Pittsburgh Physical Medicine & Squirrel Hill

Squirrel Hill is one of Pittsburgh's most beloved and densely populated neighborhoods — a vibrant community centered on Forbes and Murray Avenues with an extraordinary concentration of families, professionals, Pitt and CMU students, and longtime Pittsburgh residents. Its large academic and healthcare population makes it a prime area for the desk-related and overuse conditions we treat every day.

Pittsburgh Physical Medicine at 5916 Penn Ave is 2.2 miles from Squirrel Hill — about 8 minutes north on Forbes Avenue to Fifth Avenue, then east to Penn Ave in East Liberty. Squirrel Hill patients consistently comment on the contrast between the personalized, one-on-one care at our clinic versus the high-volume practices in the area.

We see a large volume of Squirrel Hill patients for tech neck and upper crossed syndrome from CMU and Pitt students and researchers, lower back pain from extended sitting, and running and hiking injuries from Frick Park's extensive trail system that borders Squirrel Hill to the north.

Common conditions we treat for Squirrel Hill patients:

→ Tech Neck & Upper Crossed Syndrome
→ Lower Back Pain
→ Frick Park Running Injuries
→ Headaches & Migraines
→ Shoulder Pain
→ Sciatica
→ EDS & Hypermobility
→ Post-Surgery Rehab
