Concord covers about 70 square miles, and the town counts itself among the largest in Erie County by area. Springville is the village most people know, but the town also takes in East Concord, Mortons Corners, Fowlerville, Wyandale and its share of Glenwood. This page covers physical therapy for Concord, NY as a whole; if you live in the village, our Springville page goes into more detail.
East Concord, Mortons Corners and the rest of town
Concord mail carries a Springville (14141), East Concord (14055) or Glenwood (14069) ZIP code, and a few addresses use Boston’s 14025. Most of the town, East Concord and Mortons Corners included, is in the Springville-Griffith Institute district, and Eden Central’s boundary reaches into part of Concord as well.
The town’s history describes Mortons Corners and East Concord as places of smaller family farms and businesses. Farm work is physical and repetitive: lifting, carrying, bending and twisting, often for long days outdoors.
Concord, NY physical therapy for farm and barn strains
When a back or neck flares after that kind of work, our evaluation starts with the McKenzie Method. You move, we watch how your symptoms respond, and your exercises come from what the testing shows rather than a generic sheet. Both of the clinic’s owners use MDT, and the method’s lean toward self-treatment can cut down on trips to Buffalo, depending on how you respond.
Some back pain is not a physical therapy problem. Numbness around the groin, or new difficulty controlling your bladder or bowels, calls for emergency care right away.
Sprague Brook, Zoar Valley and Concord Crest
Sprague Brook Park, an Erie County park of more than 2,200 acres on Foote Road in Glenwood, has multi-use trails maintained by the WNY Mountain Biking Association, plus cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sledding in winter. Along the town’s southern edge, Zoar Valley and Cattaraugus Creek draw people for hiking, fishing and canoeing, and Concord Crest in East Concord is a public 18-hole golf course.
Long descents on a trail are hard on knees, a mountain bike crash can land on a shoulder, and a golf swing asks a lot of your back and hips. If your knees are the problem, our page on knee pain explains how physical therapy approaches it.
The town’s history also counts Kissing Bridge, the ski area in Glenwood, within Concord’s limits. If a day on the slopes is how you got hurt, our Colden page covers ski injuries and pre-season conditioning in more detail.
Genesee Road, Route 39 and the 219
Route 219 runs north and south through the middle of Concord and carries most of the drive to our clinic. From East Concord, Genesee Road heads west to the 219; from Mortons Corners, Route 39 gets you there. After that, the 219 hands you off to the Thruway, and the 190 takes you the rest of the way downtown.
A plan of care often front-loads the visits, commonly two or three a week before tapering. From Concord, each one-way drive runs roughly 45 to 50 minutes in light traffic, more at rush hour, so ask at your evaluation how the schedule can taper. Remote therapeutic monitoring gives your therapist a window into your home program between visits, and on Tuesdays through Fridays the first appointments are at 7 AM.
From East Concord, Wyandale or anywhere in between, the first step is the same: a call to (716) 332-4838, or a first-visit request online.
