TruCare focuses on the patient – and the healing process. “If you’ve never been to a physical therapist before, you really don’t know what to expect,” Debbie says. “The experience is different from clinic to clinic, and the difference is in the results.” Debbie invites anyone who has tried physical therapy without success: “Think of giving us a try. We use a holistic approach, incorporating general conditioning, flexibility, balance, and strengthening in order to address the root cause of an injury, rather than just treat the symptoms.” Even patients who have been advised to pursue a painful recovery process have tried TruCare and found relief without pain, Debbie notes. “The true value is experience,” Debbie adds. “We spend a lot of time with out patients and we stand by our results.” This out-patient, orthopedic therapy center is recommended by many physicians and past patients. Working one-on-one with patients, TruCare’s dedicated team of physical therapists has been the driving force behind hundreds of success stories. Debbie’s staff strives for clinical expertise through continuing education and advanced certifications including kinesiotaping and orthopedics. TruCare works with post-operative patients and those who have sprains, strains, breaks, and back or neck pain. Individuals with balance issues, and are at risk for a fall, have also had success at TruCare. While referrals come from general practitioners and orthopedists, Debbie says patients no longer need a referral. “If a patient comes to us without a referral and needs more testing, we can refer him or her to a doctor,” Debbie explains. A TruCare Physical Therapy: Experience the difference Debbie Dieter-Barker working on patient TruCare also cares about the community, and supports local events and contributes to area charities. TruCare supports the Ramsey Chamber of Commerce and Mahwah Regional Chamber of Commerce, donates to the local food bank, and provides educational seminars to the public upon request. “We are part of the community,” Debbie asserts. “Our goal is to provide service to the community in general – not just our patients.” Her staff has been working as a team for seven years in Bergen County, and moved to 700 C Lake Street in Ramsey just over a year ago.
