Osteoporosis
Headaches
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis, aka “inflammatory arthritis,” is also fairly common, although it is not as easily understood. Those suffering from arthritis typically report soreness around joints, which is worse after prolonged sitting, standing, or inactivity. Pain can get worse when you move, like when you bend your knees. You may notice popping or clicking sounds in the affected joint(s) with movement, and the joint may be sensitive or painful to the touch. Arthritis can also cause pain when you exercise or work, and the pain may go away after you stop doing that activity.
Fibromyalgia
Do you know if you have been living with fibromyalgia? It can sometimes be difficult to tell, as the symptoms can vary.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation in the connective tissue on the bottom of your foot. This can occur from aggravated overuse, such as constant standing, improper posture, or footwear that lacks proper arch support.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults. Sports and Ortho Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine can help relieve the effects of a stroke by working to improve balance, walking, and the use of assistive devices. Common therapies for post-stroke rehabilitation include constraint-induced movement therapy, functional electrical stimulation, motor image, partial body weight support, and neuro therapy techniques, such as biofeedback.
Emergency Care
Did you know that 1/3 of the population over 65 falls each year? Every 11 seconds, an older adult is rushed to the emergency room for a fall. Every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), over 2.5 million adults were treated for nonfatal injuries in emergency departments in 2013. In older adults, falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries. Most people don’t think about keeping their balance in shape until it is too late and they suffer a harsh fall. The good news is that most fall prevention is easier than you think, simply by the regular exercising of your balance system. If you have recently sustained a balance-related injury, it is important to seek the help of our Beverly, Bridgeport, Lincoln Park, Northwest Side Chicago, Sauganash, Glenview, Evanston, & Oak Lawn physical therapists immediately, in order to avoid additional injuries in the future to help with fall prevention.
Urinary Incontinence
With pregnancy, the body experiences many changes, including postural adjustments, increased load on the pelvic floor, and stretching and thickening of the ligaments. The many changes that your body goes through can cause back pain and pelvic floor issues. Muscle weakness may also lead to urinary incontinence and difficulty activating core muscles. At Sports and Ortho Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, we integrate techniques such as massage therapy and pelvic floor therapy to help make your pregnancy and delivery process as smooth as possible for Pre/Post-natal Pain Relief.

Pregnancy
Sports and Ortho Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine can help mothers deal with pre and postnatal pains as their bodies experience the effects of pregnancy and childbirth. Our Beverly, Bridgeport, Lincoln Park, Northwest Side Chicago, Glenview, Evanston, & Oak Lawn physical therapists will also help in addressing any problems that may arise during this exciting time.

Neurology
By participating in physical therapy treatments following a neurological injury, you can improve your function, perform targeted activities, and regain your independence much faster. PTs specializing in neurology work with patients who have a wide range of neurological disorders, including, but not limited to...
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Only been here a few months, wasn't expecting much as I hate meeting new people in this type of environment. However, I was surprisingly impressed. I came in with carpal tunnel syndrome, and shoulder issues, and i hardly feel the carpal tunnel in my wrists anymore.
Multiple Sclerosis
Common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include pain, fatigue, and weakness. Fortunately, physical therapy can help manage and decrease these symptoms. Our Beverly, Bridgeport, Lincoln Park, Northwest Side Chicago, Glenview, Evanston, Saganaush, & Oak Lawn physical therapist will provide you with targeted stretches to ease muscle spasms and targeted exercises to increase strength and range of motion.

Ultrasound
We will focus on improving your posture to aid in the recovery of your neck muscles, as well as avoiding re-injury in the future. Additional treatment services may include ice and heat therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation, as our physical therapist deems fit.
MRI
Your plan will likely include manual therapy to increase your range of motion and reduce scar tissue, stretches to improve balance and mobility, and strengthening exercises to enhance the injured area, as well as its surrounding areas. This will be done after first performing a diagnostic exam, and your physical therapist may also review diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound. Treatment plans will take into account the nature of your injury, your fitness level, and your lifestyle. These are all done to help you recover after your sports injury and to prevent further injuries from occurring in the future.

