Sports Physical Therapy and Orthopedic

At NewCare, we treat all level of people including Former pro Football Player, Linzy Collins WR Green Bay Packers . Come check out his story!

The First thing I want to say is, “You Don’t Need To Stop!”

One of my patient’s story is this. “ I used to work full time operating machinery but then my shoulder was hurting so I retired. Then, when it started hurting while playing tennis I stopped playing. Now it hurts to do work on my Lawn. Do I have to stop?”

So often the medical solution for your pain is to stop doing the thing you love. It can be running, weightlifting, hiking, swimming, basketball, golf, table tennis, or even pushing a lawn mower. Exercise is good for you. Activity is good for you. One quick search on Google will give you hundreds of articles saying exercise is important to live a healthy life so why are you being told to stop?

A sports injury is anything that stops you from playing your sport. Our job as a physical therapists is to get you back to playing your sport and keep you active, so let us get you back!

How you’ll get better?

Here, we use a combination of Functional Therapeutic Exercise, Dry Needling, Cupping, and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization to treat both the symptoms of your problem and the cause of your problem.

Let’s say you fell on your knee and after limping for a few days it got better. 3 months later, it starts hurting again. Chances are by now your knee pain is not just knee pain. Your body adjusts with pain. That period you were limping you lost strength in your hip, your ankle and hip became stiff, your hip started tilting and your back adjusted as well.

With our therapy we are able to decrease your pain, adjust your posture, and train your muscle for a lifetime of relief.

  • Before I started Physical Therapy I could not sleep on my right side, couldn’t dress or clean myself, participate in any activities at all. I was in so much pain. Now I feel that coming to NewCare Physical Therapy was the best thing that I could have done. I now take care of myself and I’m ready to go back to work!

  • Before I started Physical Therapy I was always scared to reach or do any sudden arm movements, due to my right arm popping out of socket. When I started both doctors were very helpful and explained many things that I didn’t understand about my injury. Once I went into surgery to repair my labrum tear, I came back to many exercises to slowly get my arm strong again. Both doctors were very patient and helpful in making sure I don’t over work my right shoulder. Every day I would do the arm cycle, pulley, weights, arm reaches and body blade. These exercises have allowed me to get closer to have full range of motion of my shoulder and arm. This has been a very challenging experience in my life and I am happy I came to NewCare PT. Thanks guys so much!

  • My experience at NewCare with Dr. Michael Shin has been a great experience from day one. Dr. Shin showed me great care and concern about my recovery by devising a course of treatment, explaining the purpose of the treatment and what I should expect from the treatment. He also gave careful instructions for performing special exercises at home that corresponded with the course of treatment given at NewCare. He was careful to measure my progress and encouraged me to follow the course of treatment and made adjustments as needed. The treatment afforded me a rapid recovery and allowed me to return to my normal course of life. I also observed Dr. Shin’s interaction with other individuals for similar treatment. Dr. Shin showed them a great deal of concern and personal attention. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Shin to others for their physical therapy needs. Thank you Dr. Shin!

  • Before PT, I was unable to fully extend my left forearm. After performing the prescribed exercises, I can fully extend my left forearm. The location of the facility is convenient. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Very nice background music, too. I would highly recommend Dr. Shin and his staff.

  • Dr. Wang and Dr. Shin are great Physical Therapists and people. I spent more time with Dr. Wang who is very easy to get along with ad he understands what patients need.

    When I first began treatment, I had a hard time with certain motions with my legs. With Dr. Wang’s assistance and creativity, I have been able to continue to make strides despite a few setbacks.

    Thank you, Dr. Wang and Dr. Shin for getting me back to good health. All the best with you’re your practice. I’ll be sure to check in with you guys.

  • My name is Alexandra and I started my physical therapy with Dr. Shin in October of 2016. When I first started my therapy my knee was very weak and in a lot of pain. Due to my knee injury, I had difficulty walking, sitting, standing, etc. Dr. Shin worked very hard on making my knee stronger and to eliminate the constant pain that kept me from doing my daily activities. During the sessions, Dr. Shin performed ultrasound on my knee, electrical stimulation, different exercises involving weights, etc. Now, my knee is doing much better. The pain is almost completely gone and I am able to do my daily activities.

  • I first met Dr. Shin when he came to my home after my knee replacement. I found him to be knowledgeable and patient. I came back to see him for low back pain. After my first visit, I began to feel better. I would recommend him highly.
