Orthopedic Care at Boise Physical Therapy 180
As orthopedic manual physical therapists, the team at Physical Therapy 180 is uniquely qualified to treat musculoskeletal conditions throughout the entire body. Whether you are dealing with a sudden injury or a nagging, chronic ache, we look beyond the surface to understand exactly why your body is hurting.
Diagnosing the Root Cause
Your recovery begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation. We don’t just look at where it hurts; we investigate the true nature and mechanism of your injury. Our therapists evaluate:
- The Involved Tissue: Pinpointing exactly which muscles, joints, ligaments, or nerves are irritated.
- Biomechanical Faults: Analyzing how your body moves dynamically during daily life or athletics.
- Ergonomic Factors: Assessing how your workplace setup, posture, and daily habits might contribute to strain and tissue irritation.
Your Comprehensive Treatment Plan
Once we establish an accurate musculoskeletal diagnosis, we partner with you to develop a customized, multi-phased treatment plan designed to return you to your optimal level of function. Your care may include:
- Orthopedic Manual Therapy: Hands-on joint and soft tissue mobilizations to rapidly reduce pain and restore fluid movement.
- Targeted Therapeutic Exercise: Specific stretching and strengthening protocols to rebuild your structural foundation.
- Neuromuscular Re-Education: Training your nervous system to break bad movement habits and adopt safer, more efficient patterns.
- Advanced Clinical Modalities: Utilizing tools like electrical stimulation, dry needling, or cupping to accelerate tissue healing.
- A Customized Home Program: Building a manageable, effective home exercise plan so you can confidently continue your progress outside of the clinic.
