Join a highly collaborative Merrillville team working alongside orthopedic physicians in a 100% orthopedic, post-operative environment with a strong focus on the upper extremity—including hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders.

You’ll have the opportunity to build advanced skills in custom splinting, bracing, post-op rehabilitation, work conditioning, and functional return-to-work programs while treating a diverse patient population.

If you thrive on clinical variety, physician collaboration, and helping patients get back to the activities and careers they love, this is a clinic where your expertise can truly stand out.

At Confluent Health and our family of affiliated brands, physical therapists practice in an environment built for high quality care, professional growth, and sustainable careers. We support clinicians with innovative tools, strong mentorship, and clear development pathways.
