Our
History
Clinical Therapeutics, Inc. (CTI) was founded in 1981 by
C. Raymond Schaney and David R. Lord, in an effort to provide
a quality service to the community in a timely fashion for
a reasonable cost. Two offices were opened, one in Erie
and one in Franklin, PA. Currently, there are offices in
Erie and Warren, Pennsylvania with consultative services
in Franklin, Pittsburgh and the tri-state area. The CTI
family includes a terrific support staff at both locations
and our professional staff has grown to eight physical therapists
and two physical therapist assistants. While many physical
therapist-owned practices have sold to large corporate entities,
CTI remains under the ownership of local physical therapists,
whose reputation and livelihood rely on providing services
that exceed the needs and expectations of our clients!
