Osteoporosis
Headaches
Arthritis
There are many forms of arthritis with most forms being categorized as either Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis generally occurs from â€œwear and tearâ€ on the joints, while Rheumatoid arthritis is actually an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the joints. Both forms of arthritis frequently occur in the wrist and hand. In addition to medical management, occupational therapy may be prescribed. Therapy goals are to decrease joint inflammation, improve joint range of motion, and provide education on joint protection techniques as well as to provide equipment to relieve strain on the affected joints during daily activities. Therapists may also fabricate rigid splints to rest and immobilize joints during a â€œflare-upâ€ and recommend a variety of soft splints that support joints during hand use.
Fibromyalgia
Muscle spasms, back pain and fibromyalgia are just some of the conditions that respond well to physical therapy conducted in water, which decreases stress on joints, making it easier to exercise. This treatment is appropriate for all ability levels and can be prescribed during all stages of rehabilitation.
Plantar Fasciitis
Catchall phrase used to describe pain along the inside arch and heel. Increased pain occurs upon the first few steps in the morning or after prolonged sitting.Â Plantar fasciitis can occur in individuals with poor foot biomechanics (excessive foot pronation), decreased flexibility and strength in the surrounding musculature.Â Ice massage and rolling the foot over a rolling pin may help reduce pain and irritation. Proper shoe wear and walking analysis should be addressed as well.
Primary Care
We accept all major insurance plans. A list of our in-network insurance plans are available online so it is easy for you to see if your plan is covered. Our team also verifies your insurance coverage and communicates a quote of therapy benefits from your insurance carrier before you start. Please note that verification of coverage is only a quote and not a guarantee of payment. We encourage you to call your insurance company and also to verify benefits. If asked, you can inform your insurance carrier that our place of service/type of location is classified as â€œservice place elevenâ€ which just means office setting. To assure the highest level of coverage, we encourage you to review any possible limitations and requirements your plan might have. Some common requirements and limitations include: co-pay required by the patient at the time of service, referrals required from primary care physicians (PCP) at the initial visit, therapy visit limitations per calendar year, pre-certifications, deductible and co-insurance obligations. We are here to help you gain a clearer understanding of your insurance coverage and claim procedures so you can get the treatment you need. If you donâ€™t find your insurance provider on the lists below, please contact the Billing Center at 888-212-7925.
Emergency Care
Because the brain is very complex, every concussion is different. This includes the presentation of symptoms and recovery time. Some symptoms may appear immediately, while others may not appear for hours or days. Sometimes, the injury makes it difficult for people to recognize or admit that they are having problems. Less than 5 percent of concussions cause a loss of consciousness. A loss of consciousness is not required for a diagnosis of concussion, nor is it related to recovery time. Itâ€™s important to watch for signs after the injury occurs. If you suspect someone has a concussion, we recommend going to the emergency room at the nearest hospital immediately.
Urinary Incontinence
From preventive to restorative care, our womenâ€™s health therapy experts specialize in providing effective treatment options. Our experts can determine the best approach for breast cancer, prenatal and postnatal care, and design ways to manage chronic pelvic pain and such conditions as diastasis recti, osteoporosis and urinary incontinence.

Pelvic Pain

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in your wrist that allows nine tendons in the fingers and thumb, as well as the median nerve, to travel into the hand. Pressure inside the carpal tunnel may be increased by repetitive wrist motions, gripping, or sustained wrist and finger positions. This increased pressure on the nerve may cause wrist pain, numbness and tingling in the thumb and first two fingers, and eventual hand weakness.

Endocrinologist

Hypothyroidism
This condition involves stiffening (freezing) and inflammation of the soft tissues (joint capsule and ligaments) that surround the shoulder joint. The stiffening of these structures creates severe loss of functional shoulder movement, pain surrounding the joint, and an inability to sleep on the affected side. The time for complete resolution of shoulder range of motion can vary between 12 to 36 months. The incidence for this condition is approximately 2% within the general population and from 10-35% within the diabetic patient population. Other common factors related to an increase in the prevalence of this condition include cervical spine (neck) disorders, hypothyroidism, and prolonged post-surgical or post-traumatic immobilization of the shoulder.

