Sports injuries
Physical therapy in Bergen County, NJ. You can start without a doctor's referral.
Sprains, strains and overuse injuries, for runners, school athletes and weekend players. The aim of physical therapy here is a safe, step-by-step return to the sport you play.
Some insurance plans and Medicare still ask for a doctor's note. We check yours before your first visit.
What we often see
- Ankle sprains
- Muscle strains (hamstring, calf, groin)
- Runner's knee and shin splints
- Tennis and golfer's elbow
- Getting back to sport after an ACL or other ligament injury
Your first visit
We ask about your sport, your training and when it hurts, then check strength, flexibility, balance and how you move in sport-like tasks. You leave with a plan, including what you can keep doing in the meantime.
When to see a doctor first
If any of these apply, please get medical care before booking. A physical therapist will also refer you on if something needs a doctor.
- A blow to the head with headache, dizziness, confusion or vomiting: see a doctor the same day.
- You heard a pop and can't put weight on it, or the limb looks out of shape.
- Numbness or tingling that doesn't go away after a hit.
Answers
Do you need a doctor's referral first? Not in New Jersey.
When can I get back to my sport?
It depends on the injury and your sport. Instead of a fixed date, we use clear steps: strength, movement and sport-specific tests that show when you're ready for the next level.
Do you see school athletes?
Yes, teenagers and adults. For anyone under 18, a parent or guardian comes to the first visit.
