“Far too often, the medical field is quick to prescribe opiates and send their patients out the door. This may control pain for a period of time, but it simply addresses the symptoms without addressing the severe functional limitations that caused the pain.”

Pain Relief

“I couldn’t move the pain was so bad”

Pain is a warning signal, like a stop sign. It is the most frequent reason that patients seek medical attention.

Far too often, the medical field is quick to prescribe opiates and send their patients out the door. This may control pain for a period of time, but it simply addresses the symptoms without addressing the severe functional limitations that caused the pain.

Northern Edge Physical Therapy understands the challenges faced by those suffering and are seeking chronic pain treatment programs. We develop. . . 

Function Recovery

We treat a range of issues from limb paralysis to arthritis, incontinence to painful intercourse. What you need to know is that you are not alone. We have a team that has helped people just like you.

Despite the body’s amazing ability to regenerate, external factors such as chronic inflammation, advanced age, or pinched nerves may keep the body from fully healing.

Our therapists at Northern Edge Physical Therapy are highly trained in kinesiology, the study of the mechanics of body movement, and will help reverse inflammation and treat trigger points. . .

“Tiny differences are what separate a touchdown from a tackle, a ski champion from a fall, and an Iditarod winner from a scratch.”

Athletic Performance

Top performing athletes are defined by mere seconds and inches. Tiny differences are what separate a touchdown from a tackle, a ski champion from a fall, and an Iditarod winner from a scratch. That’s why athletes looking to get an edge, come to Northern Edge Physical Therapy.

Our therapists identify the tiny biomechanical flaws that can separate regular athletes from elite performers. As movement specialists, we are trained to identify and correct inefficiencies in the body that can not only prevent injury but improve performance.

What Makes Us Better

Northern Edge Physical Treatment is consistently rated as one of the best clinics in Alaska.  A vast majority of patients have gotten results with us when other medical options failed them.  We recommend always pursuing physical therapy as your first option.  Watch the videos to see what other people like you have experienced at Northern Edge Physical Therapy. 

Top 10 Reasons Clients See Us

10. Worker's Compensation

Whether it is from lifting heavy objects or even sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day, repeated stress at work can lead to pain and inflamation.  The good news is if you were injured at work, chances are, you are covered by worker’s compensation.  Alaska’s law requires most employer’s to cover worker’s compensation which typically pays 100% of your treatment at Northern Edge Physical Therapy.

9. Concussions

Confusion, headaches, balance issues, nausea, light senstivity, fatigue, and more are all short term symptoms of a concussion. Every concussion is considered a serious injury.

Concussions or mild traumatic brain injury can result in long term neurological disabilities. Seeking rehabilitation from physical therapists who treat concussion patients should be your top priority. 

8. Vertigo
Vertigo and Dizziness are among the most common symptoms causing patients to visit a physician (as common as back pain and headaches).

The challenge with dizziness is proper testing to determine whether the problems involve the inner ear (vestibular system), neurological system or postural problems affecting balance. Lack of specific diagnosis and treatment may be the reason some dizziness tend to become chronic. 

7. Knee Pain

Most people feel like they have tried everything to make knee pain go away but nothing provides long term relief.

At NEPT, we believe that pain is not the issue. Pain is a warning signal, like a stop sign.

6. Pelvic Floor Therapy
Whether the problems involve urinary incontinence or urgency, sexual dysfunction, or painful intercourse, Northern Edge has the expertise to restore pelvic function. Other symptoms may include pain in the hip or buttock, a painful lower abdomen, or pain in the pelvic joints.

Many clients have a difficult time bringing up pelvic floor issues as they are often regarded as embarrassing or irrelevant. Given the intimate nature of these symptoms, many people only seek treatment after symptoms are nearly unbearable or full-fledged.

The good news is that there is hope for people struggling with pelvic floor dysfunction and associated pain symptoms. We offer specialized programs to help achieve pelvic pain relief.

5. Post-Op Rehab

How quickly you recover from surgery is 100% dependent on the physical therapist you choose. Interview us before surgery to find out the success you can have.

As a postoperative patient, you have the right to choose where you receive physical therapy. At Northern Edge Physical Therapy, we understand that making the right choice can be a difficult decision, which is why we are committed to ensuring that every patient receives personalized, evidence-based treatment designed to meet their individual needs and goals.

4. Neck Pain
Neck pain can originate from a variety of sources. Some common causes of neck pain include muscle strain, poor posture, degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis.  Stress and tension can also contribute to neck pain, as can poor sleeping positions or the use of electronic devices for extended periods of time.
3. Headaches/Migraines
Migraines are quite common but the condition is poorly understood. There is a stark difference between minor headaches that ruin your day and migraines that keep you from functioning. The problem must be defined appropriately to get results with migraine treatment. There are three major categories of migraines:

Primary headaches – Includes the main types of headaches: Migraines, Cluster, Tension headaches. Migraines typically involve a prodrome which is a signal of the oncoming headache.

2. Shoulder Pain

Most people feel like they have tried everything to make shoulder pain go away but nothing provides long term relief.

At NEPT, we believe that pain is not the issue. Pain is a warning signal, like a stop sign.

Far too often, the medical field is quick to prescribe opiates and send their patients out the door. This may control pain for a period of time, but it simply addresses the symptoms without addressing the severe functional limitations that caused the pain.

1. Back Pain

At Northern Edge Physical Therapy, we first address where the pain is originating from. Most often pain is not from where you feel it, but is related to muscles and movement in other parts of the body that are not functioning correctly. Once we have interpreted your pain signals, we can then proceed with treatment.
