Patient Spotlights
“I’m walking upright for the first time in years!” “Suffering from chronic back pain has been a “normal” part of my life for the past 2 years. I had gone to a chiropractor and had injections with no relief. My doctor recommended that I try physical therapy before taking the next step of possibly needing surgery. I was skeptical as to if therapy would make a difference, but at this point, I was willing to try anything to relieve the pain. I saw a noticeable difference by my 3rd visit as I was walking upright for the first time in years. Strengthening my core and doing exercises to keepmy hips aligned relievedmy back pain completely! - Robert
“Back to work without any limitations!” “I injured my hand at work, had surgery to repair tendons, but dreaded dealing with insurance and Workman’s Comp more than the injury itself! NOPT provided a hassle free experience in regards to insurance and billing, and were able to rehab my hand so that I could return to work without any limitations.” -J. P.
