Conditions We Treat

At Petrosyan Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, primarily orthopedic in nature. These issues may stem from trauma, poor posture, muscle imbalances, nerve damage, overuse injuries (such as arthritis), post-operative complications, and more. If you’ve been dealing with a problem or pain that hasn’t been properly diagnosed or resolved, give one of our clinicians a try. Let us help identify the root cause of your symptoms and provide effective treatment to correct the issue.

Evaluation and Treatment Planning 

Evaluations are comprehensive and will help your therapist tailor your treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals. Hand therapy may include various interventions including: 

  • Heat or cold may be used for pain management and/or muscle relaxation 
  • Manual therapy to improve tissue, joint, scar and nerve mobility 
  • Therapeutic exercise to develop flexibility, joint stability, and muscular strength 
  • Neuromuscular re-education  
  • Splinting 
  • Pain management strategies 
  • Body mechanics 
  • Recommendations for adaptive equipment to help you with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, eating, and cooking.
