Most Common Pain Conditions We Treat at Go Physical Therapy — and When You Should Seek Help

December, 2025

At Go Physical Therapy, we help patients every day overcome pain, restore movement, and return to the activities they love. Whether your discomfort started suddenly or has been building up over time, understanding the cause — and knowing when to seek professional help — can make all the difference in your recovery.
Below are the most common pain conditions we treat across our locations, along with guidance on when it’s time to book an appointment.

  1. Neck Pain & Shoulder Pain
    Common Causes We Treat
    -Muscle strain from poor posture or desk work
    -Cervical disc issues
    -Pinched nerves
    -Rotator cuff injuries
    -Frozen shoulder
    When to Seek Help
    If your pain lasts more than 1 week, limits your ability to turn your head, lift your arm, or perform daily tasks, it’s time to see a physical therapist. Early treatment prevents stiffness and long-term mobility problems.

  2. Low Back Pain & Sciatica
    Common Causes We Treat
    -Muscle spasms and strains
    -Herniated or bulging discs
    -Sciatica (nerve irritation)
    -Poor lifting mechanics
    -Postural imbalances
    When to Seek Help
    If back pain persists beyond 3–5 days, radiates down the leg, or makes sitting/standing difficult, professional care is essential. Targeted physical therapy can relieve pain, improve stability, and prevent chronic issues.

  3. Knee Pain
    Common Causes We Treat
    -ACL/MCL sprains
    -Meniscus injuries
    -Patellofemoral (kneecap) pain
    -Arthritis
    -Overuse from running or sports
    When to Seek Help
    Seek help when knee pain makes walking, climbing stairs, squatting, or exercising difficult. Persistent swelling or “giving way” of the knee should be addressed immediately.

  4. Hip Pain
    Common Causes We Treat
    -Hip impingement
    -Tendonitis or bursitis
    -Labral injuries
    -Arthritis
    -Post-surgical rehabilitation
    When to Seek Help
    If hip pain keeps you from standing, walking longer distances, or sleeping comfortably, a physical therapy evaluation can help identify the root cause and restore mobility.

  5. Foot & Ankle Pain
    Common Causes We Treat
    -Plantar fasciitis
    -Achilles tendonitis
    -Ankle sprains
    -Flat feet or gait abnormalities
    When to Seek Help
    Pain that affects your ability to walk, run, or stand should be evaluated. If swelling or tenderness persists beyond a few days, physical therapy can help you regain strength and prevent reinjury.

  6. Wrist, Hand & Elbow Pain
    Common Causes We Treat
    -Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
    -Carpal tunnel syndrome
    -Wrist sprains
    -Overuse or repetitive stress injuries
    When to Seek Help
    If pain interferes with gripping, typing, lifting, or daily tasks, physical therapy can reduce inflammation, improve strength, and restore function.

  7. Post-Surgical Pain & Recovery
    Common Surgeries We Support
    -Rotator cuff repair
    -ACL reconstruction
    -Meniscus surgery
    -Hip and knee replacements
    -Spinal surgeries
    -Hand and wrist surgeries
    When to Seek Help
    Post-operative rehabilitation is essential for restoring mobility and preventing complications. Starting PT as recommended by your surgeon leads to the best outcomes.

    -Pelvic pain
