Let’s Clear a Few Things Up
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. In Kentucky, you can schedule with us directly. If your doctor sends you our way, that works too. We work closely with physicians across the valley and keep them in the loop. Either way, we'll help you check what your insurance needs.

Conditions we treat
From everyday aches to recovery after surgery, these are the most common reasons our neighbors come see us.
Featured Services
Whether you're recovering from surgery, a car accident or an injury on the job, we'll guide you every step of the way and keep your surgeon, insurer or employer in the loop.
Hand therapy helps treat injuries and conditions affecting the hands, wrists, and upper extremities. Our Certified Hand Therapist provides specialized care for carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, Dupuytren's contracture, and recovery after surgery or fractures. Treatment may include custom splinting, targeted exercises, and hands-on therapy to restore movement, strength, and everyday function.
EMG and nerve conduction studies (NCV) are tests that help identify problems with your nerves and muscles. If you're experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain, these tests can help determine what's causing your symptoms. The testing uses small electrical impulses and, for EMG, a thin needle electrode to measure how your nerves and muscles are working. The results can help your healthcare provider determine the next steps in your care.
Physical therapy can make a difference both before and after surgery. Preparing your body ahead of time can help improve strength, flexibility, and mobility, giving you a better foundation for recovery. After surgery, we'll guide you through a personalized rehabilitation plan to reduce pain and swelling, restore movement, and gradually rebuild strength. Our goal is to help you recover safely and confidently return to the activities you enjoy.
