General Practitioners

• Arthritis
  Rheumatoid arthritis is another type of arthritis, although it is not as easily understood. It develops as an autoimmune response, meaning that the immune system sees your joints as a threat and decides to attack them.
• Fibromyalgia
  Do you know if you have been living with fibromyalgia? It can sometimes be difficult to tell, as the symptoms can vary. It is normal to experience a little bit of pain from time to time. You may feel sore from exercising too much, or you may stub your toe on a piece of furniture. Most of the time, you’re able to shake it off or take ibuprofen and go about your day. However, sometimes you can experience pain that’s widespread and chronic, failing to diminish despite your best efforts. This can cause a large impact on your life that anti-inflammatory drugs simply will not fix.
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Stroke Rehabilitation
  Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults. Hands On Physical Therapy can help relieve the effects of a stroke by working to improve balance, walking, and the use of assistive devices. Common therapies for post-stroke rehabilitation include constraint-induced movement therapy, functional electrical stimulation, motor image, partial body weight support, and neuro therapy techniques, such as biofeedback.
• Pediatric Care
• Urinary Incontinence
  With pregnancy, the body experiences many changes, including postural adjustments, increased load on the pelvic floor, and stretching and thickening of the ligaments. The many changes that your body goes through can cause back pain and pelvic floor issues. Muscle weakness may also lead to urinary incontinence and difficulty activating core muscles.

Neurologists

• Neurology
  By participating in physical therapy treatments following a neurological injury, you can improve your function, perform targeted activities, and regain your independence much faster. PTs specializing in neurology work with patients who have a wide range of neurological disorders, including, but not limited to...
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  One very common reason for hand and wrist pain is carpal tunnel syndrome. If you notice your hands, wrists, or forearms ache daily, or that typing and lifting have become particularly difficult and uncomfortable for you, you may have this condition.
• Multiple Sclerosis
  Common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include pain, fatigue, and weakness. Fortunately, physical therapy can help manage and decrease these symptoms. Our Cary, Fuquay Varina, or Zebulon, NC physical therapist will provide you with targeted stretches to ease muscle spasms and targeted exercises to increase strength and range of motion. You will also work on activities to help with balance and movement, in addition to being provided with information on the correct use of assistive devices.

Radiologist

• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  Lymphedema typically occurs as a result of surgical treatment involving the lymph nodes. It is most common in surgical cancer treatments where the lymph nodes are removed or damaged. However, the cause of primary lymphedema isn’t always clear, and your physician may want to take additional imaging tests in order to look at your lymphatic system. This may include an MRI scan, CT scan, Doppler ultrasound, or lymphoscintigraphy.
• Iontophoresis
  Stretching and strengthening of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand, as well as modalities may be used in your treatment. These consist of technologies such as heat, cold laser, iontophoresis, ultrasound, and massage.
• Ultrasound
  Therapy will focus on improving your posture to speed up recovery of your neck muscles, as well as avoiding re-injury in the future. Some treatment plans may include ice and heat therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation, depending on your condition.
• MRI
  They may also review your medical history as well as perform diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound. Once your diagnosis has been determined, our physical therapist will create a specialized treatment plan for you, taking into account the nature of your injury, your fitness level, and your lifestyle. Their ultimate goal is to see you through to recovery and make sure you aren’t benched for a longer period of time than is necessary.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
  Are you looking for sciatica relief? Sciatica, or lumbar radiculopathy, affects the lower back. Inflammation of the sciatic nerve causes sciatica.
• Whiplash
  Musculoskeletal headaches occur when there are significant amounts of tension in the neck. This is typically a result of physical imbalances, weaknesses, or damage, although emotional tension (such as stress) can also be a contributing factor. A traumatic injury to the neck, such as whiplash, is a common cause of musculoskeletal headaches. With neck injuries such as whiplash, the muscles and connective tissues in the neck can become torn or strained. This can lead to agonizing pain felt in the head, as well as in the face, shoulders, or neck.
• Arthroscopy
  A jaw specialist may also use a dental splint to keep teeth properly aligned and prevent tooth grinding. Other types of medical treatment include trigger point acupuncture, joint replacement, or a TMJ arthroscopy.

Podiatrists

• Ankle Sprain
  Ankle discomfort can be caused by a number of different things. You may be unable to bear weight due to terribly painful ankle injuries. Even little discomfort can make it challenging to carry out regular tasks.
• Flat Feet
  Several tendons work together to form the arch of your foot. When the tendons pull together properly, your foot will form a proper arch. Your foot will form a very small arch or no arch at all if the tendons do not pull together properly. This is known as a “fallen arch” or “flat foot,” and it can cause pain or discomfort in the long run.
• Foot Pain
• Foot Injuries
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Inflammation of the connective tissue on the bottom of the foot causes plantar fasciitis. This might happen as a result of aggravated usage, such as prolonged standing, poor posture, or improper arch support in footwear.

• Frozen Shoulder
  This condition is also known as “adhesive capsulitis,” and is the result of your arm being in a case or sling for a while. It can also occur if you have been bedridden for a long time, unable to get up and move around. Women from the ages of 40 to 60 tend to experience this condition more than men, and some ethnicities are more predisposed to than others as well. Frozen shoulder results in a painful loss of motion in the shoulder with a tightening of the shoulder joint that severely limits motion.
• Tennis Elbow
  Medial (inside) epicondylitis, also known as “golfer’s elbow,” is an inflammation of the tendons surrounding the elbow. Tennis elbow is similar, but the pain is on the inside of the elbow. This injury is caused by the overuse of the muscles that flex your wrist and fingers.
