- ArthritisRheumatoid arthritis, aka “inflammatory arthritis,” is also fairly common, although it is not as easily understood. It develops as an autoimmune response, meaning that the immune system sees the joints as a threat and decides to attack them.
- FibromyalgiaIf you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, it might have taken quite some time for your doctor to come to the conclusion of what your problem was. The symptoms of fibromyalgia can vary from person to person.

- Medical Weight LossI would like to say how happy I am able to write this “success story” considering my long history of lower back problems that I have suffered through for approx. 26 years. After 6 weeks (12 sessions) of both water and land therapy, my pain is totally gone. A side benefit as a result of therapy was also 11 lbs. of weight loss.
- Stroke RehabilitationOther common therapies for post-stroke rehabilitation include functional electrical stimulation, constraint-induced movement therapy, partial body weight support, motor image, and neuro-therapy techniques, such as biofeedback.

- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyThe cause of primary lymphedema isn’t always obvious. Your primary care physician may want to take additional imaging tests in order to look at your lymphatic system as well as rule out other possible conditions. These tests may include an MRI scan, CT scan, Doppler ultrasound, or lymphoscintigraphy.
- SciaticaWhile Sciatica and back pain are similar, they still have their differences and are often confused with one another. Back pain is found specifically in the upper, middle, or lower back. Sciatica is a more diffuse, radiating pain down the buttock, thigh, and even leg.
- WhiplashMusculoskeletal headaches occur when there are significant amounts of tension in the neck. This is typically a result of weaknesses, physical imbalances, or damage, although emotional tension (such as stress) can also be a contributing factor. A traumatic injury to the neck, such as whiplash, is a common cause. With neck injuries such as whiplash, the muscles and connective tissues in the neck can become torn or strained. This can lead to agonizing pain radiating in the head, as well as in the face, shoulders, or neck.
- ArthroscopyIf you choose to see a jaw specialist, they may also use a dental splint to keep your teeth properly aligned and prevent tooth grinding. Other types of medical treatment include trigger point acupuncture, joint replacement, or a TMJ arthroscopy.
- Pinched NerveWhen I first came to Moon Physical Therapy I had 3 bulging disks, one which was herniated, a pinched nerve (c5-c6). They worked closely with my doctors and my neck pain was effectively treated, requiring no additional procedures. I am happy to say I am well and I believed it’s thanks to her patience and treatment.
- Joint ReplacementOur Mililani and Kailua physical therapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating movement disorders. These disorders often occur following surgery, especially if you have undergone total joint replacement.
- Arthroscopy
- Hip ReplacementRecovery from a major surgery, such as a hip replacement, can be a long process. Patients will often get discouraged by the slow speed at which their energy levels and range of motion return to normal. One of the major benefits of using aquatic therapy is that patients seem to enjoy it more. And when patients enjoy their rehab it leads to better results and faster recovery.

- Physical TherapyMoon Physical Therapy helps patients with many different conditions. Please see the diagram below for information on common conditions we treat and how physical therapy can help you.
- Frozen ShoulderAlso known as “adhesive capsulitis,” frozen shoulder can occur if your arm has been in a cast or sling for a while, or if you have been bedridden for an extended period of time. It results in a painful loss of motion in the shoulder with a tightening of the shoulder joint that severely limits motion. There are some ethnicities that are more predisposed, and women tend to have more instances than men. Frozen shoulder is more common in women in the 40-60 years of age.
- Tennis ElbowTennis elbow refers to pain on the lateral or outside aspect of the elbow, whereas golfer’s elbow refers to pain on the medial or inside aspect of the elbow. Both of these injuries are a result of repetitive use injuries and can be attributed to a variety of different tasks, not just the sports they are named after. Physical therapy is the best treatment for either of these conditions, because it restores the underlying joint and soft tissue limitations that are causing strain to the tendons, and reduces the inflammation quite rapidly.
- Shoulder Pain
- Ankle SprainAcute pain can be defined as pain that goes away on its own in a few hours, days, or weeks. The example of a minor ankle sprain would be considered acute pain, as the pain will subside shortly within a few days.

- Aquatic TherapyI have a history of Osteoarthritis in my knees with frequent falling, pain, limited range of motion, poor balance and numbness in my feet. After 8 treatment sessions of aquatic therapy I improved 80%. Walking and standing became easier and I was able to return to baking again!
- Manual TherapyWith joint mobilization, your physical therapist can use his or her hands to mobilize an affected joint or may elect to use certain tools, including straps, to help deliver the desired treatment effect.
- TMJ DysfunctionHave you noticed that you have difficulty yawning, chewing or opening your mouth wide? Do you experience jaw pain? Do you hear clicking noises when you open or close your mouth? If so, you may have a condition referred to as temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMJ Dysfunction.
- Achilles TendonitisI used to hate walking for long periods of time and not being able to participate in P.E. I was diagnosed with severe flat feet and Achilles tendonitis. Dr. Tsuchiya referred me to Moon PT for 8 sessions in the pool. I'm really glad I came here!
- Ankle Sprain
- Flat FeetYour foot contains several tendons that work together to form your arch. When the tendons pull together properly, your foot will form a proper arch. However, when the tendons do not pull together properly, your foot will form a very small arch, or no arch at all. This is referred to as “fallen arch” or “flat foot” and can cause pain or discomfort with time.
- Foot Pain
- Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis is an inflammation in the connective tissue on the bottom of your foot. This can occur from aggravated overuse, such as constant standing, improper posture, or footwear that lacks proper arch support.
