Serving Oakland
Pittsburgh Physical Medicine & Oakland
Oakland is the academic and medical heart of Pittsburgh — home to the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, UPMC's main campus, Duquesne University, and dozens of research institutions. It's one of the densest concentrations of desk workers, healthcare professionals, graduate students, and researchers in the state — all of whom are at high risk for the postural and repetitive strain conditions Pittsburgh Physical Medicine specializes in.
Our East Liberty clinic at 5916 Penn Ave is 1.5 miles from Oakland — about 6 minutes east on Fifth Avenue or Forbes Avenue. We regularly see Oakland patients from Pitt's medical campus, UPMC Presbyterian, Children's Hospital, and CMU's campus on Forbes Avenue. Street parking on Penn Ave is easy and free.
Conditions we commonly treat in our Oakland patient population include tech neck and Upper Crossed Syndrome from lab and desk work, lower back pain from extended sitting and poor ergonomics, and stress-related muscle tension conditions common among graduate students and medical residents.
