Orthopaedics (Orthopedics) is a branch of medicine that specializes in the treatment of injuries and diseases of the Musculoskeletal System (muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, cartilage/meniscus, discs, and nerves). They treat a wide variety of conditions such as strains and sprains of muscles and ligaments, impairments in muscle functioning, impingements and inflammation of tendons and nerves, restrictions in joint mobility or excessive (hyper) joint mobility, disc bulges and herniations, meniscus injuries, fractures, arthritis, and any condition involving movement and overall functioning. So whether you have pain at your neck, back, shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, or foot, orthopaedically trained professionals can help.
As manual physical therapists, we at Alternative Manual Physical Therapy And Massage primarily treat orthopaedic conditions. By blending advanced manual therapy techniques with massage and bodyworks, along with prescribing custom tailored exercise activities for your specific condition, we are able to provide you faster relief from pain, help you heal faster from injuries, and make gains in chronic pain conditions not achieved by other providers.