MRI
A stress fracture can occur in any bone; however, one area common for injury is at the 5th metatarsal or the lateral bone of the foot. Usually the area of the fracture is point tender and feels worse with running and sometimes with walking.Â A stress fracture is typically diagnosed with the use of a bone scan or an MRI.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Early intervention of physical therapy can eliminate the need for unnecessary medication, surgery or extensive imaging tests â€“ including X-Rays, MRIs and CT scans. And if you do need to see a specialist, our therapists will refer you to the right healthcare professionals. This ensures that you receive the quality care you need, right from the beginning.

Orthopedics

Whiplash
The basic mechanism of a whiplash injury involves acceleration of the head and cervical spine (neck) relative to the rest of the body.Â A common occurrence resulting in an acceleration injury involves the collision of two motor vehicles; however, whiplash may also occur as a direct result of participation within high-velocity, contact sports such as football.Â The classic mechanism of injury, however, is a passenger within a motor vehicle struck from behind.Â Most patients report significant neck pain, stiffness, and muscle spasm occasionally accompanied with headaches.Â Symptom onset is typically experienced within two days following the initial injury.
Arthroscopy
Have you had a hip arthroscopy or replacement? Are you trying to avoid hip surgery? Physical therapy is an excellent option for treatment before and after hip surgery. Our therapists can help alleviate hip/groin pain and improve mobility in this crucial joint using manual therapy and appropriate exercise progression.
Wound Care
Pinched Nerve
Joint Replacement
Are you planning a joint replacement or other surgery? Do you have difficulty leaving your home due to mobility or transportation issues? Or, would you simply prefer the convenience of receiving physical therapy services in the privacy and comfort of your home? If any of these are true, Athletico Home Therapy is the solution for you!

Frozen Shoulder
Tennis Elbow
Also known as lateral epicondylitis. Tennis elbow stems from overuse, improper muscle strength, and repetitive movement of the wrist or elbow where the tendons at the elbow become stressed due to poor mechanics (i.e. typing, racquetball, tennis, golf). Localized pain at the lateral (outside) elbow is present with wrist and elbow movement. Pain can become so intense that lifting a glass of water may be a chore!Â Tennis elbow can be difficult to relieve if mechanics and flexibility/strength issues are not addressed. Ice massage and anti-inflammatories may help with the acute pain, but therapy may be required to address proper work and leisure ergonomics as well as muscle imbalances. Thermal or electrical modalities may be used to decrease inflammation and promote tissue healing. Splinting of the wrist may also be utilized to rest the muscles around the elbow during this time of healing. Many sporting goods stores carry straps that are placed below the elbow to help reduce pain. While these straps may be beneficial for some, they should not be considered as a cure-all, and improper use may even worsen symptoms. Our professional staff will also be able to analyze your golf swing or racquet stroke to prevent further injury.
Shoulder Pain
Ankle Sprain
The peroneal tendons are the tendons at the outside of the ankle. In some instances, these tendons can become injured resulting in swelling and pain at the outside of the ankle, slightly underneath the outer ankle bone. These tendons can also be injured following a lateral ankle sprain when the peroneal muscle is forced to contract quickly to prevent the ankle from rolling inward too far. Ice and compression is helpful in managing this injury acutely but if pain persists, seeking medical attention may be helpful in resolving the injury completely.
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Manual Therapy
Athletico is deeply committed to advanced certification and training for our clinicians, ensuring they excel in differential diagnosis, clinical reasoning, manual therapy, and exercise prescription. This commitment enhances the quality of care provided to patients and offers significant benefits to our referral sources. By developing clinicians with these specialized skills, we reduce unnecessary medical expenditures within our communities, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate and effective treatment. This leads to better patient outcomes, increased satisfaction among referral sources, and a more efficient healthcare system overall.

Achilles Tendonitis
The Achilles tendon is the large tendon found at the back side of the foot and ankle. This tendon attaches the calf muscles to the ankle and allows the ankle to be pointed in a downward position and propel us when we walk. This tendon injury is characterized by pain with walking and swelling and tenderness at the tendon. The tendon will typically feel worse with walking and running.
Ankle Sprain
This injury is typically found in athletics when an individual â€œrollsâ€ their ankle. Often times, this injury is characterized by swelling at the outside ankle bone (lateral malleolus) with possible bruising if the injury is severe enough. An ankle sprain results in damage to the ligaments of the outer ankle, although a small fracture can occur at the outer ankle bone. Initial management of this injury should include rest, ice with compression, and elevation of the leg to decrease swelling.
Plantar Fasciitis
This technique can treat headaches, back pain, plantar fasciitis and knee problems among other conditions. ART is a soft tissue, movement-based therapy that clinicians use to evaluate texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves.
