Diagnosis

What We Do >>

We conduct a thorough examination including the head, neck, spine and arms. We determine the root cause of your symptoms to ensure that physical therapy treatment is the best option for you.

How We Do It >>

We examine posture, range of motion, strength, reflexes, sensation, soft tissue mobility, joint mobility, nerve mobility, and functional movements to create a custom treatment plan. We also take into account any imaging that you have had like X-Rays, MRI, CT scans, etc.

Why We Do It >>

Recent research has actually shown that physical therapy is a better option than surgery, pain medication and injections. We can help you avoid unnecessary invasive procedures and tests that cost a fortune with limited effectiveness.

Did you know?! Shoulder impingement is very common and often resolves with conservative care. We closely examine movement at the neck, shoulder blade, and thoracic spine as limited mobility and strength in these areas can lead to shoulder impingement.

Try this!!! Sit upright and pull your shoulder blades back and down (think about sliding your shoulder blades into your back pocket). This can help open up your shoulder joint to allow more freedom of movement!

What Our
Patients Are Saying

Today was my first session and I enjoyed every minute of it. The best part of all was that I left feeling like my arm pain will get better and I will be able to do all of the sports that I want to. Dr. Balogh is knowledgeable and took the time to teach me all of the exercises and explain in detail how they would help me recover. I have heard many stories about physical therapy clinics that leave you to do everything on your own with little to no guidance, this place is definitely the opposite of that. Will recommend to my family members!
