Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on improving mobility and reducing pain through customized treatment plans. Expert therapists use evidence-based techniques to address injuries, chronic conditions, and post-surgical recovery. Patients receive hands-on care combined with therapeutic exercises designed to restore function and prevent future injuries. Treatment programs emphasize patient education and home exercise routines for sustained improvement.
Chiropractic Care
Non-invasive chiropractic treatments address musculoskeletal conditions through spinal adjustments and manual therapies. Our certified practitioners treat back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries using natural healing approaches. Care plans integrate posture correction and lifestyle recommendations to optimize nervous system function and overall wellness. Patients benefit from drug-free pain management and improved joint mobility.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialized pelvic floor therapy addresses urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and post-partum recovery through targeted physical interventions. Therapists employ internal and external manual techniques combined with muscle retraining exercises. Treatment supports women's health needs through pregnancy, post-partum recovery, and menopause. Men benefit from prostate-related pain relief and post-surgical rehabilitation programs.
Acupuncture
Licensed acupuncturists provide traditional Chinese medicine treatments to alleviate pain and stress-related conditions. Sterile needle placement stimulates energy flow and triggers the body's natural healing response. Treatment protocols address chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, and sports injuries. Sessions integrate wellness counseling to promote mind-body balance and long-term health improvements.

What a fabulous location, and very helpful staff. Stephanie and Kiara go well out of their way to help their patients. My dad has a rare neurological condition that paralyzes him if he does not receive regular PT and medical attention. They not only help him get to/from his home, but they also make sure he receives the finest care. Would send my parents and friends here for sure.

At SPORTS MED, the Technicians that they have are always attentive to their patients. Also, all of the staff are very friendly. The facility is always clean . I would definitely recommend family, and friends to visit here. Also, they specialize in all types of injuries. Whether its your back, shoulders, legs, feet and many other specialities. I am speaking about my experience with SPORTSMED. When I come in, I have pain in my shoulders, but when I leave, I feel so much better thanks to my Therapist and the exercises they outline for me

All staff at SportsMed in Fair Lawn are extremely friendly and helpful throughout the therapy process. The admins are very knowledgeable about any insurance related questions (and more), the PT techs/aides are very attentive and knowledgeable, and the therapists really care about your recovery. During the COVID crisis, they observed all required policies like required temperature checks, masks, and limiting the number of patients to socially distance. Most important of all, the therapy has significantly enhanced my injury recovery. I highly recommend everyone to go here!

They have made my experience the best and helped me get better from a horrible car accident I had experienced. They are thorough from explaining insurance down to exercises to get better l.

The office staff is very nice and accommodating but the amount of time you actually work w/ a licensed PT is pretty minimal. Basically, its just the stretching and massage. I was going for about 6 weeks and my exercises were never changed as my body got stronger so the therapy became less effective. There are so many patients seen at once that theres little attention paid to individual patients.
