Conditions We Treat · Beverly Hills

What we treat, head to toe

Concussion to plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder to slipping ribs. If you are not sure whether we treat your pain, start here.

Most of our patients have already seen someone

Patients often tell us they didn’t know a clinic like ours existed, or they assumed we only treat one thing. Our name has the word fascia in it, and that leaves people wondering whether their shoulder, their tailbone, or their headaches count.

They usually do. Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps and links every muscle, nerve, tendon, and organ, and it is richly supplied with nerves.1 It can thicken, stiffen, and stop gliding,2,3 and that can hurt in ways an MRI or X-ray doesn’t show. Disc and joint “wear” on a scan, meanwhile, is common in people who have no pain at all.4 So a normal-looking scan doesn’t mean nothing is wrong, and an abnormal one doesn’t always explain the pain.

At The Fascia Institute and Treatment Center of LA, Dr. Jacques Courseault, a board-certified physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, uses ultrasound to look at the soft tissue while it moves. Then he treats what he finds: fascia, ligament, tendon, muscle, or nerve. The list below is what that covers, organized by body region. Each item links to a deeper page where we have one.

clinics in The Fascia Institute network
Region 1

Head, face & neck

Neck pain
A stiff, aching, or “stuck” neck that hasn’t responded to therapy or massage. We examine the deep neck fascia, the small joints, and the ligaments on ultrasound, where fascial changes in neck pain can be seen and tracked.5
Concussion (lingering symptoms)
Headache, neck pain, and dizziness that hang on for weeks after a concussion can come partly from the neck.6 We evaluate and treat the neck side; brain recovery stays with your concussion team.
Migraine & neck-driven headache
Headaches that start in the neck are often labeled migraine.7 We look for the neck, nerve, and metabolic drivers. See our migraine evaluation in Beverly Hills.
Occipital nerve pain
Shooting or burning pain at the base of the skull. An irritated occipital nerve can be freed with ultrasound-guided Hydrofascia Release™.8
Loose or unstable neck
Clicking, a heavy head, or a neck that “slips,” often in hypermobile patients. Ligament support with dextrose prolotherapy may help.
Face & jaw pain
Aching in the jaw, temples, or facial muscles, including tightness after facial procedures.
Pain after platysmaplasty or neck lift
Pulling, cording, banding, or pain in the neck months after surgery. Ultrasound shows whether scar or fascia is tethering the tissue. We coordinate with your surgeon.
Region 2

Upper back, shoulder blades & ribs

Trap pain
The upper-trapezius knot between the neck and shoulder that never lets go, no matter how often it’s massaged.
Shoulder-blade (scapular) pain
Burning or aching along or under the shoulder blade, where several muscle layers and their fascia overlap.
Upper back pain
Mid-back pain from desk work, training, or a curve in the spine.
Costochondritis
Chest-wall pain where the ribs meet the breastbone. Any new chest pain needs a heart and lung check first. Once those are cleared, we look at the rib joints and the surrounding fascia.
Rib pain
Pain along a rib, front or back, that’s worse with breathing, twisting, or lying on that side.
Ribs that slip or “go out”
Lower ribs that click, pop, or feel like they move out of place, sometimes called slipping rib syndrome. Dynamic ultrasound can show the rib moving as it happens.9 This is common in hypermobile patients.
Scoliosis-related pain
We don’t straighten curves. We treat the overloaded muscle and fascia on either side of the curve that cause the pain.
Region 3

Shoulder & upper arm

Shoulder impingement
Pain lifting the arm overhead or reaching behind you. We check the rotator cuff, the bursa, and the fascia of the shoulder blade muscles.
Frozen shoulder
A shoulder that stiffens and loses motion in every direction. We treat it with ultrasound-guided procedures plus a home program. Recovery usually takes months, and even the best-studied injection options give modest results.10
Rotator cuff pain
Tendon irritation and partial tears that haven’t healed. Options include ProloBoost Dual PRP, prolotherapy, and shockwave.
Shoulder bursitis
A painful, swollen bursa on top of the shoulder that keeps flaring.
Shoulder muscle pain
Deltoid, infraspinatus, and other shoulder muscles with knots or old strains that never fully settled.
Biceps & triceps pain
Tendon or muscle pain at the front or back of the upper arm, common in lifters, climbers, and throwers.
Region 4

Elbow, wrist & hand

Elbow pain
Persistent pain at the elbow from sport, work, or an old injury.
Tennis elbow
Pain on the outside of the elbow when gripping. Dextrose prolotherapy has randomized-trial support here.11
Golfer’s elbow
The same problem on the inside of the elbow, where the forearm flexors attach.
Ulnar neuropathy
Numbness or tingling into the ring and little fingers, often from the nerve getting stuck at the elbow. Dr. Courseault has published on releasing an ulnar nerve adhesion in a pitcher.12
Median neuropathy (carpal tunnel)
Numbness into the thumb and first fingers. Ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection outperformed a saline injection in a randomized trial.13
Wrist pain
Wrist tendon, ligament, or joint pain that limits weight-bearing, typing, or lifting.
Thumb pain
Pain at the base of the thumb or along the thumb-side tendons (De Quervain’s).
Hand pain
Aching, stiff, or weak hands, including in hypermobile patients whose finger joints overwork.
Region 5

