What makes SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy different?

SpineScottsdale is a physical therapist owned and operated physical  therapy clinic that specializes in the assessment, diagnosis, and  treatment of spine and orthopedic physical therapy. In many unspecialized clinics, a general physical therapist will perform an evaluation without utilizing an evidence based assessment. This general physical therapist often will see a variety of problems everyday and has a limited understanding of how to treat specific types of spine problems. At best, a general physical therapist has taken a couple of courses on how to perform therapy on the spine.

You will be assigned to a physical therapist that has advanced clinical knowledge.  Our physical therapist has the following credentials:

• Doctorate of physical therapy
• Licensed physical therapist
• Certified in the Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy of the Spine and Extremities through the USA branch of the McKenzie Institute
• Board certified in orthopedics through the American Physical Therapy Association
• Certified in athletic training through the National Athletic Trainers Association
• Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association
• Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist through the Back School of Atlanta
• Certified Osteoporosis Physical Therapist in the Meeks Method
• Certified Postural Physical Therapist through the National Posture Institute 

SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy is locally owned and operated by a physical therapist who is committed to providing his patients the finest possible rehabilitation by having relaxed, meaningful appointments, strong physical therapist-patient relationships, and a superior level of care and service. Many productivity based physical therapy clinics force the physical therapist to greatly increase their patient volume and utilize techs because insurance companies are reimbursing less. This in turn has resulted in rushed, superficial appointments, weak physical therapist-patient relationships, and a diminished level of care and service. Rather than accept this as the status quo and possibly compromise the patients health, SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy only uses therapists, not techs, in an  environment where the patient's interests are the only interests we need to consider.
