Here at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy, our primary focus is on identifying the mechanical cause of pain and the exercises needed to correct it.
What is ultrasound? How does it work? Let’s take a look!
Ultrasound waves are sent into the tissues using a handheld probe causing the tissues to vibrate. This vibration can have multiple benefits by breaking down scar tissue to aide in improving function and increasing local blood flow to reduce inflammation and pain. When tissues are inflamed, the cells have to work overtime. This extra work causes increased need for nutrition and increased production of cellular waste, but without an increase in the cells ability to process this waste. The ultrasound vibrations literally shake the waste material out of the cells, which helps them to work more efficiently.
Pretty cool, huh?! Any other science enthusiasts find this fascinating??

Thank you Randy for your Nick Rinard Physical Therapy experience with the world!
“I lost 90% of the strength in my right thumb. I saw my primary care doctor took some X-rays of my neck where there was significant degradation to my C3/C4 which would explain the loss of strength and increasing pain that I was feeling most likely due to a pinched nerve. We started with an anti-inflammatory medication that eased the pain and restored a little bit of strength and motion but it was temporary and the meds are very harsh and not a long term option. Next step would have been spinal surgery which in my mind wasn’t an option. Decided to visit Nick again. My first time seeing him he helped me back to strength after a medial meniscus hook tear surgery to my right knee. I wanted to see if he could help resolve the problem using PT and not drugs or surgery. I saw him for about 2 months about once per week. Today, yes more than 1 year later I have about 90% of my strength back and 100% of motion back. It took more than 1 year but I now have the tools and the habits to manage it. No surgery, no drugs. Just paying attention to how I sleep with proper neck support, how I sit when working at the computer and exercises that I can do while working to keep improving. Nick gave me the tools and methods to make this happen. Highly Highly recommended. Helped me out twice now.” Randy 09-29-30

Nick Rinard Gets Patient Results
Nick Rinard Physical Therapy gets results… but don’t take our word for it…
“Nick Rinard really listened each time I came in. We discussed all my exercise & their impact on my condition. I was treat as a serious athlete, not an old lady. The exercises prescribed were reviewed each time to reinforce proper technique. This contributed significantly to the speed of my recovery. Thank you!”

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy gets results because our therapists are trained to get patients the correct diagnosis, every time.
Many times patients do not get better because they have been misinformed about where the pain is actually coming from.
This is what a patient had to say about how she got results from physical therapy from a Nick Rinard physical therapist.
“I had on going hamstring and glut pain that I’d been dealing with for more than 5 yrs. I was referred by a friend & had immediate results along with a new diagnosis. I am now able to address the pain on my own & understand the issue, as well as correct it.”

Have you been shocked by what your insurance covers?
As providers we have watched health insurance plans go from zero to affordable deductibles to HIGH deductibles that apply for ancillary services, including PT just within the last few years.
Many of our patients are unaware of that fact and sound genuinely surprised when we verify insurance benefits.
Since you may now face a high deductible at any PT clinic you attend, it makes sense for you to go where you will get the best results!
Our results have been measured, and one visit at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy is worth two visits at the average Portland area PT clinic.
Nick Rinard patients report 92.5% over-all improvement (versus 73.43% Portland area), in only 6.5 visits (versus 11.16 visits Portland area).
