Orthopedic Physical Therapy

From nagging headaches and stiff necks to shoulder impingement, low back pain, or tingling in your toes; your symptoms often stem from underlying issues in the neuromusculoskeletal system.

This includes the complex network of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and peripheral nerves that work together to support movement and function.

At Tualatin Valley Physical Therapy, we specialize in outpatient orthopedic care designed to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Whether your discomfort is caused by injury, overuse, postural habits, or chronic strain, we take a whole-body approach to identify the source and not just the symptoms.

Each treatment plan is customized to your needs and goals. Your care may include:

• Hands-on manual therapy to reduce pain and improve joint mobility
• Targeted exercises to build strength, correct imbalances, and enhance flexibility
• Movement retraining to restore natural, efficient motion
• Education to help you understand your condition and prevent reinjury

Acute Injury Care

Injuries can happen suddenly, and when they do, early intervention is key.

At Tualatin Valley Physical Therapy, our acute injury care services are designed to provide fast, effective treatment for recent injuries such as sprains, strains, fractures, and other trauma that result in pain, swelling, or limited movement.

We focus on stabilizing your condition and jumpstarting your recovery with:

• Comprehensive evaluation to assess the type and severity of the injury
• Targeted treatment to reduce pain, inflammation, and tissue damage
• Protective strategies to prevent complications or reinjury
• Early, guided movement to promote healing and restore function safely

Prompt care not only minimizes downtime but also leads to better long-term outcomes. Whether your injury happened during sports, at work, or in daily life, we’re here to help you recover quickly and return to the activities you enjoy with confidence and peace of mind.
