Physical Therapy
This branch of medicine aims to help you lessen pain and restore or improve mobility. The physical therapy clinic has the equipment to help you and your family reduce the risks of needing surgery. If you require invasive surgery, we can assist you in returning to a fully functioning, active lifestyle.
Our doctors help you taper off or even, in many cases, remove the need for prescription pain medication that can have significant side effects. As insurance carriers, internal medicine physicians of all backgrounds and government entities create programs to reduce America’s reliance on opioids. Physical therapy can step in and take its place in many situations.
Amazing experience with physical therapy here at Century Medical.
The front staff especially Noel she has been amazing throughout my whole recovery journey. I recommend the place to anyone who wants a joyous and respectful experience. Century Medical has absolutely changed my outlook on the medical field and practices the way they make me feel not like a patient but like family is an experience that words cannot even describe i feel at home when i come here. Also the practice is very clean.
Came here for the 1st time for a Physical Therapy appointment. Receptionist was sweet and helpful. Facility is very clean. My PT aid was patient and listened to my concerns. It was quiet and I’m not sure if this is the norm but I appreciated it as I was able to be focused on personally.

IN ADDITION, THE MANAGER IS VERY HANDS ON AND PROVIDES GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! I WILL RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY
I love this new office! Very convenient location! I have been there 3 times and it was a good experience each time, no matter which doctor I saw. Front desk personnel are friendly and helpful always and doctors and nurses are helpful and thorough. My PT Krupa Doshi is a fantastic physical therapist, I have experienced lots of improvement with my knee so far. I can definitely recommend them, minimal waiting time is a huge bonus.
I really liked the girls in this clinic. The physical therapist, especially Alima, she has golden hands, she cured me. Thank you very much.🙏
Therapeutic Exercise & Rehabilitation Programs
You may be referred to a physical therapist from any number of other specialty practices, such as:
Cardiology, after undergoing heart surgery or following a stroke or heart attack
Family practice, when your kids need rehabilitation following a sports injury, or you broke your arm in a bad fall
Dietitian, when you’re working on a weight loss program for your health
Pain management, as part of your therapy as dictated by your back pain specialist or surgeon
Orthopedic surgery following a surgical procedure that affected your mobility
Your treatment may begin with regular visits to our office. However, it always ends with you receiving detailed instructions on maintaining your recovery, continuing with mobility and exercise plans, staying healthy, and avoiding further procedures. After our staff has taught you how to maintain your routine correctly, you may eventually limit or eliminate trips to the office.
Conditions We Treat With Physical Therapy
Sports medicine experts and back pain physicians provide services for various ailments, accidents, and recovery processes.
Some of the most common conditions that may require our services include:
Ligament sprains. Nearly 85% of all ligament sprains occur in the ankle. Basketball players are especially prone to severe ankle ligament sprains. Your doctor usually recommends taping and rest first, followed by a slow return to weight-bearing exercises.
Muscle and tendon sprains. Twists fall, and overuse can lead to tendon and muscle sprains. Often referred to as a pulled muscle, excessive exercising is one cause. High-speed activities like running and applying sustained pressure, such as sitting too long with poor posture, are equally taxing on tendons and muscles. Our doctors can ease you back into playing while teaching you the proper form to prevent future problems.
Frozen shoulder. This condition occurs when you don’t fully stretch before using your shoulders or leave your arm still, as in a sling after an injury or surgery. You must learn proper stretching techniques and do them regularly to prevent a recurrence.
Achilles tendonitis. Most common among athletes and active adults. Physical therapy can dramatically ease the pain from this condition. You will learn proper stretches and strengthening exercises during this treatment. Our medical team may provide you with massage or ultrasound heat therapy as you heal.
Your doctor may appoint physical therapy for other conditions, including:
When you undergo treatment, we’ll likely introduce you to many tools to aid in your recovery.
We commonly use the following tools:
Paraffin wax is an effective drug-free regimen that’s useful for arthritis-related mobility problems and aching hands
Hot/cold packs, which are used as alternating treatments to reduce inflammation and pain
Treadmills are incorporated into the back pain specialist’s repertoire because they’re useful for easing you back into a walking routine that you learn how to do properly
TENS, electrical stimulation tools common in our practice
Massage bars, which we often use to work out the kinks you may get when recovering from sprains and strains
Exercise bands that make easy-to-use resistance tools, helping you rebuild strength
When combined with other healthy lifestyle changes, physical therapy can serve as the catalyst you need to resume an active lifestyle.
