Do I Need Physical Therapy?
How to Determine If You Need Physical Therapy
Most patients typically think they need physical therapy in order to help them recover. However, many do not know that they can still receive the benefits of physical therapy even without an injury. Learn how physical therapy can help you prevent or treat an injury — and if you’re a candidate for this treatment option.
Most Common Reasons to Seek Physical Therapy
Physical therapy focuses on relieving pain, restoring function as well as movement in your joints. It’s also promotes healing and focuses on the overall wellness of your muscles and joints. No matter your age, you may be a candidate for physical therapy if you experience any of these ailments:
- Problems with balance or mobility.
- Arthritis.
- Neck and lower back pain.
- Neuro-rehabilitation due to a stroke, head, or spinal cord injury.
- A sports injury.
- Shoulder, arm, or wrist pain.
