SERVING THE TINLEY PARK COMMUNITY SINCE 1994
othopedics | manual therapy | sports medicine
Physical Therapy & Spine, located in Tinley Park, has specialized in treating orthopedic problems of the spine and extremities since 1994. What sets us apart from other therapy clinics in the area is the quality of our therapists. Each physical therapist is extremely talented and licensed with experience in treating complex orthopedic conditions. We can usually tell within 3-4 visits if we can help a patient. Unlike many other therapy clinics we will not waste your time (or money) with passive treatments that are largely ineffective and unproven. We continually help patients who have not gotten relief at the “large-chain” therapy clinics around the Chicago area. Feel free to call us and discuss your problems with one of our experienced therapists.
Our shared mission is to provide the highest quality orthopedic rehabilitation in a personalized, experienced based setting, getting optimal results through:
- Physical therapists with advanced degrees work with patients in a learning environment, where education and self-treatment empowers patients to obtain their highest level of function.
- Individualized treatment that matches a patient’s life experience, learning style and personal goals.
- Education for health care providers and community through student and post-graduate training programs, innovations in therapy techniques and professional lectures and writings.
We accept most insurance plans and are Medicare Certified. We also accept workman’s compensation and we do work conditioning. We are not contracted with Public Aid or Humana, but we can set up a cash-based program per visit. To set up an appointment today, you must have a doctor’s order/prescription to be treated.

HOME OF THE MCKENZIE METHOD TINLEY PARK
mechanical diagnosis and therapy (mdt)
Physical Therapy and Spine is the only McKenzie-based clinic in the Chicago South Suburbs that applies the McKenzie Method in its purest form (and only one of a few clinics in the state of IL). Current evidence-based research has proven that patients get better faster with the McKenzie Method compared to traditional physical therapy interventions. The hallmark of the McKenzie Method is empowering and teaching the patient how to treat and manage their pain with specific exercises and strategies. As the proverb says, instead of just “giving you a fish” we will teach you how to fish (and help yourself).
Our highly trained staff treats every patient as if he or she is a family member or personal friend. We realize that as a consumer, you have a choice as to where you receive your rehabilitation care. We would be grateful for the opportunity to assist in your recovery.
