The Science of Movement
Physical therapy is more than just exercise. It is a clinical healthcare discipline that addresses the root cause of musculoskeletal pain through:
- ✓ Manual Therapy: Hands-on joint and soft tissue mobilization.
- ✓ Neuromuscular Re-education: Retraining how your brain controls your muscles.
- ✓ Biomechanical Analysis: Correcting the walking or lifting patterns that cause injury.
Why Choose PT First?
Clinical research consistently shows that Physical Therapy achieves outcomes comparable to surgery for back pain and knee arthritis, but at a fraction of the cost and zero surgical risk. We focus on active recovery that empowers you to stay healthy for life.
Physical Therapy vs. Alternatives
Evidence-based care vs. temporary symptom relief.
VS. Cortisone Injections
Injections mask pain for 6-12 weeks but don't address the muscle weakness causing the wear and tear. PT provides long-term mechanical correction.
VS. Chiropractic
We combine manual joint mobilization with strengthening. While adjustments feel good, strength is what keeps the joint in place permanently.
VS. Corporate PT Chains
Most clinics use aides or assistants. At Spectrum, you are treated by Dr. Rob Letizia for every visit. This continuity of care leads to faster results.
