Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and mobility limitations through customized treatment plans. Using manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises, and advanced equipment, we help patients recover from surgeries, sports injuries, and work-related conditions. The therapy focuses on restoring function, reducing pain, and preventing future injuries while accommodating individual patient needs and goals.
Concussion Therapy
Specialized concussion management combines vestibular rehabilitation, vision therapy, and gradual return-to-activity protocols. Our certified therapists assess balance, coordination, and cognitive function to create individualized recovery programs. Treatment addresses symptoms like dizziness, headaches, and concentration difficulties while monitoring progress through objective testing to ensure safe return to daily activities.
Sports Injury Recovery
Comprehensive sports rehabilitation programs treat acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting athletes of all levels. Services include functional movement analysis, sport-specific strengthening, and performance enhancement training. Our therapists work closely with coaches and trainers to develop safe return-to-play timelines while implementing injury prevention strategies tailored to each athlete's sport and position.
Acupuncture
Licensed acupuncturists provide traditional Chinese medicine treatments for pain management and wellness. Fine needles stimulate specific points to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing processes. This service addresses chronic pain conditions, stress-related disorders, and recovery from musculoskeletal injuries as part of an integrative treatment approach.
Geriatric Care
Specialized physical therapy addresses age-related conditions like arthritis, balance disorders, and post-fall recovery. Treatment focuses on improving mobility, preventing falls, and maintaining independence through strength training, balance exercises, and home safety assessments. Therapists modify interventions to accommodate age-related changes while promoting active lifestyles for senior patients.

Ive been very impressed with the results on my knee from physical therapy at Pinnacle over the past few months. Not only has the therapy been beneficial but the knowledge passed along is invaluable. It has helped get the right mindset on my recovering and moving into the future. Staff is excellent and post PT dinner debates has really opened my eyes to whats out there.

Danny, chrissy and thier staff are the best. Very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. They have helped me recover from two separate surgeries on different parts of my body. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my PT needs. #Pinnacle2therescue

Can't rave enough about the staff from owners through receptionists. Professional always but with a sense of humor making you feel at home even when they are pushing you to your best. Had my knee replaced and they had me walking in no time. I would recommend to young and old as the place to go.
