People who’ve had their neck or back pain taken care of by Alpine’s physical therapists will tell you that we are the experts in spine care. And for good reason.
Our therapists are committed to high-level mastery of manual therapy. Certification in manual therapy affords the clinician the ability to quickly evaluate and diagnose your spine condition. Advanced manual therapy techniques often lead to quick and effective results.
Several of our physical therapists have achieved national certification in manual therapy. Alpine’s owner, Brent Dodge has been helping people with neck and back pain for 15 years. He is certified as a manual physical therapists through the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy.
Angela Listug, DPT completed residency training as a manual therapist through the Kaiser Hayward Physical Therapy Fellowship in Advanced Orthopedic Manual Therapy. She is on schedule to attain international status with her induction as a Fellow into the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (www.aaompt.org).
You can expect a thorough examination, followed by the right manual treatments for your neck or low back pain. Today’s research clearly shows that people with low back pain get better, faster, when they are properly identified to receive spinal manipulation. Not only do they get better faster, the results are superior—even after a year.
We use a highly researched clinical model to determine the type of treatment that will help you the most. You can be sure that you are getting the latest technology and treatments so you can experience a big difference in your comfort and spine health.
Despite the clear evidence in today’s medical literature, few physical therapists in Montana perform skilled physical therapy spinal manipulation. That’s unfortunate because people who don’t receive the right treatment at the right time, may go on to have chronic and disabling back pain—the kind that gets you down and keeps you there.
Here at Alpine, we’ve done the research and have gained the skills to apply the right treatments—where most other physical therapists haven’t. Why settle for less than the most accurate evaluation and treatment for your spine condition? Let the experts at Alpine help you get back on your feet now.
