Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Predominant in young and middle-aged women, Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a musculoskeletal system disorder characterized by chronic pain and tender points. Tender points are specific places on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms, and legs. These points hurt when pressure is put on them.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy or Cold Therapy - used to cause vasoconstriction (the blood vessels constrict or decrease their diameter) to reduce the amount of fluid that leaks out of the capillaries into the tissue spaces (swelling) in response to injury of tissue. Ice or cold is used most frequently in acute injuries, but also an effective pain reliever for even the most chronic pain.
Medical Weight Loss
It is important that you obtain the appropriate diagnosis from your medical doctor. Once diagnosed with OA, there are some things that you can do to slow its progression. Weight loss, strengthening, physical therapy joint mobilization, aquatic exercise, ice when inflamed, heat with stiffness, and bracing the joint can all help. Ask your rehabilitation specialist which is best for you.
Ear Infections
Vertigo, in particular "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)", is a common disorder in which the patient complains of spinning and dizziness with rapid changes in head positions. BPPV is typically idiopathic (of unknown cause) in nature. Other reported causes are head trauma, vestibular neuritis (inflamed vestibulo-cochlear nerve), vertebrobasilar ischemia (inadequate blood flow to the brain), and inner ear infection.
Constipation

Endometriosis
Pelvic floor muscle tension or pain may occur in the anatomical sling of muscles which support the bladder, uterus and rectum. It can be caused by muscle imbalances, nerve or joint problems, scar tissue from surgery, childbirth, endometriosis or after radiation. Pelvic pain can also be caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures, organ prolapse or constipation.
Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery

Ovarian Cancer
Interstitial Cystitis

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Ultrasound - ultrasound uses a high frequency sound wave emitted from the sound head when electricity is passed through a quartz crystal. The sound waves cause the vibration of water molecules deep within tissue causing a heating effect. When the sound waves are pulsed, they cause a vibration of the tissue rather than heating. The stream of sound waves helps with nutrition exchange at the cellular level and healing. Studies have shown that ultrasound is helpful for ligament healing and clinically, for carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscle spasm.

Ultrasound
For many patients, one of the primary objectives is pain relief. This is frequently accomplished with hands-on techniques, modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and/or heat or cold therapy. Movement often provides pain relief as well. Your physical therapist will provide you with the appropriate exercises not only for pain relief but to recover range of motion, strength, and endurance.
Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis - medications are propelled through the skin by an electrical charge. This modality works on the physical concept that like charges repel each other, therefore, a positively charged medication will be repelled through the skin to the underlying tissues by the positively charged pad of an iontophoresis machine. Iontophoresis is usually prescribed for injuries such as shoulder or elbow bursitis.

Orthopedics
Mark is the owner of Main Street Physical Therapy, which opened in November of 2002, and has been working in Yuma for 14 years. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's in Biology, and then continued to Northern Arizona University to receive his Master's in Physical Therapy. He has worked in a variety of settings, including home health, general acute care (hospital), and nursing homes. However, his passion is orthopedics.
Sciatica
I have had lower back issues and/or sciatica for at least 25 years but after I began therapy with Mark and his staff, I noticed relief within two weeks. Since I had the problem for such a long time and Mark had told me relief could come in spurts, after my six weeks he was able to get me six more weeks which has been extremely beneficial. The last two weeks have had no pain or stiffness from my initial problem. I am so thankful to Mark and his staff for giving me the tools needed to give me relief from my problem and the ability to continue my program at home.
Whiplash
Wound Care
Wound Care - Some therapists specialize in the treatment and care of wounds. This is accomplished by the removal of unviable tissue (debridement), the application of special dressings and prescription drugs/ointments, and the use of ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and aquatic modalities to promote healing. Exercise and patient education are also routine components of a wound care program.
Joint Replacement
Knee Replacement
The first time I got on the bike, fear took hold and I was afraid I would break my knee. Mark's well trained staff came to my rescue with solid tools and compassion. I succeeded after six weeks of excellent PT. I regained full range of my first knee. In part, I believe this was why walking anxious to have my second knee replacement. I am now on my second round od PT (for my 2nd knee replacement). The level of compassion and skill has actually increased.

Sports Medicine
Aerobic Exercise - The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) defines aerobic exercise as "any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously, and is rhythmic in nature." Aerobic means in the presence of oxygen. In other words, your body is burning its fuel (glucose) in the presence of oxygen. It is performed at less than 85% of your maximum heart rate. An aerobically fit individual can work longer, more vigorously and achieve a quicker recovery at the end of the aerobic session. Jogging, cycling, swimming, aerobics classes, and rowing are examples of aerobic exercise.
Physical Therapy
Main Street Physical Therapy is experienced with the treatment of a wide variety of conditions. Below are some of the conditions we treat everyday.
Shoulder Pain
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Physical Therapy - Aquatic therapy takes advantage of the physical properties of water to assist with the rehabilitative process. Buoyancy, turbulence, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal properties of water can assist with the rehabilitation of a patient. Those suffering from chronic pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbar fusion surgery, or with a limited weight-bearing status are just a few of the many different patient populations that can benefit from aquatic therapy.
Manual Therapy
Exercises typically performed on a cylinder or half cylinder of foam for self-joint mobilization, postural exercise, core stability, and balance training.
