impact your daily life and mobility.
Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery is a medical procedure that helps people who have severe knee pain and limited mobility due to damaged knee joints. During this surgery, a doctor replaces the damaged parts of the knee with artificial components made of metal and plastic. This new joint helps restore function and reduce pain, allowing individuals to enjoy an active lifestyle once again.
Neck Pain
Neck pain can be very debilitating, particularly if it stretches down to the shoulders. If left untreated, it can become more severe and may require surgery. Sharp pains in the neck can make it difficult to function properly in daily life. Physical therapy can relieve neck pain. It doesn’t matter if your neck pain makes it difficult to sit straight at work, or tilt your head down to tie your shoes. Physical therapy is a common way for many people to relieve their neck pain. Our physical therapy practice is committed to providing the relief you require.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is a common problem that can cause pain in your feet. It happens when a part of your foot called the plantar fascia gets irritated and inflamed. The plantar fascia is a long, thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot.
Rotator Cuff Tears
A rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury that affects the muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint. These muscles and tendons form the rotator cuff, which helps you move your arm and shoulder. When one or more of these tendons become torn, it can cause pain and limit your ability to use your shoulder properly.
Shoulder Pain
Does a simple move to place a jar on a high shelf seem impossible because of shoulder pain? Do you wonder whether or not you’ll able be able to sleep on your side again without waking up in agony? Has a recent injury made your shoulder all but immobile? There are many kinds of shoulder pain, ranging from the temporary discomfort of a pulled muscle to the bone-on-bone friction of arthritis. But whatever is behind your shoulder pain, you can find comfort in the fact that physical therapy offers great promise as a natural pain management modality. Contact one of our physical therapists today to find out how this form of treatment can benefit your shoulder!
Sports Injuries
Athletes on every level run the constant risk of injury. Professional sports icons run the same risk as those on High School and college teams and weekend outdoor enthusiasts. Whatever your sport or level of achievement, the risk of injury hasn’t deterred you from pursuing your passion and won’t either. Our Physical Therapy is dedicated to helping injured athletes recover quickly and regain their full range of motion and strength.
Tendinitis
Tendinitis, also known as tendonitis, is a condition that can happen when a tendon in your body becomes inflamed or irritated. Tendons are strong bands that attach your muscles to your bones. When they get swollen or irritated, it can cause pain and discomfort.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome(TOS)
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a condition that can cause pain, numbness, and tingling sensations in your neck, shoulder, and arm. It happens when there’s pressure on the nerves and blood vessels that pass through a narrow space between your collarbone and first rib, known as the thoracic outlet.
TMJ/TMD
Do you suffer from headaches, grinding of your teeth, clicking of your jaw or even ear pain? These can all be signs of Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome, also known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD). This is a disorder of the jaw muscles and nerves caused by injury to the TMJ, which is the joint between your jaw and skull. The injured temporomandibular joint leads to pain with chewing, clicking, and popping of the jaw; swelling on the sides of the face; nerve inflammation; headaches; tooth grinding; and sometimes dislocation of the temporomandibular joint.
A Focus on Active Lifestyles
We believe in not just treating the condition but also in promoting an active lifestyle that can prevent future injuries. Our therapists provide education on injury prevention and lifestyle modifications to keep you moving and enjoying the activities you love.
