PT Conditions We Treat

Visual motion hypersensitivity occurs when your brain becomes overly sensitive to visual stimuli—like scrolling screens, crowded spaces, or fast-moving environments. This can lead to symptoms like dizziness, disorientation, eye strain, and even nausea. Often following a concussion, vestibular event, or extended screen exposure, the brain struggles to integrate visual and balance input, resulting in sensory overload.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we help patients with visual motion hypersensitivity retrain their nervous system through gentle, progressive vestibular rehab. Whether your symptoms started suddenly or have been building over time, we’ll guide you through a personalized treatment plan to reduce sensitivity and help you feel more grounded and confident.

Cervicogenic dizziness is a condition where dizziness or a sense of imbalance is triggered by dysfunction in the neck, often due to poor posture, injury, or cervical spine issues. The dizziness typically occurs during head or neck movement and may be accompanied by stiffness, pain, or tension in the upper back and shoulders. While it can feel similar to vestibular disorders, cervicogenic dizziness stems from mechanical and sensory input disruption between the neck and brain.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in identifying the root cause of dizziness and treating it with one-on-one, personalized care. If your symptoms are linked to your neck, we’ll create a targeted treatment plan to restore function, improve posture, and reduce both dizziness and discomfort.

Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS) is a rare neurological condition where you continue to feel a persistent sensation of movement—rocking, swaying, or bobbing after exposure to passive motion, like a cruise, flight, or long car ride. Unlike typical motion sickness, this sensation doesn’t go away once you're back on land and can last for weeks, months, or even years.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we understand how disorienting and exhausting MdDS can be. Through vestibular rehabilitation and nervous system retraining, our team helps you adapt to these sensations, calm your symptoms, and regain control of your balance and daily function.

Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic vestibular condition that causes non-spinning dizziness, unsteadiness, or a “rocking” sensation that lasts for months. Unlike acute vertigo, PPPD is not tied to a specific injury or ear problem; it’s a functional disorder that stems from how your brain interprets balance signals. Symptoms often worsen in busy environments, while walking, or when standing still, even if medical tests show everything is “normal.”

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we help individuals with PPPD retrain their nervous system and regain control over their symptoms. Through personalized vestibular rehabilitation and nervous system regulation strategies, we help reduce the sensation of imbalance, improve functional movement, and support long-term recovery.

Vestibular migraine is a neurological condition that blends symptoms of migraine with episodes of dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems. Unlike typical migraines that center around head pain, vestibular migraines may cause intense disequilibrium, motion sensitivity, and visual disturbances, with or without a headache. These symptoms can be unpredictable and deeply disruptive to daily life.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we work with patients dealing with vestibular migraine to help reduce symptom frequency and severity. Through personalized vestibular rehabilitation and one-on-one support, we guide your nervous system toward greater stability, so you can manage your condition with more confidence and less fear.

Bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) is a condition where both sides of the vestibular system—the balance organs in your inner ears—are damaged or impaired. This can severely disrupt your ability to stay balanced, particularly in low-light environments, on uneven ground, or when moving your head. Unlike sudden-onset vertigo, BVP typically causes a constant sense of unsteadiness, especially when walking or turning.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we help individuals with BVP regain stability, confidence, and control over their movement. Through customized vestibular rehabilitation programs, we focus on retraining your brain and body to compensate for the loss of vestibular input—so you can move more safely and independently in daily life.

Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome (SCDS) is a rare vestibular disorder caused by a thinning or opening (dehiscence) in the bone covering the superior semicircular canal of the inner ear. This abnormal opening can lead to a wide range of symptoms that impact both hearing and balance—including vertigo, sensitivity to sound, and a strange awareness of internal noises like your heartbeat or footsteps.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we understand how disorienting and frustrating SCDS can be. Whether you’re waiting for surgical treatment or looking for long-term symptom management, vestibular therapy can help reduce dizziness, improve balance, and enhance your ability to function with confidence.

Meniere’s disease is a chronic inner ear disorder that causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. These unpredictable episodes can be frightening and disruptive, often leaving you feeling exhausted, unsteady, and anxious about when the next one will hit. While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, Meniere’s is linked to fluid buildup in the inner ear that affects both hearing and balance.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we work with individuals who are managing Meniere’s disease to improve stability, reduce dizziness, and regain control over their lives. Through personalized vestibular therapy, we help you build strategies that make day-to-day movement more predictable and safe—so you can feel more confident, even between flare-ups.

