Pittsburgh Physical Medicine & Bloomfield
Bloomfield — Pittsburgh's Little Italy — is one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods. Anchored by Liberty Avenue and bordered by Friendship, Lawrenceville, and Polish Hill, Bloomfield has a distinctive character: a dense, walkable, working neighborhood that has been home to generations of Pittsburgh families while attracting a new wave of healthcare workers, young professionals, and creatives.
At just 0.8 miles from Bloomfield's center, Pittsburgh Physical Medicine is the closest full-service chiropractic and physical therapy clinic to the neighborhood. Most Bloomfield patients reach us in under 4 minutes by heading east on Penn Avenue or Liberty Avenue toward East Liberty. We're directly next to Whole Foods on Penn Ave — straightforward to find, with free street parking right in front.
Who We Treat in Bloomfield
Bloomfield's proximity to UPMC Shadyside, UPMC Presbyterian, and Allegheny General makes it home to one of Pittsburgh's largest concentrations of healthcare workers. Nurses, surgical technicians, physical therapists, and clinical staff from these facilities regularly develop the occupational musculoskeletal conditions that come from long shifts on your feet: chronic neck pain, lumbar strain, plantar fasciitis, and shoulder injuries. We are in-network with UPMC Health Plan and Highmark BCBS — the two most common plans among UPMC and AHN employees.
Beyond healthcare workers, Bloomfield's older Italian-American families make up a significant part of our patient base — many managing degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and osteoarthritis that responds extremely well to the combination of chiropractic care and physical therapy we provide. We also treat the growing population of young professionals and families who have moved into Bloomfield's renovated row houses and now commute downtown or to Oakland, dealing with the neck and back pain that comes from hours at a desk or a long commute.

Why Bloomfield Patients Choose Us Over Closer Options
There are massage studios and single-discipline clinics closer to Bloomfield, but Pittsburgh Physical Medicine offers something they can't: chiropractic care, physical therapy, and medical massage under one roof, with providers who actively communicate about your case. Most Bloomfield patients have told us they tried other options first — and came to us when they weren't getting better. We get to the root cause, not just the symptom.
We're also one of the few clinics in Pittsburgh where you see the actual doctor every single visit — not an aide or a tech. Dr. Foltz, Dr. O'Mara, and Dr. Crockatt are hands-on every session.
