Treatment

Treatment at Roberts Physical Therapy

Nine kinds of care across Amherst, Plainfield, Wisconsin Rapids and the Stevens Point and Plover YMCAs. Every one starts the same way: an evaluation of up to an hour with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and no referral needed in Wisconsin.

Walk-in clinic

Wisconsin Rapids · $250 self-pay · no appointment

Something happened this week, or an old problem flared overnight. At 621 8th Street South you can walk in or book the same day, be evaluated by a licensed physical therapist, be treated during the visit and leave with a clear plan. Dry needling is a $25 add-on, and insurance is accepted for ongoing care.

Aquatic therapy

Wisconsin Rapids only

Pool work increases strength and balance while easing the pain that weight-bearing exercise can bring on. It suits chronic pain, arthritis, balance disorders, fractures, joint replacements and recovery after surgery. Your therapist decides at the first evaluation whether the pool belongs in your plan.

Sports injury therapy

Athletes of all ages

We look for the muscle imbalance or the mechanics behind the injury, build a rehab plan around your sport, and bring you back gradually with prevention coaching so the same injury does not return next season.

These are the treatments people ask about by name. You do not have to pick one before you call. Tell the front desk what hurts and your therapist builds the plan at the evaluation.

  1. Workers' compensationEvery carrier accepted. Bring the claim number, your adjuster's contact details, your doctor's referral, the injury date and your employer's information. Evaluation, a customised plan, work conditioning, then back to the job.
  2. Back and neck painLow back and neck pain, sciatica, whiplash, headaches, TMJ and pain that has hung on for months. Manual therapy, dry needling where it helps, and exercise-based rehab.
  3. Vertigo and balanceVertigo, dizziness, balance disorders, peripheral neuropathy and fall risk, treated with vestibular assessment, balance retraining and a home exercise plan.
  4. Post-surgical rehabKnee, hip and shoulder surgery and joint replacements. Your evaluation goes to the surgeon or physician of your choice, and strength and range of motion are rebuilt in stages.
  5. Dry needlingTrigger point dry needling for persistent neck, back and shoulder pain, from a practice whose president, Brett Roberts, DPT, was an early Wisconsin adopter of the technique.
  6. TelehealthFollow-up visits on a HIPAA-compliant WebPT Zoom call, scheduled by phone at (715) 803-7617. Hands-on care, dry needling and pool work still need the clinic.