Labyrinthitis is an inner ear disorder caused by inflammation of the labyrinth—a structure that helps control both hearing and balance. Often triggered by a viral or bacterial infection, this condition can cause sudden vertigo, hearing changes, and balance problems that can last days or weeks. In some cases, symptoms linger longer than expected, leaving patients feeling disoriented or unsteady. At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in helping people recover from vestibular conditions like labyrinthitis. Our one-on-one care model allows us to create a customized rehab plan that targets your specific symptoms, speeds up your recovery, and helps you regain confidence in your movements.

Vestibular neuritis is a condition that affects the vestibular nerve, which sends balance and spatial orientation signals from your inner ear to your brain. When this nerve becomes inflamed—often after a viral infection—it can result in sudden, intense vertigo, imbalance, and difficulty focusing your vision. Although hearing is usually unaffected, the impact on balance and stability can be overwhelming and disruptive to daily life. At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in helping patients recover from vestibular neuritis with personalized, evidence-based treatment plans. Our 1-on-1 care model ensures that you receive the focused attention and support you need to regain your confidence and stability—without feeling rushed or overlooked.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are one of the most common and challenging knee injuries—especially among athletes and active individuals. Whether your injury occurred during sports, a fall, or a sudden twist, an ACL tear can dramatically affect your mobility and confidence. At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide personalized, evidence-based rehabilitation programs designed to help you recover safely and return to the activities you love. 

Our 1-on-1 treatment approach ensures that every patient receives the focused care they need at every stage—whether you’re preparing for ACL surgery, recovering post-op, or addressing a past ACL injury that never healed properly. We work closely with orthopedic surgeons and use a functional, goal-oriented model to get you back to full strength.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow smooth, controlled movement. Whether injured from repetitive overhead motion, lifting, sports, or a fall, a rotator cuff strain or tear can cause lingering shoulder pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. Left untreated, these injuries can make everyday tasks like dressing, reaching, or sleeping uncomfortable or even impossible.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we help patients recover from rotator cuff injuries through focused, one-on-one care. Whether you’re avoiding surgery, rehabbing post-op, or dealing with a chronic issue, we’re here to help you restore shoulder strength and confidence.

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful and restrictive condition that limits movement in the shoulder joint. It often develops gradually, with increasing stiffness and discomfort that can interfere with daily tasks like reaching overhead, washing your hair, or sleeping on your side. While it typically progresses through stages, recovery can be slow without targeted intervention.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we offer expert care for frozen shoulder to help you regain motion, reduce pain, and return to your daily activities. Our one-on-one sessions focus on restoring joint mobility and muscle balance at every stage of recovery.

Tennis elbow, clinically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons. While it’s common in tennis players, it can affect anyone who performs repetitive gripping or lifting, including weightlifters, mechanics, hairstylists, and desk workers. If left untreated, even simple tasks like turning a doorknob or holding a coffee mug can become painful.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide hands-on, personalized rehab to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and rebuild strength. Whether your symptoms came on gradually or suddenly, our goal is to help you return to movement and daily life without pain.

Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is a condition caused by overuse or repetitive stress on the tendons that attach to the inside of the elbow. While it’s commonly seen in golfers, it can also affect anyone who performs repeated gripping, lifting, or wrist flexion—like weightlifters, manual laborers, or people who type for long hours. If left untreated, the pain can interfere with work, sports, and everyday tasks.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide targeted, one-on-one care to help you recover from golfer’s elbow and prevent future flare-ups. Our approach focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring strength, and improving movement patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), also known as “runner’s knee,” is a common cause of front-of-the-knee pain, especially in active individuals. It occurs when the kneecap (patella) doesn't move properly along the femoral groove, leading to irritation of the joint and surrounding tissues. PFPS can develop gradually and often worsens with activity, making everyday movements like squatting, climbing stairs, or sitting for long periods painful.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we help patients with patellofemoral pain recover through a personalized, biomechanically focused rehab plan. Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, weekend warrior, or someone dealing with chronic knee pain, we’ll help you restore proper movement and reduce discomfort.

A meniscus tear is one of the most common knee injuries, especially in active adults and athletes. The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint. It can be torn through twisting, squatting, or even wear and tear over time. While some tears require surgery, many respond well to conservative treatment with physical therapy.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we help patients recover from meniscus injuries with a targeted, step-by-step rehab approach. Whether your tear is recent, chronic, or post-surgical, we’re here to reduce pain, restore function, and get you moving again with confidence.

A hip labral tear occurs when the ring of cartilage (the labrum) that lines and stabilizes the hip joint becomes damaged. This cartilage helps keep the femoral head (ball) securely in the hip socket. Tears can result from injury, structural issues like femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), or repetitive motion from activities like running, dancing, or weightlifting. Left untreated, labral tears can cause chronic pain, instability, and limitations in movement.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in helping patients recover from hip labral injuries—whether you're trying to avoid surgery or recovering after one. Our approach is focused, functional, and tailored to your goals.