Orthopedics
Since graduating Dahlia has focused on perfecting her skills in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine and has taken several courses in Manual Therapy as well as completing her Manual Therapy Certification through St. Augustine University. She has also finished her level 1 dry needling certification. In 2012 she became a Fellow of Applied Functional Science, a title only held by less than 300 therapists in the world, making her a Movement Specialist and expert on biomechanics, allowing her to find the route of the problem, not just treat the symptoms.
Sciatica
While back pain and sciatica are similar, they still have their differences and are often confused with one another. Back pain is found specifically in the upper, middle or lower back. Sciatica is a more diffuse, radiating pain down the buttock, thigh, and even leg.
Whiplash
Musculoskeletal headaches occur when there are significant amounts of tension in the neck. This is typically a result of physical imbalances, weaknesses, or damage, although emotional tension (such as stress) can also be a contributing factor. A traumatic injury to the neck, such as whiplash, is a common cause of musculoskeletal headaches. With neck injuries such as whiplash, the muscles and connective tissues in the neck can become torn or strained. This can lead to agonizing pain felt in the head, as well as in the face, shoulders, or neck.
Arthroscopy
A jaw specialist may also use a dental splint to keep teeth properly aligned and prevent tooth grinding. Other types of medical treatment include trigger point acupuncture, joint replacement, or a TMJ arthroscopy.
Joint Replacement
Our Beverly, Bridgeport, Lincoln Park, Northwest Side Chicago, Glenview, Evanston, & Oak Lawn physical therapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating movement disorders, so you can find the relief you need. These disorders often occur following surgery, especially if a patient has undergone total joint replacement.
Bunions
Arthroscopy
Hip Replacement
After hip replacement surgery, I went to Sports and Ortho for Physical therapy. I must say the staff worked me hard, but they did a great job in assisting me back to normal day to day living. Still unable to run or tie my shoe yet, but that takes a little more time.
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement - I can now walk again! Staff was very kind and efficient. Pam kept our spirits up while being strict. Lauren was very nice and encouraging.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, it is important to stay safe while performing your sport, so as to not sustain sports injuries.
Physical Therapy
Sports and Ortho Physical Therapy helps patients with many different conditions. Please see the diagram below for information on common conditions we treat and how physical therapy can help you.
Frozen Shoulder
Also known as “adhesive capsulitis,” frozen shoulder can occur if your arm has been in a case or sling for a while, or if you have been bedridden for an extended period of time. Furthermore, there are some ethnicities that are more predisposed, and women tend to have more instances than men. It is more common in women in the 40-60 years of age. Frozen shoulder results in a painful loss of motion in the shoulder with a tightening of the shoulder joint that severely limits motion.

Shoulder Pain
Ankle Sprain
Acute pain can be defined as pain that goes away on its own in a few hours, days, or weeks. An example of acute pain may be a minor ankle sprain, as the pain will subside shortly within a few days.
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Aquatic Therapy
Types of physical therapy treatments used to treat motor vehicle accident injuries include massage therapy, manual manipulation, ultrasound, ice and cold therapy, specific exercises, targeted massage, stretching, and aquatic therapy.
Manual Therapy
The Graston technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). It is a type of manual therapy that incorporates special ergonomic tools that are used to gently massage and scrape parts of the skin.
TMJ Dysfunction
Do you have difficulty chewing or yawning? Do you experience jaw pain? Do you hear clicking noises when you open or close your mouth? If so, you may have TMJ dysfunction.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Achilles Tendonitis
Prior to coming to Sports and Ortho, I walked with a limp because of the Achilles tendonitis. I had swelling that reduced a lot, and I could walk and stretch much better after therapy. My limping has stopped.
Ankle Sprain
I came to the Sports and Ortho on 109th and Western after an on duty accident that left me with a sprained ankle. Before coming, I could not walk on the heel of my left foot and could not stand the pressure of any shoe on that foot.
Bunions Problems
Other potentially treatable conditions include patellofemoral knee pain, shin splints, achilles tendonitis, and bunions, as well as numerous systemic pathologies that (like diabetes) affect the function of the lower limbs.
Flat Feet
Your foot contains several tendons that work together to form your arch. When the tendons pull together properly, your foot will form a proper arch. However, when the tendons do not pull together properly, your foot will form a very small arch, or no arch at all. This is referred to as “fallen arch” or “flat foot” and can cause pain or discomfort with time.
Heel Spurs
This is a bony protrusion on the heel that is usually made of some sort of calcium build-up. While the actual spurs are not painful they can poke the tissues in the heel and potentially cause severe pain. Many of the same risk factors that cause plantar fasciitis can also cause heel spurs.
Foot Pain
Metatarsalgia
This is a painful disorder that affects the joints and bones along the ball of the foot. This condition is often caused by ill-fitting footwear or restrictive footwear. Orthotics are usually recommended to help reduce pain caused by metatarsalgia.
Plantar Fasciitis
Post-operative patients are the prime candidates for the AlterG Treadmill. Patients are strapped into the middle of it, with their feet enclosed in the pressurized case. By safely securing patients, they are able to use the weight-bearing treadmill freely, without pressure on their legs or the fear of falling off of it. Other conditions that have shown improvement through the AlterG Treadmill include tendinitis, obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, spine fusions, stress fractures, neurological disorders, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), and total joint replacement.
