Physical Therapy May Include Different Techniques
Many people are thinking about trying physical therapy, but they might not have any idea what therapy entails. You can expect your therapy session to involve:
- Manual adjustment
- Corrective exercise
- Stretching
- Neurological Testing
- Traction therapy
- Strength conditioning
The type of therapeutic treatment plan we create for you will depend on the type of injury you experienced and the severity of your symptoms. We will continually adjust your plan to ensure you receive the care you need for a full recovery.
Your First Physical Therapy Appointment
Your first appointment with a physical therapist requires very little equipment. You will need to wear clothes that are loose and allow you to move freely. You also need to bring any images from your doctor, including x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs.
Conditions Treated in Physical Therapy
Are you unsure if your conditions can be treated through physical therapy? Therapists treat a variety of health issues, including cardiac issues and chronic pain. Chronic pain is one of the most common problems why people come to therapy. This includes pain caused by spinal dysfunction, including neck pain and back pain.
Physical therapists also treat sports injuries with the goal of helping you return to your sport quickly. The same applies to overuse injuries like strains and sprains. Additionally, we can help you with pre- and post-operative orthopedic care. For instance, if you recently saw an orthopedic surgeon for ligament or tendon repair, we can help you throughout your recovery. Therapy can also address gait dysfunctions, including balance loss. Therapy also helps you deal with symptoms of vertigo, including dizziness and nausea.
