Find out if these rehabilitation therapies could get you on the road to recovery.

Has a long-term or serious health problem suddenly made it more difficult to complete tasks around your home? Are you dealing with a sports-related injury or injuries from an accident? If you said yes, then our Battle Creek, MI, osteopractor Dr. Glennda Chawdhry can help you. Discover the differences and unique benefits of getting physical therapy and occupational therapy through our office.

What is an osteopractor?

Before you understand the services we offer it’s important to understand the purpose of an osteopractor. An osteopractor is a doctor that focuses on how the body functions as a whole, from the joints and muscles to the ligaments, tissues and nerves within the musculoskeletal system.

We believe that by providing alternative medicine and specific therapies such as manual adjustments (spinal manipulation) we can improve not just how the musculoskeletal system functions but also how other systems (e.g. circulatory; nervous) function, as well. Everything is interconnected when it comes to the body, so your care and treatment should be comprehensive enough to take all of these systems into account.

What is physical and occupational therapy?

It’s important to understand that there is a difference between these two therapies. Physical therapy is focused on rehabilitation to improve and even treat an injury or condition while occupational therapy is focused on providing ways to make daily tasks and activities easier despite a chronic injury or lifelong condition that can’t be cured.

While physical therapy is often more short-term and focused on treating the actual injury itself, occupational therapy can be used for many years to help people manage their long-term symptoms through customized treatment options and interventions to make day-to-day living easier. Occupational therapy can help those with conditions and disabilities that affect emotional and behavior states as well as motor skills.
