How We Can Help
Acute Injuries
We treat almost everything from head to toe. From headaches, neck and low back pain, pain in the shoulders, knees, hips, feet, and ankles, to sciatica and buttock/hip pain, Angela has over 10 years of experience treating these common orthopedic conditions. Our goal is to get you back doing what you love as soon as possible.
Post Surgical
Angela specializes in post-op shoulders including rotator cuff repair, total shoulder and reverse total shoulder replacements, and labral repairs. She also has over 12 years of experience treating post-op knees including total knee replacement, menisectomy, and ACL reconstruction, as well as post-op spinal surgeries such as laminectomies and fusions. Following surgery, your PT will help with pain relief by reducing muscle guarding, manual therapy techniques to address post op swelling, and gentle range of motion exercises to regain mobility.
Dry Needling
Angela was one of the first certified dry needling practitioners in the Bitterroot Valley, with over a decade of experience incorporating functional dry needling into her practice. Dry needling, combined with corrective exercises and traditional manual therapy, can be highly effective at treating overuse injuries. Some of the most responsive diagnoses to dry needling include: tennis elbow, tension headaches, neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, buttock and hip pain, IT Band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and shoulder impingement. Dry needling is quite a bit different than acupuncture but does utilize the same type of needles. If you’d like to learn more about dry needling, please contact Angela.
Chronic Pain
For stubborn pain that has lasted for several months or even years, special considerations need to be made to address changes that happen in the nervous system with prolonged pain. Angela is passionate about pain neuroscience and utilizes the best current evidence to treat with a holistic, full body approach to help you get back to living pain-free. The field of pain neuroscience research is evolving rapidly, and Angela has been committed to staying on top of current research with continued education. Having experienced persistent pain herself, she understands first-hand the effect chronic pain can have on your life, as well as the joy and freedom that relief finally brings.
