Conditions We Treat

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the result of a blow to the head or body with an impulsive force transmitted to the head. These can have different severity, the mildest of which is also called concussion. Common causes of TBI include participation in contact sports, falls, motor vehicle collisions, and assaults.

With trigger finger, the flexor tendon that controls finger and thumb movement gets stuck. This restricts movement of the finger or thumb, causing a tender lump in the palm, swelling, a popping or pain as the finger straightens, stiffness, or the finger/thumb to be stuck in a bent position. Certain repetitive hand uses and some illnesses like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis can cause trigger finger, and it is most often seen in women.

A fracture, or break, in the shinbone just below the knee is called a proximal tibia fracture. The proximal tibia is the upper portion of the bone where it widens to help form the knee joint.

Walking, running, or moving around on foot is referred to as “gait.” Gait abnormalities or walking abnormalities are usually caused by a disease or injury in the leg, foot, brain, spine, or inner ear. PT can help improve muscle strength and stability and balance to improve gait mobility and function.

The radius is the larger of the two bones of the forearm. The end toward the wrist is called the distal end. A fracture of the distal radius occurs when the area of the radius near the wrist breaks.