Abdominal wall, pelvis & tailbone

Abdominal wall pain
Pain in the muscles and fascia of the belly wall, not the organs underneath. It is often misread as an internal problem.14
ACNES
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome: a small nerve pinched where it passes through the abdominal muscle. It causes one sharp, fingertip-sized spot of pain that gets worse when you tense your abs.14
Pelvic floor pain & dysfunction
We evaluate and treat the muscles, fascia, and nerves around the pelvis that feed into pelvic pain, and we coordinate with your pelvic floor therapist or gynecologist.
Tailbone (coccyx) pain
Pain at the tailbone with sitting or standing up, after a fall, childbirth, or for no clear reason.
Region 6

Low back, buttock & hip

Low back pain
The thoracolumbar fascia is a recognized pain source in its own right.15 See our non-surgical low back pain treatment.
SI joint pain
Pain just beside the tailbone, often one-sided and worse with stairs or rolling over in bed.16 Prolotherapy has been compared head-to-head with steroid injection for this joint.17
Gluteal (buttock) pain
Deep buttock pain, including irritated cluneal nerves18 and a sciatic nerve trapped deep in the buttock.
Hip flexor (iliopsoas) pain
Deep front-of-hip or groin pain when lifting the knee, sprinting, or kicking.
Hip arthritis
Stiffness and groin pain from a wearing hip joint. We work on the joint and the tissue around it, and we’ll tell you honestly when it’s time to see a surgeon.
Trochanteric bursitis & gluteal tendinitis
Pain on the outside of the hip, worse lying on that side. Shockwave has systematic-review support here.19
Sit-bone (ischial tuberosity) pain
Pain where you sit, at the top of the hamstring.
TFL pain
Pain at the front-outside of the hip, from the small muscle that feeds the IT band.
Region 7

Thigh & knee

Hamstring strains & reinjury
Dr. Courseault published the first description of fascial hydrodissection for chronic hamstring injury,20 and an independent team has since reported similar results.21 See hamstring injury treatment in Los Angeles.
IT band pain
Pain on the outside of the knee or thigh in runners and cyclists that keeps coming back.
Kneecap (patellofemoral) pain
Pain around or behind the kneecap with stairs, squats, or sitting with bent knees.
Pes anserine pain
Pain on the inside of the knee, just below the joint line, where three tendons attach.
Meniscus pain
Ongoing pain from a meniscus tear, including tears that weren’t worth an operation and knees still sore after one.
Knee arthritis
Dextrose prolotherapy has meta-analysis support for knee arthritis pain and function.22
Region 8

Lower leg, ankle & foot

Calf pain & cramps
Recurring calf tightness, cramping, or pain, including calf pain with normal imaging.23
Leg pain labeled “restless legs”
True restless legs syndrome is a neurological condition managed with your physician. Some leg pain labeled as restless legs is actually a fascial adhesion. Read our calf pain case report.
Compartment syndrome (exertional)
Leg pain and tightness that builds during exercise and fades with rest. Dr. Courseault has presented a case resolved with hydrodissection and prolotherapy.24
Achilles pain
Pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon, at the heel or a few inches above it.19
Ankle sprains & instability
Ankles that keep rolling, and sprains that never fully healed. In a one-year randomized trial, dextrose prolotherapy improved balance and reduced repeat sprains.25
Plantar fasciitis
Sharp heel pain with your first steps in the morning. See plantar fasciitis treatment in Los Angeles.26
Arch & sole pain
Pain along the bottom of the foot that isn’t classic heel pain.
Midfoot pain
Pain across the top or middle of the foot.
Foot tendon pain
Posterior tibial, peroneal, and other foot and ankle tendons that ache or keep flaring.
Peroneal neuropathy
Numbness or weakness on the outside of the shin and top of the foot. A new foot drop needs prompt evaluation.
Sural neuropathy
Burning or numbness along the outside of the ankle and foot.
Region 9

Whole body & connective tissue

Hypermobility, hEDS & HSD
Loose joints, pain in many places, and injuries that don’t add up. Exercise and strengthening are the foundation of care.27 See our 5-step hypermobility & EDS protocol.
Dysautonomia & POTS
Racing heart, dizziness, or fainting on standing, which often travel with hypermobility.28 We screen for these during the hypermobility evaluation and coordinate with your cardiology or autonomic specialist.
Mast cell activation
Flushing, hives, and reactions that seem to come out of nowhere. These are reported alongside hEDS and POTS, though how they connect is still debated.28 We screen for it and work with your allergist.
Lipedema
Painful, disproportionate fat in the legs or arms. In one survey, 44% of women with lipedema reported hypermobility.29 We evaluate the pain and the connective-tissue picture and work alongside your lipedema specialists.
Long COVID
Lingering pain, fatigue, and stiffness after COVID. See our Long COVID evaluation.30
Pain everywhere, scans normal
Body-wide pain with normal imaging is exactly what a full-body Fascial Map is built for. Read why patients get one.
Chronic muscle & myofascial pain
Knots and trigger points that keep returning.31 See muscle pain that won’t heal.
Sprains & strains, anywhere
Ligament sprains and muscle strains that are taking longer than they should, from weekend athletes to professionals. See how we helped a pro boxer come out of retirement.
Region 10

