What Benefits From Injury Recovery With Physical Therapy?
Our physical therapists utilize a variety of techniques, including injury rehabilitation exercises, to help patients recover from a wide range of injuries.
Common injuries we treat in our clinic include:
Accidental Injuries
- Car accidents, falls, and other incidents can lead to fractures, sprains, strains, and soft tissue damage.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
- Physical therapy after orthopedic procedures, such as joint replacements, ligament repairs, and spinal surgery, can help improve the recovery process.
Chronic Pain Conditions
- Physical therapy techniques offer relief for injuries that become chronic conditions like persistent back and neck pain.
Personalized Injury Recovery
A man whose job required him to be on his feet all day came to our physical therapy clinic with severe lower back pain and restricted movement. He explained that the injury occurred while lifting a heavy box at work. The sudden, twisting motion caused a sharp, debilitating pain that had worsened over the past several days.
Our thorough examination revealed muscle spasms, limited range of motion in his lumbar spine, and tenderness to the touch. Based on his symptoms and the cause of his injury, we suspected a lumbar disc herniation. This type of injury occurs when the soft inner core of an intervertebral disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer, often compressing a nearby nerve root and causing pain and dysfunction in the back and legs.
We developed a comprehensive physical therapy program aimed at reducing pain, restoring spinal mobility, and preventing further injury.
Manual Therapy
- Hands-on techniques that help to alleviate pain, decrease muscle tension, and improve joint mobility.
Injury Rehabilitation Exercises
- A graduated exercise program focused on improving spinal range of motion and core stabilization (i.e., strengthening back and abdominal muscles).
Education and Posture Correction
- We provided her with detailed instructions on proper lifting techniques, ergonomic modifications for her workplace, and strategies for managing pain flare-ups.
We continually monitored his progress and adjusted exercise and manual therapy techniques as he improved. He was diligent with his prescribed exercise program in between sessions, which helped accelerate his progress. His pain steadily decreased, and he regained strength and mobility.
