PHYSICAL THERAPY for ORTHOPEDIC & SPORT injuries

The Physical Therapy Doctor, P.C. helps people from Manhattan, Queens, Nassau County, and beyond.  People travel far and wide to our office, because I evaluate your body from 2 points of view: the biomechanical/ structural aspect as in traditional physical therapy and your autonomic nervous system.  Many people are familiar with structural problems that cause functional limitations and pain, like arthritis and tendonitis, but are not familiar with the autonomic nervous system.  This system is the control center that runs your body.  It is important to treat this system, because it makes decisions every second of the day that influence how much muscle tension and pain we feel.

During the evaluation I determine which is causing your pain and functional limitation the most, and then I treat that area first.  This drastically speeds up your recovery from lower back pain, neck pain, tendonitis, arthritis, or any other orthopedic and sport injury. 

I am proud to say that our only advertisements are through former patients.  When something life changing happens to someone they want to share it with other people.  Check out our extensive collection of video success stories and written testimonials. 

In other words . . . I offer cutting edge manual therapy treatments that not only address your muscle pain and joint pain, but restore balance to your nervous system.  This will get you moving pain free a lot quicker than traditional manual therapy alone.  I will shut down the protective reactions created by your nervous system that occur when you have an injury, pain, surgery, or swelling.  This makes a huge difference in the outcome!

We offer very personalized care in a clean environment, and you won't be put off to an inexperienced therapist either.

Each patient receives an exercise booklet to keep, which will help guide them through their recovery.  Patients are always supervised and feel confident that they are performing exercises properly.  All of this creates an environment that promotes a speedy recovery from injuries involving back and neck pain, tendonitis, arthritis or any other orthopedic and sport related problem.

New Yorkers have busy schedules that don't normally include physical therapy.  But when your body needs help, The Physical Therapy Doctor, P.C. can get you back to your normal life activities.  We are conveniently located in Bayside, NY (Queens, NY) next to three major highways.

Tendonitis/ Tendinosis

Tendonitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon usually from overuse during repetitive activities causing chronic stress or strain.  Typical traditional treatments include ice, medication, rest and splinting through braces.  Then physical therapy is used to help lengthen and strengthen the involved tendon.   This includes exercise, myofascial manipulation, stretching, and modalities (ultrasound, electric stimulation, etc.).  Tendinosis, or chronic tendonitis, is a condition where the tendon fails to heal and it degenerates.

What you won't find mentioned in a search for the treatment of tendonitis or tendinosis, is the potential contribution of the nervous system to the tendonitis pain.  This is a cutting edge treatment for tendonitis that I have done repeatedly with success.  Check out a video testimonial of a patient with elbow tendonitis that had great results with this treatment.   To learn more contact The Physical Therapy Doctor.

I have also found great benefit in using Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization when greater more specific pressure is needed to breakdown troublesome scar tissue within the tendon.
