Evidence-Based Treatment for Every Musculoskeletal Condition

Musculoskeletal pain affects more than your body — it changes how you move, how you sleep, how you work, and how you live. At Althea Clinic, Dr. Marcel Moukarzel treats the full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions with over 25 years of clinical expertise and an evidence-based, hands-on approach that gets results.

Whether your pain started with a sports injury, a car accident, years of poor posture, or simply waking up one morning unable to turn your neck — the approach is the same: find the root cause, build a personalized treatment protocol, and restore your function completely.

Conditions We Treat

• Back pain — lower back, upper back, chronic and acute
• Neck pain — cervical strain, stiffness, whiplash
• Sciatica — radiating leg pain from nerve compression
• Disc herniation — bulging, protruding, or herniated discs
• Joint pain — shoulder, knee, hip, ankle, wrist, elbow
• Postural problems — scoliosis, rounded shoulders, forward head
• Post-surgical recovery — knee replacement, spinal surgery, rotator cuff repair
• Injuries from trauma — falls, accidents, workplace injuries

How We Treat It

Every treatment plan at Althea is built around you — your body, your pain pattern, your goals, and your timeline. Dr. Moukarzel combines manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, shockwave therapy (when indicated), and patient education into a protocol that produces measurable progress from session to session.

There are no generic protocols here. Your back pain is not your neighbor's back pain — and your treatment shouldn't be either.

Why Choose Althea for Musculoskeletal Care
