"DO YOU TREAT MY Condition?"
Chances are, in nearly a decade of practice as a physical therapist, I've worked with your condition or diagnosis! The free consultation call is the first step to ensuring that your condition is one that I can confidently help with.
Here are some of the most common conditions I treat:
- Sprains
- Strains
- Tendon pain
- Fractures
- Knee pain
- Foot and ankle pain
- Hip pain
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- BPPV (positional vertigo)
- Post-concussive syndrome
- Orthopedic surgeries (post-surgical care)
If you're dealing with a more specialized issue such as a pelvic floor issue, TMJ dysfunction, finger/hand injury, I may not be the right fit for you but I can try to refer you to the appropriate provider.
Same-day vertigo (bppv) treatment
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most debilitating acute conditions... but treatment can be surprisingly quick and effective! Often people with this condition will experience sudden dizziness which gets worse with rising from bed, rolling over in bed, bending forward or other changes in head position.
For a true BPPV (there are multiple conditions with similar symptoms) the treatment often includes the 'Epley Maneuver', which is a series of movements designed to re-orient the vestibular system (within the inner ear). In many cases this maneuver can produce rapid improvement.
In my years of experience as a PT, I've found that it can be difficult and frustrating for people to quickly get help for this condition as they often run into multiple road-blocks that delay treatment:
- Waiting to see the Doctor
- Getting a referral for physical therapy
- Actually finding a physical therapist that treats vertigo
- Getting a timely appointment with the therapist
For this reason, I offer same-day BPPV treatment...if you're in Rhode Island and you need vertigo treatment call or text (401) 449-6190 and I'll happily get you in for a 60-minute appointment to address your dizziness, imbalance or disequilibrium.
