What Conditions Can Be Treated With Physical Therapy?

If you're trying to manage pain, are recovering from an injury or surgery, or would like to do everything you can to avoid them, physical therapy may be exactly what you need. To learn about all the different conditions that can be helped by physical therapy look no further than your Battle Creek, and Lake Odessa, MI, professionals Mohinder Chawdhry PT, and Kristy Penick MSPT, of the Total Health Center.

Pain

Your physical therapist can help you manage many types of common and chronic pain. From shoulder and arm pain, back and neck, and leg and foot. The application of physical and occupational therapy can help reduce discomfort and may help you avoid the need for opioids.

Injury

While rest is the initial recommendation immediately after an injury, exercise is a very important step toward recovery. Physical therapy under the guidance of a professional can provide the exercise your body needs in a safe environment. One of the goals of physical therapy is to strengthen your joints, something crucial to prevent re-injury.

Surgery

Similarly, after surgery, you may typically be advised to undergo physical therapy to aid in your recovery. Just as with an injury, it's important to regain strength and mobility through exercise. But depending on your condition, it is sometimes possible to prevent surgery altogether.
