We treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal pathologies primarily orthopedic in nature. These pathologies can originate from trauma, postural dysfunction, muscle imbalances, nerve damage, overuse injuries (arthritis), post-operative complication, etc. Some of the more common diagnoses we treat but not limited to are listed below:
