Physical Therapy in New Brunswick, NJ
If you are looking for physical therapy in New Brunswick, NJ Rehab Experts treats New Brunswick patients at our Iselin clinic at 485 Route 1, a straight drive north on Route 1. You get one-on-one care from licensed clinicians, treatment in English and Spanish, and a plan built around the real cause of your pain, whether it started at work, at the gym, behind the wheel or at a desk. Every plan begins with a full evaluation, so you know what is going on before treatment starts.
New Brunswick is a busy place to live and work. Long shifts at the hospital, hours of studying, a weekend game or a daily commute on Route 1 and Route 18 can all leave you with back, neck or joint pain that does not go away on its own.
This guide covers what physical therapy can treat, what your first visit looks like, how insurance and referrals work, and how to reach our clinic from New Brunswick. If you live closer to the Menlo Park area, see our guide to physical therapy in Edison, NJ.
What Can Physical Therapy Help With?
New Brunswick patients most often come to us for:
Back and neck pain. From lifting, long hours at a desk or on your feet, or a disc problem.
Posture-related pain. Neck, shoulder and upper back pain from laptops, phones and study sessions. Our posture correction program explains how we treat it.
Sports injuries. Sprains, strains and overuse injuries from running, lifting and team sports. See our sports physical therapy page.
Knee, hip and shoulder pain. From wear and tear, overuse or an old injury that never healed.
Car accident and work injuries. Including whiplash and workers' compensation cases.
Numbness and tingling. If your hands or feet go numb, our neuropathy treatment guide explains how physical therapy can help.
