Physical therapists focus on indentifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of promotion, prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation and rehabilitation. Each patient receives a customized treatment plan based on their diagnosis, laboratory and imaging studies. Physical therapy may include the use of electrical stimulation of the nerves and/or muscles, ultrasound, traction, hotpacks, coldpacks, whirlpools, intermittent compression pumps, and myofascial release, along with massage therapy and joint mobilization exercise.

The goal of physical therapy is to relieve pain, avoid contractures, prevent disabilities, help restore maximum physical movement, function and balance. It involves commitment and effort on the part of the patient. On average, therapy typically lasts 4-6 weeks. Patients who follow their therapist’s recommendations receive the most benefit from their rehab program. Clinical studies have shown maximum recovery within a reduced amount of time in patients who combine physical therapy with chiropractic adjustments.
