Conditions We Can Treat

They will also look for any signs of inflammation and pinpoint specific areas that trigger discomfort when they are moved around or poked at.
Step 2: Imaging Review
Testing can give insight into why you are experiencing the pain that you are. Whether we refer you out or perform the test in house it will help determine what the best course of treatment may be.
MRIs: For a better look at the soft tissue in the knee such as the tendons, ligaments or your meniscus.
X-rays: Which will show arthritis, dislocations or fractures.
Ultrasound: Used to observe muscle and joint movement for a more accurate diagnosis.
Step 3: Consultation/Treatment Plan

Analyzing what physical activities you are performing that may be aggravating your knees contributing to the pain you are experiencing.
Diet, exercise and your daily habits that may be impacting your condition.
I love working with the physical therapist! He’s very nice, professional & gives great advice on how to improve my health. I definitely will return there for PT. Thank you, Dr. Brian!
Great place. They properly diagnosed my knee problem and were able to get me back to walking and my normal activity in a few weeks. Would go back if I ever need PT again.
I was very pleased with my PT sessions at OP Physical Therapy. They assisted me following a no-fault car accident. Jake, my physical therapist, was excellent and he did a wonderful job assessing my health needs and creating a PT plan to help with recovery. Also, I appreciated that they were willing to accept my no-fault car insurance. Thanks for being there. I appreciate it!
I highly recommend Dr. Burns and Dr. Fay, best Physical therapy. They really care about getting you better.