Ankle sprains are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, and one of the most frequently underestimated. Whether it happened during sports, stepping off a curb, or twisting your foot awkwardly, an ankle sprain can leave you with pain, swelling, and instability that lingers longer than expected. Without proper rehab, even a mild sprain can increase your risk for chronic instability and repeated injuries.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we offer one-on-one care to help you fully recover from ankle sprains—no matter how recent or how long ago it happened. Our approach focuses not only on healing the current injury, but also on preventing the next one.

Shin splints, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome, are a common overuse injury that causes pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia). This condition often affects runners, dancers, and athletes who rapidly increase training volume or intensity. Left untreated, shin splints can worsen and may lead to more serious injuries like stress fractures.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide one-on-one orthopedic rehab to treat shin splints at the root. Whether you’re training for a race or simply want to return to pain-free activity, we’ll guide you through a plan to reduce pain, improve strength, and optimize mechanics.

Tiny cracks in bone from overuse.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is one of the most common overuse injuries among runners, cyclists, and active individuals. It occurs when the iliotibial band—a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the outside of your thigh—becomes irritated or inflamed, typically from repetitive friction where it crosses the knee or hip. While rest may provide temporary relief, without proper treatment, the pain often returns when activity resumes.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we help you address the root cause of IT band syndrome with a comprehensive and personalized rehab plan. Whether you're training for a race or simply want to move without pain, our team is here to help you recover and stay strong.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition that occurs when cartilage wears down over time, causing pain, stiffness, and inflammation. While it's common with aging, it doesn’t have to mean slowing down or giving up the activities you love. Physical therapy is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for managing osteoarthritis symptoms and improving joint function.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we work with patients of all ages to reduce pain and build strength around affected joints. Our goal is to help you move with less pain, more ease, and greater confidence in your day-to-day life.

Rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery to restore function.

Urinary incontinence is incredibly common, but that doesn’t mean it’s normal. If you're leaking during exercise, coughing, laughing, or even just feeling a constant urge to go, you're not alone. Many people silently struggle with bladder control, thinking it's just part of aging, childbirth, or surgery recovery. The truth? There’s help, and physical therapy is one of the most effective, non-invasive ways to treat it.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we offer one-on-one pelvic floor therapy to address the root causes of urinary incontinence. Whether you’re dealing with stress incontinence, urge incontinence, or a combination of both, we’ll help you restore function, build strength, and take back control.

Fecal incontinence, the inability to control bowel movements, can be an overwhelming and isolating condition. Whether it’s occasional leakage, urgency you can’t manage, or difficulty sensing the need to go, it can deeply affect your quality of life. Though it’s more common than people realize, many suffer in silence, unaware that help is available.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide compassionate, one-on-one pelvic floor therapy designed to restore function and rebuild confidence. Our treatment approach is evidence-based, non-invasive, and tailored to your specific symptoms and goals.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when one or more pelvic organs—such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum—descend into the vaginal canal due to weakened or stretched pelvic floor muscles. It’s common after childbirth, hysterectomy, or years of heavy lifting, and may cause symptoms like pelvic pressure, discomfort, or urinary leakage. While it can be distressing, pelvic floor physical therapy is a proven, non-surgical way to manage and often improve symptoms.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in one-on-one pelvic floor therapy to support women with prolapse. Our compassionate approach focuses on restoring strength, improving muscle coordination, and helping you feel confident and comfortable in your body again.

Dyspareunia, painful intercourse, is a deeply personal and often misunderstood condition that can affect both physical and emotional well-being. It may feel like sharp pain, burning, or deep discomfort during or after vaginal penetration. For many, it leads to avoidance, frustration, and feelings of isolation. But here’s the truth: pain with sex is common, but it’s not something you have to live with.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we offer trauma-informed, one-on-one pelvic floor therapy for those experiencing painful intercourse. Whether your symptoms are new or ongoing, we’re here to help you understand what’s happening in your body—and gently guide you toward lasting relief.

Vaginismus is a condition where the muscles around the vaginal opening involuntarily tighten, making penetration painful, difficult, or even impossible. This reflexive muscle response is not just physical, it’s often tied to emotional, psychological, or past trauma-based factors. Vaginismus can make intimacy, tampon use, gynecological exams, and even pelvic floor exercises feel overwhelming, leading many women to suffer in silence.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we offer compassionate and confidential pelvic floor therapy designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been struggling for years, our goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered to reclaim comfort and control over your body.

Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as painful bladder syndrome, is a chronic condition marked by bladder pressure, pelvic pain, urinary urgency, and frequency, without a clear infection or cause. It can feel like a constant need to urinate or a burning, aching sensation in the bladder and pelvic region. Many people with IC feel misunderstood or frustrated by the lack of lasting relief from medications alone.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we take a whole-body approach to IC through one-on-one pelvic floor therapy. We focus on calming the nervous system, relaxing overactive muscles, and helping you reconnect with your body, so you can regain a sense of control and comfort.

Constipation isn’t just about what you eat, it can also be about how your body functions. When the pelvic floor muscles don’t coordinate properly during a bowel movement, it can lead to straining, incomplete emptying, or chronic constipation. This is called dyssynergic defecation, and it’s one of the most common, but least recognized, causes of persistent constipation.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in treating pelvic floor dysfunction as it relates to bowel health. Through personalized, one-on-one therapy, we help you improve muscle coordination, reduce straining, and restore natural, comfortable bowel habits, without relying solely on medications or laxatives.

Pregnancy brings many changes, but back and pelvic pain shouldn’t be something you just "deal with." As your body adapts to support a growing baby, your posture, center of gravity, and hormones all shift. This often leads to discomfort in the lower back, hips, pelvis, or SI joint, especially in the second and third trimesters. The good news? Physical therapy is a safe and effective way to manage pain and feel more supported throughout your pregnancy.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in pregnancy-safe care designed to relieve pain, improve function, and prepare your body for birth and beyond. Every session is one-on-one, gentle, and tailored to your needs and trimester.

Your body just did something incredible, but that doesn’t mean you have to bounce back overnight. Postpartum recovery involves much more than just rest. Whether you had a vaginal delivery or C-section, your core, pelvic floor, posture, and joints have all gone through major changes. Leaking, pressure, pain with sex, or core weakness may feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide one-on-one, evidence-based postpartum care that meets you where you are. Our goal is to help you heal, move confidently, and return to your life feeling strong, supported, and empowered.

A Cesarean section is a major abdominal surgery, and while the focus is often on recovery from childbirth, many women are left with lingering issues from the scar itself. Over time, C-section scar tissue can become restricted, affecting not just the immediate area but also core strength, posture, pelvic floor function, and even mobility. You may feel tightness, pulling, numbness, or pain, especially during exercise, stretching, or sex.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide one-on-one, personalized care to address C-section scar restrictions and restore your body’s full function. Whether you gave birth months or years ago, it’s never too late to heal more completely.

Endometriosis is a complex, chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing significant pelvic pain. While surgery and medication are common treatments, they don’t always address the muscle tension, scar tissue, and movement restrictions that come with the condition. Many people with endometriosis experience ongoing pain that physical therapy can help relieve.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in treating pelvic pain through a gentle, whole-body approach. Our one-on-one pelvic floor therapy helps reduce pain, improve muscle function, and empower you with tools to manage symptoms long term.

Interruption of blood flow to the brain causing neurological deficits.

Damage to the spinal cord resulting in loss of function.

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged or dysfunctional. It commonly affects the hands and feet and can result from diabetes, chemotherapy, injury, autoimmune conditions, or circulatory issues. Symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning, or muscle weakness can interfere with balance, walking, and everyday tasks.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in helping patients with neuropathy improve mobility, reduce fall risk, and maintain independence. Our one-on-one, function-focused care helps retrain the nervous system and restore confidence in movement.

Vestibular disorders disrupt your body’s internal balance system, often resulting in dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, or disorientation. One of the most common types is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), which causes brief but intense spinning sensations with head movements—like rolling over in bed or looking up. Other vestibular conditions may cause more persistent dizziness, balance issues, or motion sensitivity.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in vestibular rehab to help you regain your sense of stability. Whether your symptoms are brand new or have been lingering for months, our one-on-one care model allows us to get to the root of your dizziness and guide you through a customized plan to restore function and confidence.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI)—whether mild, moderate, or severe—can change everything. From dizziness and headaches to balance issues, fatigue, and cognitive fog, the effects of TBI are often complex and far-reaching. Recovery takes more than rest; it requires specialized care that addresses both the brain and body.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide individualized rehab programs designed to support your healing after a TBI. Whether your injury was from a fall, car accident, sports impact, or blast injury, we’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward—safely and confidently.

Balance is something most people take for granted until it’s gone. Whether your unsteadiness is subtle or severe, balance disorders can have a major impact on your confidence, mobility, and quality of life. These disorders may stem from the inner ear, nervous system, musculoskeletal imbalances, or even visual disturbances. The good news? Balance is highly trainable.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in identifying the root cause of your balance challenges and helping you retrain your body for stability and control. Our 1-on-1 sessions ensure a personalized approach to help you move safely and confidently again.

