Physical Therapy
There are many different causes of acute and chronic pain. Whether it be the result of a medical condition, injury or trauma, or just overuse, persistent pain can make it very difficult to perform even the most basic daily tasks. One of the first remedies often prescribed for pain is physical therapy. It is a conservative and entirely non-invasive way to treat many types of pain.
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a pain management technique that involves performing low-impact exercises, stretches, and specific movements to increase strength and improve mobility throughout the body.
This enhanced strength and overall functionality allows your body to cope with physical stressors more effectively and can result in pain relief, especially when paired with other services. Physical Therapy is unique in that it can be completed in-office or virtually.
How Can Physical Therapy Help Me?
A practitioner of physical therapy is called a physical therapist. Physical therapists are highly trained professionals. They require a master’s degree and must be licensed by the state before they can see patients.
A physical therapist assesses your overall health and wellness, and then prescribes a custom regimen of physical therapy activities to treat your specific condition. Physical therapy includes a wide variety of exercises and activities, which allows treatment to be very individualized for each patient. In some cases, an appropriate physical therapy plan can remedy pain issues.
