Conditions We Treat

Conditions We Commonly Treat

Whether symptoms began suddenly or developed over time, Catalyst can help you find a clear path forward. We treat low back pain and sciatica; neck pain, whiplash, and headaches; shoulder, hip, knee, foot, and ankle injuries; tendon and ligament injuries; arthritis; postural and repetitive-strain concerns; and rehabilitation after surgery.

Our team also supports pelvic health concerns such as pregnancy-related pain, postpartum recovery, diastasis recti, incontinence, pelvic pain, and prolapse; vestibular concerns including dizziness, vertigo, balance issues, and concussion symptoms; TMJ and jaw pain; pediatric and adolescent injuries; and return-to-sport needs for athletes of all ages.

California is a direct-access state, so you can begin physical therapy without a physician referral for up to 45 days or 12 visits.
