Physical Therapy
Whether you've sought surgical or nonsurgical treatment for your orthopedic condition, physical therapy often plays a crucial role in your recovery journey. Physical therapy is a rehabilitative approach aimed at efficiently restoring strength, mobility, and alleviating pain following an injury. It can also potentially reduce the necessity for surgical intervention or prescription medications.
At our facility, our team of experienced, licensed, and credentialed physical therapists and physical therapy assistants collaborates closely with each patient to create a personalized recovery plan tailored to their unique requirements.
Some common indications for physical therapy include:
- Joint pain (hip, knee, or shoulder)
- Knee injuries
- Lower back pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Pinched nerve
- Rotator cuff tears
- Shoulder impingement
- Sprains and strains
- Tendonitis
- Post-operative rehabilitation
Physical therapy encompasses a wide array of techniques and treatments designed to facilitate your recovery. Our approach may incorporate various modalities, including the following:
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach that encompasses various techniques to improve joint function and flexibility. Joint mobilization involves gentle movements and manipulation of the affected joint to reduce stiffness and increase its range of motion.
Massage therapy targets muscle tension and promotes relaxation, while guided stretching exercises help improve flexibility and reduce muscle tightness. These manual therapy techniques are valuable components of physical therapy, aiding in pain relief, enhancing joint mobility, and restoring overall musculoskeletal function. Our experienced therapists employ these methods to provide personalized care, helping patients achieve their rehabilitation goals.
Thermal therapies, including hot and cold therapy, are integral components of our physical therapy approach. Heat therapy involves the application of warmth to the affected area, which can help relax muscles, improve circulation, and alleviate pain and stiffness. On the other hand, cold therapy, such as ice packs or cold compresses, is effective in reducing inflammation, swelling, and discomfort by constricting blood vessels. These thermal therapies are carefully administered by our skilled therapists to ensure their safe and efficient use in managing your specific condition and promoting your rehabilitation progress.
Our physical therapy sessions incorporate various therapeutic modalities to expedite your recovery. Ultrasound therapy employs high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep tissues, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. Electrical muscle stimulation, on the other hand, uses controlled electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, aiding in muscle strengthening and pain relief.
These modalities are skillfully employed by our therapists as part of your personalized rehabilitation plan, enhancing the effectiveness of your treatment and helping you regain optimal function and comfort.
Our dedicated team is committed to providing top-tier rehabilitative care. Close collaboration between our therapists and physicians ensures that your therapy plan aligns with your specific objectives, facilitating a successful recovery.
