Services
Physical Therapy
Our orthopedic clinical specialists design evidence-based rehabilitation programs for musculoskeletal conditions. Using advanced assessment techniques, we create customized treatment plans to restore mobility and reduce pain. Services include post-injury recovery, postpartum corrective exercises, and chronic pain management.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Effective for plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and joint injuries, it improves blood flow and breaks down scar tissue. Most patients experience relief after 3-5 sessions with no downtime required.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses concentrated blood components to accelerate tissue repair. Our high-dose PRP delivers seven times standard platelet concentration for enhanced healing. Treats osteoarthritis, ligament tears, and sports injuries with natural growth factors from your own body.
PelviPower Therapy
Non-invasive electromagnetic therapy strengthens pelvic floor muscles through targeted stimulation. Addresses postpartum recovery, urinary incontinence, and core stability issues. Sessions require no physical effort, with measurable improvements in strength and function after six treatments.
Health Coaching
Board-certified nurse health coaches develop personalized wellness plans integrating nutrition, exercise, and recovery strategies. Services complement medical treatments to optimize long-term outcomes. Focus areas include gut health, nutritional support, and activity-specific conditioning programs.

After visiting the SMaRT Institute on a business mission and meeting Dr. Vogt, I experienced an amazing feeling of positive health, saw a waiting room filled with patients that were smiling and simply looked happy. I am a devout believer in their mission of putting our bodies in a situation to heal itself becoming more healthy and best of all happy with an improved quality of life. That's what I took away fromThe SMaRT Institute and Dr. Vogt's practice.

I was referred to Dr Hunnius by my physical therapist in January 2020. I had severe tears to my tendons in both of my elbows also know as tennis elbow. I did not know much about Plasma injections and Dr Hunnius took time to explain everything to me. Prior to meeting Dr Hunnius I looked into many options including surgery. I elected to do the plasma injections and it was the best decision of my life.
I did 2 rounds of injections and now feel better than I have in more than 2 years! This is not a quick fix like a cortisone shot that just masks the pain, this repaired and healed my injury. Dr Hunnius

I went to to see Dr. Vogt to get a second opinion on my shoulder. I was amazed at how much time he spent with me! He really took the time to show me what my problem was on the sonogram, and explain to me my options. He was also very friendly and personable. I can tell he really cares for his patients! I would highly recommend Dr. Vogt to anyone!

My husband and I have both seen Dr. Vogt for various reasons. We truly appreciate the time Dr. Vogt takes to listen to our complaints and to then educate us on the options available . We have never left his office without a very good understanding of our situation/progress/options.

Dr Vogt was very knowledgeable but a note of caution this procedure is no sure thing. If I had to do it over again I would go right to knee replacement. I was also told part of my 7000 plus fee for stem cell knee procedure would include 2 free consultations with a nutritionist. When I missed one free appointment I was billed a 25 dollar fee.They seemed more concerned about getting my extra 25 dollars than my health because the made several phone calls asking me to pay this. This to me is petty considering the 7000 dollars plus I payed for the procedure which has not had the benefit I was

Grateful! That's the first word that comes to mind after finding and visiting Dr. Vogt. I was referred to the SMaRT Institute by my chiropractor and a friend. Everything thing they said was true and more! He took such time to LISTEN to my son's complaints of pain. He really studied the WHOLE situation, not just the isolated pain point. He offered several SOLUTIONS that really made a huge impact on my child's injury and we left there knowing that we had found the only orthopedic Dr. we ever need to see. Dr Vogt is wise, kind, professional, and knowledgeable. His staff

Staff is friendly, organized and helpful. Dr Vogt is exceptionally detailed and thorough in his exam, testing and learning about your issue. His approach seems to be to give you what the options are what he would suggest initially and alternatives if that doesnt work. It is obvious that he is passionate about what he does and trying to solve patients issues without surgical interventions.
