Company In-Depth
Company History
Steve Barnett, PT, opened the first Orthopedic & Spine Therapy in Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1990 to provide specialized physical therapy treatment to patients with spine-related conditions, including backs, necks, TMJ, and headaches. Back then, he answered his own phone, did all the cleaning, and filed all the insurance claims in addition to treating patients.
Since then, the practice has grown to 14 locations in strength, each location continuing on with Steve's initial vision to provide manual therapy solutions to musculoskeletal dysfunction.
