ABOUT HERO
Physical therapy built around one patient at a time.
When you're in pain, the last thing you need is to repeat your story to a different provider every visit.
At Hero PT, you work directly with Dr. Figueroa from your first consultation through every treatment session. His one-on-one approach to shoulder and orthopedic physical therapy keeps your care individualized, hands-on, and designed around your goals, not insurance timelines or rushed appointments.

Good to know

Pick a time that works for you and book a complimentary phone consultation right on the site. It takes about two minutes. At your scheduled time, Dr. Figueroa calls you personally to talk through what's going on, answer your questions, and figure out whether he's the right fit. If he is, you'll schedule your in-person initial evaluation and get started. The consultation is a phone call, not an office visit, so there's no need to come in until you're ready to begin.
Dry needling uses thin, sterile needles to release tight muscles and trigger points that hands alone can't reach. It's especially effective for stubborn shoulder and orthopedic pain. Most patients feel a quick muscle twitch or a dull ache as the tissue releases, followed by noticeably looser, easier movement. Dr. Figueroa walks you through every step, and it's always your choice whether it's part of your plan.
Yes. Shoulders are Dr. Figueroa's specialty, but he treats the full range of orthopedic injuries, including backs, knees, hips, post-surgical recovery, and chronic joint pain. If you're dealing with pain or limited movement and aren't sure where it fits, that's exactly what the complimentary call is for. He'll tell you honestly whether he's the right person to help.
Hero PT is located at 28 Millburn Ave, Suite 5, Springfield, NJ, convenient to Short Hills, Millburn, and the surrounding Essex and Union County area. The building has an elevator and plenty of parking, so getting to your appointment is easy. Sessions are by appointment only.
