What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a rehabilitative service designed to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve physical function. At our orthopedic clinic, our licensed physical therapists work closely with surgeons and physicians to deliver personalized recovery plans for post-surgical care, injury rehabilitation, and chronic pain management.
PT is beneficial for patients dealing with everything from sports injuries and arthritis to post-operative stiffness and joint degeneration.
What are the Benefits of Physical Therapy?
- Accelerated Recovery: Get back to work, play, and daily activities faster.
- Pain Reduction: Hands-on therapy and targeted exercises relieve pain without medication.
- Improved Mobility and Strength: Especially crucial after surgery or injury.
- Prevention of Future Injuries: PT can correct movement patterns and strengthen weak areas.
- Surgical Alternative: For some conditions, PT may delay or prevent the need for surgery altogether.
Do I Need a Referral for Physical Therapy?
Referral requirements vary by state and insurance plan. In many cases, a referral from your orthopedic doctor is necessary, especially if you plan to use insurance. Our staff can verify your benefits and guide you through the referral process if needed.
