Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons people seek physical therapy — and among the most treatable. Whether your pain came on suddenly after a strain or has been building for years, our therapists will identify the root cause and create a plan that gets you moving comfortably again. 

We commonly treat: 

• Lower back pain and lumbar strain 
• Upper back and thoracic pain 
• Neck pain and cervical stiffness 
• Herniated or bulging discs 
• Sciatica and radiating leg or arm pain 
• Degenerative disc disease 
• Spinal stenosis 
• Postural pain from desk work or prolonged sitting 
• Whiplash and neck injuries 
• Muscle spasms and tension 

Our hands-on approach combines manual therapy, targeted strengthening, postural correction, and movement retraining to reduce pain, restore function, and help you prevent future flare-ups without relying on medication or waiting for surgery.

Whether you're a competitive athlete or someone who stays active through recreational sports, an injury doesn't have to sideline you for long. At Apex, we specialize in both getting you back in the game quickly and helping you move in ways that reduce your risk of re-injury. 

We commonly treat: 

• ACL, MCL, and meniscus injuries 
• Rotator cuff strains and tears 
• Hamstring, quad, and groin strains 
• Ankle sprains and ligament injuries 
• Shin splints and stress fractures 
• Runner's knee (patellofemoral syndrome) 
• Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow 
• Concussion management and return-to-sport 
• Sports-specific movement screening and injury prevention 
• Return-to-sport programming after surgery or injury 

Our sports rehab team combines evidence-based treatment with sport-specific training to restore your strength, stability, and confidence. We'll work with your timeline and your goals — whether that's returning to Friday night leagues or competing at the highest level. 

Upper extremity pain can make everyday tasks like reaching overhead, lifting groceries,or typing at a desk, feel difficult or impossible. Our therapists are skilled at diagnosing and treating the full range of shoulder, elbow, and wrist conditions to restore your strength and range of motion. 

We commonly treat: 

• Rotator cuff injuries and impingement 
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) 
• Shoulder instability and labral tears 
• Post-surgical shoulder rehabilitation 
• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) 
• Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) 
• Elbow bursitis 
• Carpal tunnel syndrome 
• Wrist sprains and fractures 
• De Quervain's tenosynovitis 
• Trigger finger 

Through a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and modalities like ultrasound or dry needling, we address pain at its source and help you regain the function you need for work, sport, and life. 

Your hips, knees, and ankles carry you through every step of your day. When pain, stiffness, or instability shows up in any of these joints, it can affect your gait, your balance, and your ability to stay active. We treat the full range of lower extremity conditions from acute injuries to chronic joint pain. 

We commonly treat: 

• Hip pain, bursitis, and hip flexor strains 
• IT band syndrome 
• Hip labral tears 
• Pre- and post-surgical hip rehabilitation (including total hip replacement) 
• Knee pain and runner's knee 
• ACL, PCL, and meniscus injuries 
• Pre- and post-surgical knee rehabilitation (including total knee replacement) 
• Patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee) 
• Ankle sprains and instability 
• Achilles tendinitis and tendon injuries 
• Plantar fasciitis and heel pain 
• Balance and gait issues related to lower extremity pain 

We take a whole-body approach to lower extremity care, because knee pain is often rooted in hip weakness, and ankle instability can come from how you move up the chain. Our therapists treat the source, not just the symptom. 

Dizziness, spinning sensations, and balance problems can feel frightening and unpredictable — but they are highly treatable with the right physical therapy approach. Many people don't realize that a physical therapist can be one of the most effective providers for vestibular and balance conditions. 

We commonly treat: 

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) 
• Vestibular hypofunction 
• Labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis 
• Cervicogenic dizziness (dizziness related to neck issues) 
• Balance disorders and fall prevention 
• Post-concussion dizziness and balance problems 
• Unsteadiness with walking or position changes 

Our therapists use specialized techniques including canalith repositioning maneuvers (such as the Epley maneuver), vestibular rehabilitation exercises, and balance training to reduce dizziness, improve stability, and restore your confidence in daily movement. Many patients experience significant improvement within just a few visits. 

Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) develop gradually from repeated motions, sustained postures, or overuse, and they can affect workers, athletes, and anyone whose daily routine involves repetitive movement. Catching and treating these injuries early makes a significant difference in recovery time. 

We commonly treat: 

• Carpal tunnel syndrome 
• Tendinitis (wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, Achilles) 
• Bursitis 
• De Quervain's tenosynovitis 
• Trigger finger 
• Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow 
• Thoracic outlet syndrome 
• Neck and upper back pain from computer work or overhead tasks 
• Work-related musculoskeletal disorders 

At Apex, we don't just treat the injury we help you understand and modify the movement patterns or ergonomic factors contributing to your pain. Our goal is to get you out of pain and help you stay that way long-term. 

Living with chronic pain (pain that persists for three months or more) can be exhausting, isolating, and deeply disruptive to every area of life. Fibromyalgia, in particular, brings widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and sensitivity that often goes misunderstood. At Apex, we approach chronic pain with the time, care, and complexity it deserves. 

We commonly treat: 

• Fibromyalgia 
• Chronic low back pain 
• Chronic neck pain 
• Myofascial pain syndrome 
• Central sensitization 
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) 
• Chronic headaches with a musculoskeletal component 
• Pain associated with hypermobility or EDS 

We use a multi-dimensional approach to chronic pain that goes beyond treating tissues, addressing movement patterns, nervous system regulation, activity pacing, and functional goals that matter to you. Our therapists listen, and they don't give up. Healing from chronic pain is possible, and we're here to walk that road with you. 

Surgery is often just the beginning of your recovery, and what you do before and after your procedure matters enormously. Starting physical therapy before surgery (called prehabilitation) has been shown to improve outcomes, reduce recovery time, and help patients feel more confident and prepared going in. After surgery, our team will guide you through every stage of healing. 

We commonly treat: 

• Total knee replacement (TKR) rehabilitation 
• Total hip replacement (THR) rehabilitation 
• ACL reconstruction recovery 
• Rotator cuff repair rehabilitation 
• Spinal surgery recovery (disc, fusion, laminectomy) 
• Shoulder replacement rehabilitation 
• Prehabilitation before any orthopedic procedure 
• Post-surgical strengthening and return to function 
• Scar tissue management and wound healing support 

We work closely with your surgeon to ensure your rehabilitation plan aligns with their protocol and your personal recovery goals. From your first post-op visit through your return to full activity, we're with you every step of the way. Don't wait weeks to be seen, we get you in quickly after surgery so your recovery starts on the right foot.
