Joy Davala, PT, DPT, provides outpatient physical therapy for patients of all ages with nonsurgical and postoperative orthopedic conditions at TidalHealth Peninsula Orthopaedic Institute Physical Therapy. She specializes in treating conditions affecting the spine.

Her goal is to help patients improve their quality of life while ensuring they feel informed, respected, heard and supported throughout their rehabilitation journey.
