Maybe you were told to rest it. Maybe you were handed a diagnosis and a photocopied sheet of exercises. Maybe it has been going on long enough that you have stopped bringing it up. Every condition below is evaluated and treated by one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy, each a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist. Your therapist watches how you move, finds what is actually driving the symptom, and builds the plan from there.

Sharp back pain, nerve pain running down the leg, stiffness that will not let up. Those are signals, not a life sentence.

Pain when you grip, weakness in the hand, a forearm that aches by lunchtime. That is tissue carrying more than it can handle.

Ankle stiffness and foot pain that make you think about every step. We treat what is causing it, not just where it hurts.

The stairs have become a decision. Hip stiffness wakes you up at night. Neither is something you have to plan your life around.

Neck pain rarely stays in the neck. Left alone it recruits your upper back and turns into headaches and lost motion.

Surgery is one day. How you prepare for it and what you do afterward decides how the recovery actually goes.

Nagging knee pain, sharp shin splints, an Achilles that talks back. Running injuries cost you far more than training days.

It started as a minor ache. Now it decides how you work, how you train, and whether you reach overhead at all.

Pelvic floor pain is frustrating, sometimes embarrassing, and rarely discussed. Bring it to a clinician who takes it seriously.

Whatever brought you here, the structure is the same. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy runs the evaluation personally, and is the one in the room for the full 40 minutes of every session after it. Care moves through four phases, in this order: Pain, Prime, Perform, Prevent. Calm the tissue and the nervous system down enough to move. Restore the motion the joint lost. Load it, progressively, until it holds under real demand. Then keep the capacity you built so the problem does not come back. North Carolina has unrestricted direct access to physical therapy, so no physician referral is needed to start. We verify your insurance coverage before treatment begins, and most patients come in 2 to 3 times a week for 4 to 6 weeks.
