Osteoporosis
Headaches
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most debilitating type of arthritis because it can cause adult deformity and disability. It affects more than 1.5 million adult Americans. The type of RA that affects children is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). RA's onset usually occurs between the ages of 30 and 60, but is known to affect older adults, too. Women are affected three times as often as men.
Fibromyalgia
Physical therapists teach self-management skills to people with all types of conditions, including fibromyalgia. Physical therapists can show people with fibromyalgia how to relieve symptoms of pain and stiffness in everyday life. These health care professionals teach people with fibromyalgia how to build strength and improve their range of motion. They show them ways to get relief from deep muscle pain. And they can help people with fibromyalgia learn how to make sensible decisions about daily activities that will help prevent painful flare-ups.
Plantar Fasciitis
A thorough evaluation from a physical therapist plus ice, rest, supportive shoes are just the beginning to understanding and treating plantar fasciitis.
Cryotherapy
Medical Weight Loss
You have commonly heard the phrase, “MAKE SURE YOU ARE DRINKING ENOUGH WATER.” Hydration is important for the body not only as a daily practice, during physical activity, but also plays an important role in the aid of weight loss. The human body is made up of approximately 50-75% water. The percentage of water varies based on age and gender. Fluid intake is essential to good health. Water is needed to regulate your temperature, maintain joint health and to deliver essential vitamins and minerals. Dehydration leads to impaired nerve and muscle function due to the imbalance of sodium and potassium within the body. Brain and muscle function become impaired causing decreased muscle coordination and impaired athletic performance. Early signs and symptoms of dehydration include headaches, dry mouth, chills, dry skin, excessive thirst, and fatigue. The color of one’s urine is a good indicator of proper hydration. Improper hydration will cause your urine to become a dark yellow. Signs of worsening dehydration are increased body temperature, heart rate and body temperature. If you become confused, have vision disturbances and difficulty breathing seek immediate medical attention. Your risk of dehydration increases when you sweat excessively, increase your exercise intensity and duration, when the temperature is high and at high altitudes.

Gynecologists

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
The pelvic floor consists of several muscles and other types of tissue that work much like a sling to keep pelvic and abdominal organs supported and in place. Pelvic floor dysfunction is a broad term that refers to conditions caused by weakened or tightened muscles in the pelvic floor, as well as certain problems with the lower back and hip joints. These problems can be a result of pregnancy, childbirth, poor posture, infection, injury, or surgery.

Neurologists

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Physical therapists can also recommend braces and/or splints to enhance balance and posture. Splinting is often used in the treatment of compression mononeuropathies, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Epilepsy
Tell your therapist if you suffer from any of the following: Cancer, heart disorders, diabetes, epilepsy, DVT, or are at risk of or have had an embolism. Let your therapist know if you are having an acute or “flare-up” of diverticulitis, or if you have skin disorders such as phlebitis, ulceration or open wounds in the area to be treated, or are pregnant. You may not have an abdominal massage until three months after abdominal surgery.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Radiologist

Ultrasound
Ultrasound (US) treatment involves use of sound waves over the area being treated to create vibrations that generate heat. When the tissues vibrate, friction is produced at the molecular level, which causes the temperature of the tissues to increase. While heating packs can be effective in warming an affected area, they are unable to reach the depth that US can. It can also be used with an anti-inflammatory topical medication delivered directly to a specific area, in a process called phonophoresis..
X-Rays
Chemotherapy
Often affected after surgery related to breast cancer, especially if lymph nodes have been removed or if chemotherapy and/or radiation has been part of treatment.

Surgeons

Sciatica
Cartilage in the hip can become worn down, hip tendons can become overused, hip muscles can fatigue, and the hip bone itself can be fractured during a fall or similar injury. If you experience hip pain toward the outside area of your hip, the buttock, or thigh it can be due to injuries involving tendons, ligaments, and muscles in the hip region. Another cause of low back pain, buttock pain, hip pain or even leg pain may be attributed to dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint (SI joint). The symptoms of an SI joint dysfunction may feel very similar to pain caused by sciatica.
Pinched Nerve
The pain from a pinched nerve in the hip can be severe. You may have pain when you move or you may walk with a limp. The pain can feel like an ache, or it may burn or tingle. You may also have numbness that can spread down your leg. A pinched nerve occurs when tissues press on the nerve, causing tingling or even weakness.
Joint Replacement
Gangrene
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is known as a condition where by the blood flow in the limb arteries are obstructed. Commonly, the legs are the most affected. These arteries are obstructed due to plaque deposits that restrict blood flow through the peripheries. Although blood flow may be also restricted by deep vein thrombosis, which may be a blood clot that occurs in the periphery of the limbs. Most patients are asymptomatic, but may experience intermittent claudication (pain on walking). Common symptoms of PAD include pain during walking and rest, skin ulcers, cramping, aching, clubbing of the finger or toenails, cold skin, blue tinged skin, and slow blood refill. Thus, there is a lack of blood flow to remove anaerobic metabolites that cause a pain sensation when built up. Critical limb ischaemia occurs when the blood flow reduction is so severe that it causes pain on rest or loss of tissue (ulceration or gangrene).

