Orthopedic rehabilitation in the East Valley.

Someone finally named it: a joint, a tendon, a line on an imaging report. Here is what happens next.

What It Is

A diagnosis names it. The exam explains it.

Orthopedic rehab is care for the parts that carry you: joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Shoulders and hips. Knees and ankles. Elbows, wrists, necks and backs.

A diagnosis tells you which tissue is angry. It does not tell you what kept overloading it. So your evaluation tests the joint that hurts, then the joints above and below it, and works back to the reason.

You are the one who fixes what breaks. The truck, the fence, everybody else’s schedule. This repair needs a second set of hands, and that is the only reason to book.

Cause-first, joint by joint

What It Helps

Pick the joint. We take it from there.

Working around one joint is possible for a while. Then the list of things you skip gets longer than the list you still do.

Questions, Answered

The questions the orthopedist did not cover.

I already have a diagnosis. Why start with another exam?

Your diagnosis names the tissue. Your evaluation finds the reason that tissue keeps taking the load. We test the painful joint, then the joints above and below it, because the cause is often one of those. Bring your imaging and your notes. We read them, then we test you ourselves.

Will you work with my orthopedist?

Yes. We work inside any restriction your physician has given you, and we can send progress notes whenever you ask us to. If we find something that changes the picture, you hear it plainly and you get it in writing.

How many visits will this take?

You get an estimated number of visits at your evaluation, and a reason for the number. Your plan runs through all four phases, and you will always know which one you are in and what is left.
