About

​​​​​​Alex Minten PT, DPT is a doctor of physical therapy in northeast Wisconsin. He has spent the entirety of his 12+ years as a PT working in private practice which has solidified his belief in the importance of developing strong relationships with his patients and providing high quality, one-on-one care. Over the course of his career he has specialized in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMJ/TMD), neck pain, headaches, postural dysfunction, and other associated conditions. The temporomandibular joint is the most used joint in the body, moving thousands of times per day, and has a direct relationship with the neck and a person's posture. Dysfunction in this area can have a hugely negative impact on a person's quality of life and limit their ability to eat, talk, breathe, sleep, focus, and function in daily and work activities. Dr. Alex enjoys works with patients of all ages to help them obtain the best quality care and return to the life that they want to live. 

Dr. Alex offers personalized care throughout northeast Wisconsin and aims to make high quality care accessible to all who need it. Please contact Dr. Alex via phone or text message to set up a free consultation call or to schedule your evaluation.
