Alternative Back Care Physical Therapy

Alternative Back Care Physical Therapy has served the community since 2001, providing physical therapy services from its Gig Harbor clinic. They specialize in treating acute and chronic back pain, neck pain, and migraines, especially for patients who have not responded to traditional therapy methods, chiropractic care, or other medical interventions. Their approach aims to help individuals achieve long-term relief.

The clinic utilizes a "Leveling Technique" along with other modalities such as IASTM, cupping, heat, ice, E-Stem, ultrasound, and soft tissue massage. Services also include manual manipulation, self-alignment techniques, and general physical therapy for on-the-job injuries, sports injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation, including shoulder rehab. They also offer massage therapy and wellness support.

Alternative Back Care emphasizes treating the whole person rather than just symptoms, creating personalized plans of care. Patients can expect their first visit to be approximately an hour, including a discussion of medical history and an evaluation of strength, pain levels, range of motion, and functional limitations. Pelvic floor physical therapy is also a forthcoming service.

Conveniently located at 3309 56th Street NW, Suite 102, the Gig Harbor office operates Tuesday and Thursday from 7 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM.
