Orthopedic Physical Therapy

Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on preventing, identifying, assessing, minimizing, and correcting a pain or disability that is a result of a musculoskeletal impairment. This would include acute or prolonged impairments, as well as surgical and non surgical conditions.

Promoting optimal tissue regeneration and function is the main objective of this type of treatment.

A licensed orthopedic physical therapist will use various types of treatments to help reduce the amount of pain you feel, and correct any movement impairments that are due to an orthopedic disorder.

Some of the most commonly used treatments for orthopedic disorders include aquatic therapy, manual physical therapy, ergonomic intervention, therapeutic exercise, and education.

Who Will Benefit From Orthopedic Physical Therapy?

Truth be told, most people can benefit from orthopedic physical therapy. However, to be a little more specific, if you suffer from low back pain, neck pain, hip and knee osteoarthritis, muscle strains, general arthritic complaints, shoulder pain, muscle-tension headaches, or joint sprains, you will benefit from orthopedic physical therapy.

When it boils down to it, any condition that causes you pain, or limits your functional mobility due to an injury, can benefit from orthopedic physical therapy.

In addition, utilizing post surgical rehabilitation is an important part of your overall recovery if you have recently had surgery for things such as total hip and knee replacement, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, shoulder decompression, or a variety of spinal issues.
