Overall

Wonderful people & therapy

I have been going to therapy here for a few months. I can feel myself getting better. I love the atmosphere and people that work there. The therapist is well versed in new therapy technics and the old standards. I highly recommend Lanier Therapy in Motion at the Dahlonega location. They also have a location in Gainesville if you are closer to that one.

Arthritis
Before diving into treatment options, it's crucial to understand what hip arthritis is. It's a degenerative condition where the cartilage in the hip joint wears down over time, leading to pain and stiffness. The most common type is osteoarthritis, though other forms like rheumatoid arthritis can also affect the hip.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning. Once your foot limbers up, the pain of plantar fasciitis normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or after getting up from a seated position.
Medical Weight Loss
Physical therapists also provide advice on lifestyle changes that can ease symptoms, such as weight management and avoiding activities that strain the hip.

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
There are differences between SIJ in men and women, specifically during their 20s-30s. In women, the joint plays an important role in childbirth and hormones influence its shape and mobility. In men, the SIJ has reduced mobility and has adapted to manage movements such as turning, twisting, pulling and pushing as well as lifting heavy objects.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hand and wrist pain occur frequently due to carpal tunnel syndrome. The painful symptoms are a response to a pinched nerve in the wrist. Carpal tunnel is brought on by activities that have a repetitive motion such as typing, writing, sewing, painting and driving.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound Therapy: Using sound waves to treat deep into the tissue, ultrasound therapy can promote healing and reduce swelling and pain in the affected area. This non-invasive technique increases blood flow and can be a beneficial component of a comprehensive treatment plan. Although an older technology, some find it beneficial.
X-Rays

Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body. Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disc, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.
Whiplash
Pinched Nerve
Joint Replacement
Hip Replacement
Hip pain can present itself differently depending on the injury or issue the body has undergone. It is often a problem with the muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissue that surrounds the hip joint. Pain can also be a result of post hip replacement surgery.
Knee Replacement
Prehabilitation, or "prehab," involves preparing the body for an upcoming surgery to enhance recovery outcomes. For patients scheduled for knee surgery, such as total knee replacement, BFR training can be particularly beneficial. Here's how...

Sports Medicine
The term "whiplash-associated disorder" is used to describe the clinical manifestations of a whiplash injury – which occurs when an "acceleration-deceleration" force is applied on the neck. The neck is injured by a sudden jerking or "whipping" of the head – straining the muscles and ligaments of the neck beyond their normal range of motion. While many associate the occurrence of WAD with car accidents, it can occur in any mishap when an acceleration-deceleration force is applied on the neck – for example, in a diving accident, on roller coasters, sports injuries, or being punched or shaken.
Physical Therapy
Back pain is one of the most common types of medical problems. Affecting 80 percent of the population, this pain can be detrimental and debilitating to everyday tasks. Below are some common symptoms that can be aided by physical therapy.
Occupational Therapy
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is stiffness, pain, and limited range of movement in your shoulder. It may happen after an injury or overuse or from a disease such as diabetes or a stroke. The tissues around the joint stiffen, scar tissue forms, and shoulder movements become difficult and painful.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are common painful condition that involve the tendons and muscles in the elbow. Due to overworking the elbow, these condition are most common among jobs that overexert the elbow such as painting, chopping ingredients, repetitive computer mouse use, and drilling screws.
Slipped Disc
A spinal disc is a little like a jelly donut, with a softer center encased within a tougher exterior. Sometimes called a slipped disc or a ruptured disc, a herniated disc occurs when some of the softer "jelly" pushes out through a tear in the tougher exterior.

Manual Therapy
Manual Therapy uses specific hands-on techniques that focus the use of the hands as the tool as opposed to various machines. In manual therapy, a physical therapist treats soft tissue and joints with mobilization and manipulation techniques for the purpose of decreasing pain and restoring mobility to injured tissues.
TMJ Dysfunction
A qualified physical therapist, trained in dry needling, will first assess your condition to identify trigger points contributing to your TMJ dysfunction. The therapist will then insert a thin needle into these points. The insertion of the needle can lead to a "twitch response" from the muscle, which is a desirable therapeutic reaction indicating the release of muscle tension and pain relief.

Flat Feet
Heel Spurs
Heel pain is often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition where the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes, becomes inflamed. Other causes include Achilles tendinitis, heel spurs, and bursitis. Understanding the underlying cause of your heel pain is crucial in tailoring a physical therapy regimen that addresses your specific condition. This week we will be focusing on physical therapy for plantar fasciitis.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia is a common overuse injury. The term describes pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot. It is often thought of as a symptom of other conditions, rather than as a specific disease.
Foot Neuroma
Morton's neuroma can be a debilitating condition, but with the right physical therapy techniques, many individuals find significant relief. By incorporating a combination of exercises, manual therapy, and innovative treatments like dry needling and ASTYM, patients can often return to a more active and comfortable lifestyle. If you're suffering from symptoms of Morton's neuroma, consider consulting a physical therapist to see which treatments might be most effective for you.
Plantar Fasciitis
Dry Needling: Plantar fasciitis is often associated with trigger points in the calf muscles or other muscles of the lower leg that can refer pain to the foot. Dry needling can target these trigger points, helping to alleviate referred pain and discomfort in the heel and arch of the foot.
