• Post Surgical Rehabilitation
  • Following an orthopedic or soft tissue surgical procedure, it is strongly recommended to follow up with Physical Therapy.  Physical Therapy expedites ROM (Range of Motion), healing (through increased blood flow) and reduces swelling. The increase in blood flow also aids in pain management.  Call and ask one of our therapists about your surgical procedure and Post Surgical Rehabilitation and how it can help you.  Best of all the advice is FREE!!!
• Pain Management
  • Every person’s pain threshold is different.  An individual with a low tolerance for pain may decide not to continue with therapy or even GO TO THERAPY!  Don’t let this happen to you.  A Fusion Professional can help you with Pain Management through your rehabilitation process.  Come see how we can help you.

• Lower Back and Spinal Injuries
  • The lower back plays a major role in everyday life as it bears the majority of your body’s weight.  Therefore, it is easily injured when you lift, reach or twist.  Spinal injuries can be attributed to traumatic injuries, a strength deficiency or genetic.  All can be successfully treated to help improve one’s way of life.
• Lower Extremity Injuries
  • Lower extremity injuries generally involve the knees, ankles and feet.  Unfortunately, the human body relies upon all the lower extremity components to work in conjunction with one another.  An injury creates instability, causing the body to compensate. Compensation alleviates pain and discomfort to the injured area but adds additional stress to the healthy joints and muscles.  If the afflicted area is not treated promptly and efficiently the injury becomes more complex over time.  Early diagnosis and treatment of lower extremity injuries is essential!

• Orthopedic Assessments of Musculoskeletal Deficiencies
  • Orthopedic Assessments of Musculoskeletal Deficiencies assesses the biomechanics of movement dysfunctions due to muscle imbalances, muscle weakness, or muscle atrophy.  We identify and define why the muscle imbalance or weakness may be occurring and how to correct it.  Orthopedic Assessments of Musculoskeletal Deficiencies are included in your Initial Evaluation.
• Gait Analysis
  • Our therapists perform Gait Analysis to identify irregularities in a patients walk and foot placement.  We are then able to determine if these conditions create other more serious disabilities and how to correct the condition if necessary.  Fusion Physical Therapy & Sports Wellness P.C. offers specific strength programs to improve gait performance.  Please speak to one of our Team members for more information.
• Balance and Gait Disturbances
  • Balance and Gait Disturbances can be the cause to other more serious symptoms that patients suffer from.  With proper diagnosis and treatment a more serious injury may be avoided or remedied.  Fusion Physical Therapy & Sports Wellness P.C. offers programs to improve Balance and Gait Disturbances.  Please speak to one of our Team members for more information.
• Ergonomic Analysis
  • Ergonomic Analysis determines if an individual is using proper form in the function of daily work activities.  Improper daily form can lead to a higher risk of such conditions such as low back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.  Once identified and corrected, proper ergonomic form carries over into everyday living therefore improving everyday life.
• Biomechanical Dysfunction Analysis
  • Biomechanical Dysfunction Analysis identifies improper movement in the body as a direct result of injury, muscle weakness or atrophy.  Through Fusion's Wellness Program we can teach you how your body should move correctly to prevent injury or further injury. Please call and speak to one of our Team members for more information.

• Arthritis Pains
  • Arthritis and joint pain are among the most debilitating human conditions.  Chances are you or someone you know has arthritis. Arthritis causes pain, stiffness and sometimes swelling in or around joints.  This can make it hard to perform the movements you rely on every day to work or to take care of your family.  There are many options available and steps you can take to avoid arthritis or to reduce arthritis pain and keep the freedom to move about, which so many take for granted.
• Osteoarthritis
  • Osteoarthritis is a disease of the cartilage in joints and is the most common form of arthritis and is a major cause of pain and disability in older adults.  Osteoarthritis causes progressive breakdown of cartilage until the bones, which were once separated by cartilage, rub against each other.  This results in damage to the tissue and underlying bone, causing the painful joint symptoms of osteoarthritis.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory disorder wherein the body's immune system attacks its own tissues, a condition known as autoimmune disease.  The tissues affected most commonly in rheumatoid arthritis are cartilage, bone, and various internal organs, leading to joint destruction, arthritis, and other symptoms.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome is a specific group of symptoms including tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in the fingers or hand and occasionally in the forearm and elbow.  These symptoms occur when there is pressure on the median nerve within the wrist.  The median nerve runs through the carpal tunnel, which is formed by the wrist bones and ligaments.
• Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Diabetic Neuropathy is a nerve disorder commonly caused by diabetes.  Over time, high blood sugar levels from diabetes can damage nerves throughout the body.  There are several types of diabetic neuropathies:
    • Peripheral neuropathy results from damage to the peripheral nervous system.  It reduces your ability to sense pain, touch, temperature, and vibration in certain parts of the body and may sometimes affect movement and muscle strength.  It most often affects the feet and lower legs and may contribute to serious foot problems, such as ulcers, infection, and bone and joint deformities.  It is the most common form of diabetic neuropathy.
    • Autonomic neuropathy is caused by problems with the autonomic nervous system.  These nerves control the involuntary functions of your body, such as heartbeat, blood pressure, sweating, digestion, urination, and some aspects of sexual function.  This is also a common form of diabetic neuropathy.
    • Focal neuropathy affects a single nerve, most often in the wrist, thigh, or foot.  It may also affect the nerves of the back and chest and those that control the eye muscles.  It is often associated with conditions that compress or pinch the nerves such as carpal tunnel syndrome.  However, carpal tunnel syndrome also frequently occurs in people who have diabetes but do not have focal neuropathy.  Focal neuropathy usually develops suddenly and is the rarest form of diabetic neuropathy.
• Fibromyalgia Treatment and Exercise Programs
  • Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points, particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips.  People with this syndrome may also experience sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and other symptoms.  Call us and see how we can help you manage the disorders caused by fibromyalgia.
• Osteoporosis Exercise Programs
  • Osteoporosis is a progressive disease that causes bones to become thin and porous, significantly increasing your risk for vertebrae and hip fractures.  Hip fractures often require hospitalization, and vertebral fractures can cause loss of height and severe back pain.  Both may lead to permanent disability.  A supervised wellness routine recommended by our Physical Therapists can aid and help in the prevention of the conditions brought on by this debilitating disease.  Call us to schedule an appointment.

• Our team works extensively with renowned physicians and surgeons in New York City and the surrounding communities.  Should you need help in choosing a medical professional to meet your specific needs, Fusion can suggest a specialist for you and schedule an appointment for you.
