Plantar Fasciitis

Ultrasound
Our approach to physical therapy has been very much influenced by my teenage years back in England – playing competitive tennis. As a young athlete I had all the normal injuries from ankle sprains, back spasm, knee tendonitis – and of course much time was spent in the physiotherapist office – a small place with a couple of anatomy pictures on the wall, and a few pieces of low tech equipment. Treatment was always about 40 to 50 minutes – just the therapist, no front desk, no support staff, or aids – he would spend all the time with me – stretching, exercising, massage – traditional modalities such as use of ice, moist heat, electrical tens, ultrasound – and he continually corrected my alignment while we did the exercises together, – he would look at my home program, and correct my technique – sometimes treatment was painful, sometimes it felt good, but always treatment was engaging – the therapist was present.

Sciatica
Sciatica also termed radiculopathy implies that the radicular nerve (nerve root) in the low back is being irritated or pinched by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or other lower back disorder. The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back all the way to the foot and toes. Sciatica pain can be experienced anywhere along this […]

Physical Therapy
Along with treating the adult population I have been providing pediatric physical therapy for the past 9 years – I work with a number of pediatricians in NYC. My experience is wide, and I treat patients in age range from 1 month to teenagers.
Frozen Shoulder
After a bad experience at a cookie-cutter physical therapy chain, a friend recommended Steven Barteck. My frozen shoulder was so immobilized that I could not brush my hair or slip into a jacket without painful contortions. Steven — who is both personable and professional — designed a program of hands-on therapy and home exercises that completely restored my flexibility and strength. The day I reached up to change my smoke detector battery, I felt more triumphant than if I had climbed Mt. Everest! Steven is a gifted healer. Marlene E
Tennis Elbow
I came accross this article: http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/health/2009/10/21/2009-10-21_mount_sinai_.html Physical therapy does work for tennis elbow – also known as lateral epicondylitis– yes it does not always work in 6 to 8 weeks but eventually it does work – and as ever this becomes an issue with health insurance- the more important issue is these types of problems […]
Ankle Sprain
Back Pain
Manual Therapy
Goals – from the start I establish what it is you need to get back to, and how soon you need to be there. Based on experience one can assess how likely this is – there are so many factors that are involved in this -setting these goals focuses the treatment plan. Alignment – this covers a wide spectrum. My general belief is that we could avoid many of the injuries we have, and prevent future ones if we use our bodies more efficiently. It is a little bit more than just sitting up straight – but not much more. I try to give a tremendous amount of feedback to patients about their postural mechanics while at work, and how to efficiently hit a ball whether it be a tennis ball, soccer ball or baseball – or any ball. How to use gym equipment without getting an account at your surgeons office. I do this by having patients email pictures of their work stations, and video of a particular sport. We then look at it together – and I suggest alternatives – this tends to be a backward and forward interaction. Posture correction in the workplace is not just one fix – because there is so much variability in workstations, and everyone’s body responds differently to corrections – though as with all technique – efficient use of our muscles is critical – practicing technique makes perfect. Hands on Therapy – not to be confused with lots of massage. Manual therapy techniques are vital to the recovery of the patient – and they form a salient part of my treatment – quite often I don’t think you can get the patient better without them, but they are never instead of alignment or exercise, but instead facilitate us getting back to exercise sooner. Exercise – we incrementally and gradually increase intensity and duration – so that we are back at a pre-injury level of fitness. And yes the patient tends to be chomping at the bit to get back in the ring – In many of the exercises I participate doing them with you – whether it is throwing or kicking a ball, or balancing on a trampoline – I am there encouraging you helping move the healing and rehabilitation process along. These are the building blocks to my therapy approach -Steven Barteck PT

Achilles Tendonitis
By far the most common diagnosis that I treat babies for is Torticollis and Developmental Delays – such as not walking or crawling. For teenagers very commonly I treat Ankle Sprains, Achilles Tendonitis, Osgood Schlatters Disease, and numerous overuse injuries.
Ankle Sprain
Plantar Fasciitis
It can be quite daunting to choose a physical therapist in New York, and I am writing this review in hopes of helping those faced with choosing a PT out of the multitude of available practitioners in the city. I was in this exact position in August, when I was diagnosed with bursitis in my knees, IT band syndrome and plantar fasciitis. I am so happy that I chose Oshman & Barteck. Steven Barteck is a true professional, and I cannot overstate how knowledgeable he is about the field of physical therapy. I was always impressed by his skills, expertise and sincere commitment to helping his patients. Unlike many other physical therapists, Steven gives you his full attention during every session – there is no ‘group therapy’ here. Moreover, he expresses a level of patience that is hard to find in today’s medical professional community. With Steven’s help, I recovered fully and have the tools to make sure I stay healthy and on my feet. I recommend Oshman & Barteck without hesitation to anyone in need of a top-notch physical therapy practice in New York. Natasha
