Several common culprits behind foot and ankle pain encompass:
- Injury: Traumatic incidents can result in pain and discomfort in the foot or ankle.
- Excessive Movement: Overexertion or engaging in excessive physical activity can lead to pain in these areas.

Fibromyalgia
Med1Care Therapy Partner’s physical therapists possess extensive knowledge in treating fibromyalgia, a complex disorder that can develop gradually or be triggered by traumatic events like car accidents, injuries, surgeries, infections, or prolonged psychological stress.
Symptoms of fibromyalgia encompass widespread musculoskeletal pain, moderate to severe fatigue, sleep difficulties, and memory issues. Fibromyalgia might coexist with conditions like tension headaches, restless legs, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), cognitive difficulties, painful menstruation, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems.
Depression and anxiety are common side effects of fibromyalgia. While there is currently no known cure for the condition, a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, including medications, counseling, relaxation techniques, exercise, and physical therapy, can significantly help manage the symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life.
The Cause and Treatment for Fibromyalgia
Many researchers studying fibromyalgia believe that the disorder is a result of adaptations in the brain and spinal cord that lead to the hyper-activation of pain-signaling chemicals along neural pathways.
Fibromyalgia is more prevalent in women and appears to have a genetic component as well.
Since fibromyalgia affects the entire body, its diagnosis relies on a list of symptoms and the exclusion of other conditions. Healthcare providers may also conduct a blood test to identify immune system markers.
Once diagnosed, various medications (with primary care physician approval) can help manage pain and fatigue. Currently, three FDA-approved medications are used in the treatment of fibromyalgia:
- Cymbalta (duloxetine) – increases serotonin and norepinephrine levels, reducing depression.
- Lyrica (pregabalin) – effective for nerve pain.
- Savella (milnacipran) – provides pain relief and reduces fatigue.
How We Help
For individuals dealing with severe fibromyalgia, a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach is often necessary, involving a primary care doctor, rheumatologist, physical therapist, and pain management clinic (physical therapy fibromyalgia). In milder cases, lifestyle adjustments and stress reduction strategies may suffice for management.
At Med1Care Therapy Partner, our experienced therapists are specialized in treating fibromyalgia, and your personalized treatment plan may include exercises that stretch and strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, as well as hot and cold treatments for symptom relief. Stress reduction strategies and pain medications may also be incorporated into the plan to enhance your overall well-being.
We collaborate closely with your pain management team to effectively reduce pain, manage symptoms, and improve your quality of life.
To take the first step towards relief, call us at 419.866.0555 to schedule a consultation. Our skilled specialists will guide you on your journey to a better quality of life.
Stroke
Med1Care Therapy Partner boasts specialized physical therapists who excel in stroke treatment. We are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, aiming to enhance skills and maximize independence for individuals recovering from strokes.
Overview of Stroke Care
Commonly referred to as a cerebrovascular accident, a stroke is characterized as an event affecting the brain with rapid-onset clinical signs of focal or global cerebral function disturbance. These symptoms may persist for 24 hours or more, or result in death, with no apparent cause other than of vascular origin. The umbrella of stroke includes cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, as classified by the World Health Organization. It’s important to note that while often referred to as an “accident,” a stroke is better likened to a “brain attack,” similar to a “heart attack.”
Our specialized team is committed to offering tailored care and support to individuals recovering from strokes, with the aim of aiding in the restoration of function, independence, and quality of life. If you or a loved one is navigating stroke recovery, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 419.866.0555 to schedule a consultation. Our experienced specialists are dedicated to guiding you through the journey towards recovery and enhanced well-being.
Causes
- 85% of strokes result from an interruption of blood flow to a specific brain region.
- 15% of strokes are attributed to the rupture of a blood vessel.
Time is Crucial:
- Every minute a patient goes untreated contributes to the death of countless neurons.
- So rapid and appropriate treatment is paramount.
Signs and Symptoms:
- Drooping of the face
- Weakness in the arm
- Difficulty in speech
Immediate need to call 911. Refer to the American Stroke Association website for further information.
Watch Out for:
- Sudden numbness or weakness, particularly on one side of the face or body.
- Confusion, difficulty speaking, or understanding speech.
- Visual impairments.
- Issues with walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination.
- Intense headache with an unknown cause.
Rehabilitation
Timing is crucial. Initiating rehabilitation early yields better outcomes and a higher potential for reducing stroke severity. Our approach to therapy is tailored to your unique needs (therapy will differ in type and intensity).
Rehabilitation Goals:
- Minimize impairments
- Maximize functionality
- Prevent complications
– Treatment Techniques:
- Orthotics
- Mirror Therapy
- Strength Training
- Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy
Benefits of Stroke Rehabilitation at Med1Care Therapy Partners
At our facility, we offer personalized 1-on-1 assessment and treatment to provide specialized care tailored to your unique stroke situation. Our approach is also efficient and effective, utilizing current evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs).
CPGs referenced by Med1Care Therapy Partners include:
- Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations, 6th Edition.

