She is a hands on therapist and works magic with all of my back issues or anything else structural that is out of wack. She is simply the best and I have had many before her. She is very skilled and knowledgeable about all things medical and keeps my body functioning at a very high level. Thanks to her, my quality of life continues to be good."

"Orthopedic Physical Therapy is the best place to get physical therapy in the greater Richmond area. I have been to them for several issues I had over the years, and they helped me tremendously. They listen to the client, do a thorough evaluation, and use their skills to address the issue. They do not just throw exercises at you. They give you exercises to do outside of appointments, but they spend the appointment actually working on you, helping to remediate the issue. I have nothing but respect for this practice."

Neck & Back Pain - Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a physical therapist for neck or back pain?

You should seek physical therapy if you experience:

Pain lasting more than two weeks that doesn’t improve with rest
Recurring episodes of back or neck pain
Pain that spreads to your arms or legs (which may indicate nerve involvement)
Weakness, numbness, or tingling in your limbs
Difficulty moving, bending, or turning your head
Pain that interferes with work, sleep, or daily activities

Can poor posture really cause back and neck pain?

Yes! Poor posture—whether from sitting at a desk, looking down at a phone, or improper sleeping positions—can strain your muscles and spine, leading to chronic discomfort. Correcting your posture through physical therapy can prevent pain, improve mobility, and reduce tension in your neck and back.

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy for back or neck pain?

In Virginia, you are able to see a physical therapist without a doctor’s referral, thanks to Direct Access laws.