Scars & after surgery

Painful scars
C-section, abdominal, joint, and spine surgery scars that pull, burn, or feel stuck.32,33 See scar care in Beverly Hills.
Plastic surgery scar pain
Tightness, pulling, or pain after a tummy tuck, breast surgery, facelift, liposuction, or neck lift. Ultrasound shows where the tissue is tethered.
Dermatology & Mohs scars
Scars after skin cancer surgery that stay tight or tender.
Stiffness after surgery
Joints or tissue that never moved right again after an operation, even with physical therapy done.
How It Works

Same approach, whatever hurts

Step 1

Map it

A physician-performed ultrasound exam of the painful area, or a full-body Fascial Map if the pain is widespread. Fascial Mapping is optional, not a requirement for treatment. Labs and FIT GPS genomic screening are added when metabolism or healing may be part of the problem.

Step 2

Treat it

Treatment is matched to the tissue we find: Hydrofascia Release™ for stuck fascia and nerves, prolotherapy or PRP for weak ligaments and tendons, and shockwave or TECAR for tissue that needs a push to heal.

Step 3

Keep it

Monthly in-person visits during Dr. Courseault’s Beverly Hills weeks, with PEMF and red light therapy available between visits, and strength work to keep the problem from coming back.

Don’t See Yours?

This list isn’t everything

If you have pain in muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia, or a nerve that hasn’t been explained or hasn’t gotten better, we want to hear about it, even if it isn’t on this page. Call (424) 378-3488 or send us a message describing what’s going on.

If it isn’t something we treat, we’ll say so and point you to the right specialist.

Insurance & Reimbursement

Have out-of-network benefits? You may get money back.

FIT LA is an out-of-network practice. Many PPO plans still reimburse part of the cost of out-of-network care, but the claim forms put a lot of people off.

So we pay for Reimbursify, a service that submits your visits to your insurance company for reimbursement. You don’t have to fill out the claim forms yourself.

How much you get back depends on your plan, your deductible, and your out-of-network benefits; some plans pay nothing out of network, and reimbursement is never guaranteed. Call the number on your insurance card and ask about out-of-network benefits before your visit. See how out-of-network reimbursement works and our pricing.

An Important Boundary

Go to urgent care or the ER first if you have:

  • Chest pain, pressure, or shortness of breath, even if you think it’s “just a rib”
  • Sudden, severe, or worsening belly pain, or belly pain with fever or vomiting
  • New weakness, a foot that drops, or loss of bowel or bladder control
  • Fever with back or joint pain, or a joint that is hot, red, and swollen
  • Pain after a major fall or accident, or a concussion with worsening headache, repeated vomiting, or confusion

We treat soft-tissue pain. Fractures, infections, emergencies, and conditions that need surgery belong elsewhere first.

Frequently asked questions

What does a fascia doctor treat?

Pain that comes from soft tissue: fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, and the nerves that run through them. That covers neck and back pain, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and foot problems, nerve entrapments, painful scars, and the widespread pain that often comes with hypermobility. At FIT LA, the physician is Dr. Jacques Courseault, who is board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Do I need a diagnosis or a referral to book?

No. Many patients come to us precisely because they don’t have a clear diagnosis yet. Bring any imaging, reports, and a list of what you’ve already tried.

My MRI or X-ray was normal. Can you still help?

Often, yes. Standard scans are good at showing bone, discs, and large tears, but they are taken while you lie still. Ultrasound lets us watch fascia, tendons, and nerves move, and changes in the fascia have been measured this way in people with chronic pain.2

Do I need a full-body Fascial Map first?

No. A Fascial Map is optional. It’s most useful when pain is in many places or you’re an athlete with years of accumulated load. If you have one problem area, we can start there.

Do you only treat athletes?

No. We treat professional and college athletes, but most of our patients are people whose pain is affecting work, sleep, or daily life, including many hypermobile patients, surgical patients, and first responders.

My condition isn’t on this list. Should I still contact you?

Yes. Call (424) 378-3488 or message us. If it isn’t something we treat, we’ll tell you and suggest who to see.

Do you take insurance?

We are an out-of-network practice, and our pricing is published. If your plan has out-of-network benefits (common with PPO plans), you may be able to get part of your visit cost reimbursed. We pay for Reimbursify, a claims service that submits your visits to your insurance company for reimbursement, so you don’t have to file the paperwork yourself. How much comes back depends entirely on your plan and deductible, and some plans pay nothing out of network, so call your insurer to check your out-of-network benefits before your visit.

Can I come from outside Los Angeles?

Yes. Patients travel to Beverly Hills from around the country, and The Fascia Institute also has a flagship clinic in New Orleans.