Parkinson’s Disease
Med1Care Therapy Partner’s specialized physical therapists are dedicated to addressing Parkinson’s disease. Our approach is holistic and multidisciplinary, with a core emphasis on skill development and enhancing independence.
Overview of Parkinson’s Disease Care
Exercise serves as a pivotal factor not only for general health but also for the effective management of Parkinson’s Disease. Our therapists are adept at providing guidance on appropriate exercises to enhance strength, balance, and mobility. These efforts are aimed at ensuring your independence and overall well-being.
Distinguishing features from conventional rehabilitation include:
Amplitude Training:
Our approach incorporates specialized therapy known as Amplitude Training, aimed at enhancing the range and extent of movement.
Think Big and Loud:
Engaging in exercises that involve intentionally exaggerated movements can potentially retrain and slow down the progression of the smaller or shuffling movements often associated with Parkinson’s.
Reciprocal Patterns:
We emphasize reinforcing natural reciprocal patterns, such as the synchronized swinging of arms while walking. This approach aids in minimizing the impact of Parkinson’s on these patterns and their functionality.
It does have some similarities to conventional rehabilitation including:
Balance TrainingAddressing the impact of Parkinson’s on your balance system is a crucial aspect, as it can affect your walking safety. Your therapist will work with you to comprehend the root causes of your balance challenges and provide strategies to counteract them. | Stretching and FlexibilityTightness in hip and calf muscles is common among Parkinson’s patients. Regular stretching throughout the day can help alleviate stiffness and prevent a decline in mobility. Your therapist will demonstrate these effective stretching techniques. | Strength EnhancementStrengthening exercises remain a significant component of rehabilitation for many patients, particularly those dealing with Parkinson’s disease. The specific exercises prescribed will vary based on the stage of the disease you are experiencing; ensure open communication with your therapist. |
“Remember, increasing your physical activity to at least 2.5 hours a week can slow the decline in your quality of life.” – Parkinson’s Outcome Project

In cases where symptoms encompass a joint deformity, an inability to support weight, restricted leg or hip movement, abrupt swelling, severe pain, or signs of infection like fever, immediate medical attention is imperative.
Causes of Knee & Hip Pain
Hip and knee pain can stem from a variety of factors, with the condition originating either from issues within the joint itself or the surrounding soft tissues, which encompass ligaments, tendons, and bursae.
Frequent causes of hip and knee pain include:
- Arthritis, encompassing juvenile idiopathic arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and septic arthritis

Frequently Asked Questions
In both the United States and Ohio, you typically do not require a doctor’s referral to visit a physical therapist. However, certain insurance plans may necessitate a referral or authorization to ensure coverage for physical therapy services. It is advisable to consult your insurance provider to determine if they have any specific requirements before seeking treatment.
During your initial visit to a physical therapist, they will typically conduct an evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your pain or discomfort and create a personalized treatment plan. As part of the evaluation process, the physical therapist will likely inquire about your medical history and perform a physical assessment to evaluate the range of motion in specific joints and muscles. By assessing these factors, the therapist will be able to determine the most suitable treatments that may be beneficial for your condition.
Occupational therapists indeed treat a wide variety of problems and conditions. They commonly work with individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cerebral palsy, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, Down syndrome, learning disabilities, physical challenges resulting from injury or illness, sensory processing disorders, and traumatic brain injuries. Furthermore, occupational therapists can also provide assistance for mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
My physical therapists, Colleen and Lauren, were very helpful in showing me the exercises I needed to regain my strength and making sure I understood how to do them. My occupational therapists, Melissa and Danielle, were also helpful in instructing me in ways I could strengthen and regain the use of my left hand. Each of these wonderful ladies who helped me were very professional and friendly, and always willing to take the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions.
I want to thank Melissa, Lauren, and Heather, for always being here for me, and giving me great care. By me being new to the state I was having lots of anxieties, and my team was great, always on time and willing to lend a helping hand if needed. Thank you Med 1 for everything.
