Why choose Paspa PT?

In addition, we are often allied with orthopedists, sports medicine, neurologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, podiatrists, primary care MDs, physiatrists, and gerontologists, among other health professionals.

Doing so allows us to help you take a proactive approach to manage pain, avoid surgery, increase fitness, assist with surgery recovery, and improve your quality of life. As an orthopedic/sports medicine PT practice working with all orthopedic conditions, we work with surgical and non-surgical patients.

Is there a difference between a Physical Therapist, Massage Therapists, and Chiropractors?

Our movement experts first evaluate your needs in detail by taking into account your symptoms and the different contributing factors and implementing a customized treatment program to treat and address each specific need.
