The full answer

I can't name one "best" physical therapist in Columbia Falls. There isn't an objective ranking, and the online ratings I found are based on very few reviews. Here are the main local options to start with:

Clinics in Columbia Falls

  • OrthoRehab Physical Therapy, 500 12th Ave W, Columbia Falls, MT. They treat low back pain, chronic pain and fall prevention, and offer sports medicine. Their sports team says its therapists are outdoor enthusiasts and athletes.
  • Glacier Peaks Physical Therapy, an outpatient clinic at 535 4th Ave W Columbia Falls, MT 59912 (406) 426-1560.

Individual therapists on Healthgrades

  • Dr. Tyler Ladenburg, DPT is rated 5.0, but that's from 1 rating. He works at 500 12th Ave W, the same address as OrthoRehab.
  • About 7 miles away in Whitefish, Ralph Simpson, PT and Bernadette Lintner, DPT (orthopedic) also have 5.0 ratings. Again, those come from only 1–2 reviews each.
  • Overall, the average rating for Physical Therapists in Columbia Falls is 4.1 stars. The national average is 4.6 stars.

How to choose

  • Match your need. Sports injuries, recovery after surgery, back pain and balance problems are often handled by different specialists.
  • Check insurance. Make sure the clinic is in-network for you.
  • Ask your doctor. Your doctor or surgeon will likely know who gets good results locally.
  • Read Google reviews. They usually have many more reviews than Healthgrades.
  • Ask about visits. Find out whether you'll see the same therapist every time and how long sessions last.

If you tell me what you need PT for, I can help narrow it down.
