Can acupuncture help hip bursitis? Yes—but it’s not the full solution on its own.

Hip bursitis often shows up as outer hip pain when walking upstairs, standing for long periods, or lying on your side. Acupuncture can help reduce inflammation and pain, which is why many people feel relief after just a few sessions.

But acupuncture doesn’t address the underlying problem—issues like hip mobility, strength, and movement mechanics. That’s why hip bursitis often keeps coming back when pain is treated alone.

At Manhattan Physical Therapy in Midtown Manhattan, we combine acupuncture and physical therapy to treat both the pain and the root cause of hip bursitis.

You sprained your ankle—and it still doesn’t feel right? This is why.

Most ankle sprains are never fully rehabbed. Just because swelling and pain go down doesn’t mean strength, mobility, and stability have been restored. Without proper ankle rehab, recovery can take months—or even years—and re-injury is common.

Mild ankle sprains typically recover in 2–4 weeks. Moderate ankle sprains can take 6–8 weeks or longer without structured rehab.

At Manhattan Physical Therapy in Midtown Manhattan, ankle sprain rehab focuses on restoring strength, mobility, and balance to prevent chronic instability—especially for injuries that happen on the streets of NYC.

If your Achilles pain is right at the heel and just won’t heal, this is likely why.

Insertional Achilles tendonitis is different from mid-portion Achilles pain and often gets worse with overstretching or doing too much too soon. Treating it like a simple strain is one of the biggest mistakes people make.

Proper insertional Achilles tendonitis treatment focuses on load management, improving ankle mobility, and strengthening the calf without irritating the tendon.

At Manhattan Physical Therapy in Midtown Manhattan, we tailor Achilles rehab to protect the tendon while restoring strength and function.

Rotator cuff tear or shoulder impingement? They feel similar—but treating them the same can make things worse.

A rotator cuff tear often causes pain with lifting or rotating your arm. Shoulder impingement usually causes pain when reaching overhead or behind your back. Stretching or pushing through pain without knowing the cause can slow recovery or worsen symptoms.

Proper shoulder treatment starts with assessing movement, strength, and shoulder stability—not guessing.

At Manhattan Physical Therapy in Midtown Manhattan, we identify the root cause of shoulder pain before starting treatment.

Does your shoulder pain keep coming back no matter how much you rest or stretch?

If shoulder pain lasts weeks or months and won’t resolve on its own, the problem usually isn’t just tight muscles. Chronic shoulder pain often comes from weak stabilizing muscles, poor posture, or compensation from other areas like the neck or upper back.

Treating shoulder pain isn’t just about stretching or strengthening—it’s about restoring proper movement, mobility, and coordination so the shoulder stops overworking.

At Manhattan Physical Therapy in Midtown Manhattan, we offer a variety of treatment options to address the root cause of shoulder pain—not just the symptoms.

Why does physical therapy work for some people—but not others?

Traditional physical therapy focuses on improving strength and mobility. But if pain keeps coming back, the real issue is often inactive or weak muscles that aren’t doing their job.

Redcord suspension therapy targets those inactive muscles so they can be retrained properly. By addressing the root cause instead of strengthening compensations, many patients feel improvement faster.

At Manhattan Physical Therapy in Midtown Manhattan, we don’t replace traditional physical therapy—we combine it with Redcord suspension therapy to get better, longer-lasting results.
