CONDITIONS TREATED · BELLINGHAM, WA

Still hurting after doing everything right?

Persistent pain deserves a closer look.

The right treatment starts with the right diagnosis.

Many patients arrive after physical therapy, medications, injections, or time have not fully solved the problem. The first visit focuses on what may still be driving the pain.

Browse by the area that hurts. If you're not sure which diagnosis fits — that's exactly what the first visit is for.

Spine & Back

Common causes of low back pain, neck pain, and sciatica — including arthritis, disc problems, and joint instability.

Low Back Pain

Chronic facet, ligament, or paraspinal pain that persists despite rest or physical therapy.

SI Joint Dysfunction

Chronic low back, hip, and buttock pain originating from the sacroiliac joint — a commonly underdiagnosed source.

Cervical Ligament Laxity

Chronic neck pain following injury or whiplash, often associated with headaches and cervicogenic dizziness.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Axial back or neck pain associated with disc degeneration where non-surgical management may be appropriate.

Shoulder

Common causes of shoulder pain — from rotator cuff and impingement to frozen shoulder and arthritis.

Rotator Cuff Tears (Partial)

Partial tears of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, or subscapularis, often associated with pain and reduced tolerance for overhead and reaching activities.

Learn about Rotator Cuff Tears (Partial)

Calcific Tendinitis

Calcium crystal deposits within the rotator cuff tendon — typically the supraspinatus — causing acute or chronic shoulder pain. Shockwave therapy is the primary evidence-based non-surgical option, producing measurable calcium resorption.

Learn about Calcific Tendinitis

Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder pain with reaching and overhead movement, often involving the rotator cuff tendons and subacromial space.

Labral Tears

SLAP lesions and other labral injuries causing clicking, instability, and deep shoulder pain.

AC Joint Arthritis

Acromioclavicular joint degeneration causing localized pain at the top of the shoulder.

Biceps Tendinopathy

Biceps tendon degeneration at the shoulder causing anterior pain, worse with lifting and reaching.

Elbow, Wrist & Hand

Common causes of elbow, wrist, and hand pain — including tendon overuse, nerve compression, and thumb arthritis.

Thumb Arthritis (CMC Joint)

Basilar thumb arthritis causing pain and weakness with pinching and gripping activities.

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

Tendon inflammation on the thumb side of the wrist causing pain with grasping, pinching, and twisting.

Hip

Common causes of hip and buttock pain — from arthritis and bursitis to tendon and labral injuries.

Hip Osteoarthritis

Degenerative joint disease of the hip causing groin pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.

Hip Labral Tears

Labral irritation or tearing that may contribute to clicking, catching, and deep groin pain. Treatment depends on joint health, mechanics, and imaging findings.

Piriformis Syndrome

Deep buttock pain and sciatica-like symptoms in the distribution of the sciatic nerve, without a clear lumbar source.

Not sure which condition applies to you?

That's exactly what an initial visit sorts out — pinpointing the source of your pain before any treatment is recommended.

Heel and arch pain from plantar fascia degeneration, typically worse with first steps in the morning.

Learn about Plantar Fasciitis

Ankle Osteoarthritis

Degenerative joint disease of the ankle causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

GET STARTED

Ready for a closer look at what may be driving your pain?

You are not signing up for a procedure. The first visit is a medical evaluation: history, exam, imaging review when relevant, and a clear recommendation — whether that is regenerative care, rehab, referral, or watchful waiting.

Initial visits may be billed through insurance depending on your plan and coverage.
