Teresa M. Gohara, DPT brings orthopedic and chronic-pain rehabilitation expertise to Chula Vista from her practice at 321 Chula Vista Street, holding NPI 1811272966 and treating a caseload that spans post-surgical orthopedic recovery, chronic-pain management, and functional mobility restoration. Her treatment planning for complex pain cases benefits from referral coordination with interventional providers such as California Pain Consultants, which delivers epidural steroid injections and joint aspirations that reduce inflammation before structured PT begins. Gohara's affiliation with the TOTAL Physical Therapy practice gives her access to both the Broadway clinic's pediatric resources and the Fenton Street sports-performance facility in Eastlake, allowing patient referrals across the two-location system. Post-rehabilitation movement maintenance benefits from structured flexibility and mindfulness programming at Namaste Fitness Otay Ranch, which provides yoga-based mobility work suited to former PT patients preserving joint range. Lumbar stabilization protocols for disc-herniation patients integrate McGill's Big Three exercises — curl-up, side bridge, and bird dog — with graded walking progressions to restore pain-free ambulation endurance.
