Chronic pain is persistent pain that last for weeks, months or years.  For some, chronic pain is the result of an injury, like a sprained back, or an ongoing problem like arthritis.  For others, chronic pain occurs in the absence of a past injury.

A hand, wrist, or shoulder injury can quickly compromise your quality of life whether it’s accident induced, a symptom of overuse, or has been brought on by a disease. Williams Physical Therapy can get to the root of the problem, making adjustments to relieve pain that are well beyond what medicine could do alone.

Manual physical therapy is a hands-on technique that is used to decrease pain and improve range-of-motion and flexibility to stiff joints and muscles.

Current research confirms that manual physical therapy combined with therapeutic exercise can produce rapid pain relief and improved function in the following conditions: low-back pain, neck pain, muscle tension headaches, hip and knee osteoarthritis, and shoulder pain.

Orthopaedic physical therapy is used to treat both non-surgical and post-surgical patients with the following conditions: arthritis, muscle weakness and imbalance, spinal and other joint alignment dysfunction, post-operative or inflammatory swelling, post-fractures, joint and muscle pain, and tendonitis and bursitis.

Vertigo is the sensation of spinning.  Even when you’re staying still, you may feel as if you’re moving or the room is moving around you.  Causes include inner ear infections or disorders, migraines, tumors, stroke, head injury, and more.
