Spinal Care
Our spinal care specialists treat neck and back conditions through customized treatment plans. Using evidence-based techniques, we address disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and other spine-related issues. Our therapists combine manual therapy with targeted exercises to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Specialized recovery programs address post-surgical and injury-related orthopedic conditions. We treat joint replacements, ligament repairs, and fractures with progressive rehabilitation protocols. Our therapists focus on restoring function and preventing future injuries through strength training and movement analysis.
Sports Medicine
Comprehensive care for sports-related injuries includes performance enhancement and injury prevention strategies. Our sports-certified therapists develop sport-specific rehabilitation programs. We utilize gait analysis and functional testing to ensure safe return to athletic activities.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Individualized recovery plans follow surgical procedures with close coordination between therapists and surgeons. We monitor tissue healing while progressing mobility and strength. Our one-on-one treatment sessions ensure proper advancement according to medical guidelines.
Dry Needling
Certified therapists use dry needling to treat muscular pain and trigger points. This technique improves blood flow, reduces stiffness, and accelerates recovery for conditions like plantar fasciitis and rotator cuff pain. It's often combined with traditional physical therapy methods.

Erin and Cody have been able to help me more with my ankle than any physical therapist has in 40 years of many surgeries on it. After giving up on PT she has renewed my faith. In addition they were able to fix a severe muscle problem that had plagued me for a year. No kidding, actually totally fixed it. My quality of life has been improved by ten fold. Everybody at River City Physical Therapy are so helpful and pleasant. I would highly recommend them to anyone. (PS I don't ever write reviews!)

My first appointment with Erin was amazing. Best PT I've had in 10 years of being treated for orthopedic surgery rehabs. She is so attentive, kind, caring and knowledgeable. I look forward to my future appointments.