If your concussion was weeks or even months ago, but you’re still feeling “off,” you’re not alone. Up to 30% of individuals experience lingering symptoms known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS). These may include dizziness, headaches, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, light or sound sensitivity, and imbalance. PCS can affect every part of your day—and while it can feel frustrating, it is treatable.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in neuro-focused concussion rehab to help you recover safely and fully. Our one-on-one sessions address the complex interaction between your brain, vestibular system, eyes, and body, so you can feel steady, sharp, and like yourself again.

Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic condition characterized by tight bands of muscle and trigger points that cause localized and referred pain. These “knots” can feel tender to the touch and may create aching, burning, or radiating pain that limits movement and daily function. Unlike general muscle soreness, myofascial pain tends to persist and may not respond to rest or stretching alone.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we use dry needling as part of an integrative approach to treating myofascial pain. This precise technique helps release tight muscle bands, deactivate trigger points, and restore healthy muscle function—so you can move and feel better.

Chronic headaches (especially tension-type headaches) can feel like a never-ending cycle of pressure, discomfort, and fatigue. They’re often caused by muscular tension, postural imbalances, stress, or even jaw dysfunction. While pain medications may offer temporary relief, they rarely address the root cause. That’s where physical therapy comes in.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we specialize in treating chronic and tension headaches through a hands-on, whole-body approach. Our personalized treatment plans target the muscular, postural, and neurological contributors to your pain so you can experience fewer headaches, less intensity, and more control.

Dysfunction of jaw joint and surrounding muscles causing pain.

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physical therapy. Whether caused by prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, poor posture, or injury, it can interfere with everything from sleep to work to daily movement. When muscles become tight or irritated, they often form trigger points—knots that cause pain, stiffness, and restricted motion.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we use dry needling as part of a comprehensive, hands-on approach to treat lower back pain. This evidence-based technique targets muscle tension and trigger points to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up your recovery.

Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal issues, often caused by poor posture, stress, injury, or long hours at a desk. Tight, overactive muscles in the neck and upper back can lead to tension headaches, reduced mobility, and radiating pain into the shoulders or arms. When traditional stretching or massage isn’t enough, dry needling can offer deeper, more lasting relief.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we use dry needling as part of a personalized treatment plan to address the root cause of your neck pain. Our goal is to reduce muscle tightness, improve movement, and help you feel more comfortable and in control of your day.

Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff or bursa become compressed between the bones of the shoulder during movement, especially with lifting or reaching overhead. This friction causes pain, inflammation, and limited range of motion. Over time, it can lead to tendonitis or even rotator cuff tears if left untreated.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we help patients resolve shoulder impingement through personalized rehab plans that address the root cause of pain and movement dysfunction. Whether your symptoms started gradually or from a specific injury, we’ll help you return to pain-free movement and daily activities with confidence.

Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttock, compresses or irritates the sciatic nerve. This can cause sharp, burning, or radiating pain through the glutes and down the back of the leg, mimicking sciatica. It's often triggered by prolonged sitting, overuse, or muscular imbalances that lead to tension and inflammation in the area.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we combine expert orthopedic care with dry needling to release deep muscle tension, reduce nerve irritation, and restore healthy movement patterns. Our one-on-one approach ensures we treat the root cause—not just the symptoms.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially in runners, walkers, and those who spend long hours on their feet. It occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot—becomes inflamed or irritated, typically due to overuse, poor foot mechanics, or tight calf muscles. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain and reduced mobility.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we combine targeted orthopedic rehab with dry needling to address both the source of your pain and the surrounding muscle imbalances. Our one-on-one sessions are designed to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and help you move pain-free.

Sciatica is more than just back pain, it's nerve irritation that can cause sharp, burning, or radiating pain down the buttock, leg, and even into the foot. Often caused by compression or inflammation near the lower spine or deep hip muscles, sciatica can interfere with walking, sitting, working, and sleep. While medications or rest may provide temporary relief, long-term results come from treating the source of the problem.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we use dry needling as part of a comprehensive orthopedic approach to reduce muscle tension, relieve nerve pressure, and get you moving comfortably again. Each treatment plan is tailored to your symptoms and movement patterns.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. It often develops gradually, with symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand, especially at night or during repetitive tasks. Left untreated, it can interfere with work, sleep, and everyday activities like typing, gripping, or lifting.

At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we take a hands-on approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Our goal is to relieve pressure on the nerve, restore proper movement in the wrist and hand, and help you avoid surgery whenever possible.
