Orthopedic Rehab
Our Portland Physical Therapists Rehabilitate Orthopedic Injuries
We can help you with orthopedic injuries such as low back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, and all other sorts of muscle, tendon, joint, or nerve injuries. Whether it’s providing hands-on techniques to improve mobility and reduce pain or empowering you with exercise programs to build strength, our team can be your solution to getting back to pain-free movement.
We offer patient-driven physical therapy for a wide variety of orthopedic injuries. Here are just a few of the common injuries we diagnose and treat in our clinics.
- Low back pain and Sciatica: Localized low back pain as well as sciatica, or nerve pain that runs down the back of your leg, can both be improved with physical therapy. Hands-on techniques to improve spinal and muscle mobility can reduce pain in the short term, and stabilization and strengthening exercise programs can help reduce the risk of injury reoccurring.
- Shoulder pain: Rotator-cuff injuries, dislocations, or tight shoulders significantly affect your ability to take care of yourself, play sports and perform normal daily activities. Manual therapy techniques to improve joint mobility and shoulder complex strengthening can get your shoulder moving well and pain-free!
- Knee pain: Osteoarthritis, dislocations, and sprains all affect the knee’s ability to bend and straighten and can result in a loss of strength and function. Strengthening, stretching, and hands-on techniques to improve muscular and joint mobility can be effective in improving your ability to walk, run, squat, or jump.
- Neck pain: Car accidents, postural strains, and overuse injuries can all affect your neck’s ability to move comfortably. Mobilizing the thoracic spine (upper back) and providing hands-on techniques to decrease muscle tension through the neck and shoulders can help to alleviate neck pain. Appropriate upper back and neck strengthening can also help the muscles feel looser as well as keep the pain from returning.
If you’re not moving as well as you’d like, we are here to help you in getting back to moving at your best!

I am so grateful for his help. He and his team are friendly and professional. I would highly recommend John as a PT and the Creekside clinic team.
