Orthopaedic Institute, LLC

Orthopaedic Institute, LLC is an orthopedic practice in Munster, Indiana, that also runs a physical therapy department in the same building. The practice was founded in 2007 by Dr. Jeffrey Tioco, and the office includes a podiatrist, Dr. Michael D. Dichoso, who joined in 2012. The physical therapy work focuses on exercises that strengthen muscles, ease pain, improve range of motion and build endurance, with equipment for the upper and lower extremities, spine, balance and stretching.

Visits can be booked by phone, and telehealth appointments by video are also offered. Because the physical therapy room is in the same building as the exam rooms, doctors can check on a patient's progress during therapy. New patients are asked to bring completed intake forms to cut down on wait time. The office is at 9132 Columbia Avenue in Munster, and a second location in St. John is also mentioned.
