Personalized, One-on-One Care for Every Patient 

At Charlottesville Orthopaedic Center, we believe that personalized care is key to successful rehabilitation. Our licensed physical therapists take the time to understand your individual needs and goals, developing a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to you. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, rehabbing a sports injury, or managing a chronic condition, your therapist will work closely with you to ensure that your rehabilitation plan aligns with your lifestyle and long-term health goals. 

Our therapists use a variety of techniques, exercises, and modalities to help you regain strength, improve range of motion, and manage pain. Each treatment session is one-on-one, giving you the full attention and expertise you deserve. With our hands-on approach, we aim not only to help you recover but also to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to prevent future injuries. 

Who Can Benefit from Injury Rehab? 

Injury rehabilitation is designed for patients at all stages of recovery. If you’re recovering from surgery, physical therapists will work with you to rebuild strength and mobility. Sports-related injuries, including ACL tears, tendonitis, or sprains, can also benefit from our specialized rehab services, which focus on returning you to peak performance. Whether your injury is acute or chronic, we offer rehabilitation options that address both the immediate concerns and long-term health of your musculoskeletal system. 

In addition to traditional injuries, our rehabilitation services are beneficial for patients managing ongoing orthopedic conditions such as arthritis or back pain. No matter what type of injury or condition you’re dealing with, our team has the expertise and resources to support your recovery and improve your overall quality of life. 

Referred by Your Physician? You’re Still in Great Hands. 

If you’ve been referred to us by your own physician, rest assured that you’ll still receive the same level of comprehensive care we offer all of our patients. We maintain open lines of communication with any referring doctors, ensuring that everyone on your care team is working together toward your recovery goals. Our integrated approach makes it easier to track your progress, make necessary adjustments, and provide you with the most effective treatment plan possible. 

Convenient, Accessible, and Patient-Focused Care 

We understand that your time is valuable, which is why we’ve designed our physical therapy services to be as accessible and convenient as possible. We offer flexible scheduling, including extended hours, to accommodate your busy lifestyle. With our easy-to-use online scheduling system, booking an appointment is simple and straightforward.

I had a great experience concerning this appointment. I was given an appointment either the day I phoned in or following. This is most unusual and most beneficial to the patient. My concerns were acknowledged by the practitioner and exam was pain free with managed results. A practitioner explained and I was given all information needed. My visit was overall pain free with treatment. Thank-you Charlottesville Orthopedics!

Dr. Nielsen and his team are great! I’m relatively new to the Charlottesville area and have been very frustrated by the long wait times for medical appointments and then the brevity of those appointments once they finally arrive. Dr. Nielsen and his team are the opposite. They go above and beyond spending more than ample time with you, clearly explaining their diagnosis and answering any questions you may have. I highly recommend them.