Sports Medicine
Sports injuries have laid off many athletes for seasons, games, and worse, careers. Injuries are actually pretty common while participating in competitions, organized sports, fitness activities, or training exercises. Poor training methods, lack of conditioning, and inadequate warm-up are a few of the causes of sports-related injuries. Coping with these kinds of injuries often calls for physical rehabilitation. Physical therapy helps people regain strength and movement in parts of their body after an injury. Physical therapy can also help someone manage pain and prevent permanent damage and recurring problems. Each sport carries its own risk of injury for its players. Physical therapists are trained to help patients recuperate following an injury. As part of physical therapy, they can teach stretches, exercises, and techniques using specialized equipment to solve problems.
Physical Therapy
We can assist you in obtaining a referral from your physician, but direct access for physical therapy may eliminate this step. We are always able to evaluate you without a referral regardless of your insurance, or if you are seeing an occupational or a physical therapist.
Occupational Therapy
Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive capsulitis is the stiffening of the shoulder due to scar tissue, which results in painful movement and loss of motion. The actual cause of adhesive capsulitis is a matter of debate. Some believe it is caused by inflammation, such as when the lining of a joint becomes inflamed (synovitis), or by autoimmune reactions, where the body launches an "attack" against its own substances and tissues. Other possible causes include...
Tennis Elbow
This is the most common reason for elbow pain and is a result of the tendons that control wrist and finger straightening to become damaged, causing inflammation and pain. Not just due to tennis play, this often occurs in anyone who overuses the thumb and first two fingers or from repetitive and resistive gripping.
Slipped Disc
A herniated disc, also sometimes called a bulging or protruded disc, occurs when the cushion-like cartilage (the disc) between the bones of the spine is torn, and the gelatin-like core of the disc leaks. Often mistakenly called a slipped disc, a herniated disc can be caused by sudden trauma or by long-term pressure on the spine. This condition most often affects people aged 30 to 50 years; men are twice as likely to be diagnosed as women. Repeated lifting, participating in weight-bearing sports, obesity, smoking, and poor posture are all risk factors for a herniated disc. The majority of herniated discs do not require surgery, and respond best to physical therapy. Physical therapists design individualized treatment programs to help people with herniated discs regain normal movement, reduce pain, and get back to their regular activities.
Shoulder Pain
Flatfoot Correction
Ankle Sprain
The most common cause of ankle pain is due to an ankle sprain or strain. Arthritis, tendonitis, and stress fractures are also common in the foot or ankle and can be exacerbated by new or an excessive activity, or even a new pair of shoes.
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Aquatic Therapy
Steady and continued growth based largely on word-of-mouth referrals from physician and patient trust, in 2010 we committed to building a larger clinic a few blocks down from our first location on Jefferson Highway. Responding to a need for quality aquatic therapy in Baton Rouge, an in-ground heated pool suite makes up 1200 of the 7500 square foot building!
Manual Therapy
Astym treatment is a method of manual therapy, and is non-invasive, which means there are no injections or incisions. Instruments of various shapes are applied on top of the skin to locate dysfunctional (unhealthy) tissue, and to transfer mild to moderate pressure to the underlying soft tissue structures, using massage-like strokes. Astym treatment stimulates tissue regeneration, breaks up scar tissue, and remodel the tissue in a more functional pattern.

Ankle Sprain
When the foot exceeds its normal range of motion an ankle sprain or strain can occur as a result, and the ligaments in the ankle joint stretch or tear. Ankle pain and sprains are very common, especially for athletes or for someone who has weak ankles or poor balance and
Flat Feet
Foot Pain
Foot Injuries
Plantar Fasciitis
This condition causes chronic pain in the bottom of your heel foot. While it may feel like inflammation, it is associated with a degenerative problem involving the tissue that connects your toes to your heel bone. Occurring often in runners or those on their feet a lot, also flat feet, high arches, and excessive weight can contribute to the condition.
