Physical Therapy for Pain Management


 
Business News,Fitness,Health
Physical therapy can help strengthen muscles, alleviate pain, and increase mobility for an improved quality of life.

Individuals suffering from acute and chronic pain can benefit from physical therapy. The treatment involves rehabilitative techniques to strengthen the muscles, improve flexibility and reduce pain without the need for surgery or long-term medication.

In a multi-specialty healthcare center, the physical therapist works as part of a multi-disciplinary team to evaluate and treat the pain patient. The goal is to help the patient return to a productive and rewarding life by addressing both the pain symptoms and behavior. Patients are educated on the principles of stretching and strengthening muscles and maintaining proper posture. Physical therapy services also focus on accelerating the stages of healing, preventing future occurrences, and managing exacerbations.

Passive and Active Physical Therapy Programs

A professional physical therapy program would feature passive and active modalities. Passive techniques include the following

  • Massage and Myofascial Release
  • Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
  • Ice or heat packs to relieve muscle spasm and inflammation
  • Ultrasound to treat soft tissue injuries
  • Traction
  • Injury prevention education

TENS involves painless electrical stimulation using a special transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator which targets specific nerves and relieves pain. Ultrasound works through sound waves that penetrate the body’s soft tissues, reduces pain and promote healing.

Active physical therapy involves exercises designed to stretch the back and other areas, and strengthen the muscles. Low-impact aerobic conditioning may also be prescribed. These exercises can improve the long-term health of the spine. Injury prevention education is an essential component of every physical therapy program.

Benefits of Treatment

An effective physical therapy program can help reduce pain, increase flexibility, mobilize and strengthen the muscles, and enhance functionality. Shoulder physical therapy can ease pain, uneasiness, and stiffness arising from conditions such as shoulder arthritis, shoulder bursitis, and frozen shoulder. Physical therapy after knee surgery can strengthen the knee joint, reduce stiffness, restore range of motion and protect the knee from further injury.

Physical therapy owes its popularity to the following:

  • Conservative and noninvasive treatment
  • Can help avoid surgery
  • Addresses the root cause of the problem
  • Can restore optimal functionality

Custom Physical Therapy Programs at Established Health Care Centers

Patients can benefit from customized programs at an established healthcare center. Medical history and physical conditions are first evaluated to understand symptoms. Modalities such as X-rays, computerized tomography (CT scans), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to diagnose and analyze the extent of the problem. The physical therapist then develops an individualized rehabilitation program developed in conjunction with other specialists at the healthcare center to help the patient achieve a healthy, pain-free and more active lifestyle.

HealthQuest is an established physical therapy and pain management center based in Brooklyn, New York City, offering personalized and result-oriented physical therapy services. With a team of highly qualified and licensed physical therapists and physical therapy assistants, we offer comprehensive care to improve your health and restore your active life.
