How Can Physical Therapy Help You?

During your physical therapy session, we will evaluate and treat your condition based on your specific injury or condition, symptoms, and recovery goals. There are all kinds of ways that physical therapy can help you, whether you are treating a sports-related injury, chronic condition, medical event, or developmental condition.

Pain Management: Many physical therapy patients report reduced pain after undergoing their physical therapy regimen. This is obviously the most immediate concern for many patients and one of the most important goals for any care plan.
Avoiding Surgery: For many patients, especially those who have suffered an injury, going to physical therapy can help reduce or even eliminate the need for surgical intervention.
Improved Mobility: If your range of motion has been reduced because of an injury or accident, going to physical therapy can put you on the path to recovery. We might assign you regular stretches or exercises to do at home to help your body continue to improve.
Improved Balance: Some conditions or injuries can interfere with your balance and increase your fall risk. Physical therapy seeks to reduce those risks and help you regain your sense of balance.
Managing Your Condition: In the event of age-related medical issues, a physical therapy routine can help you learn to manage and control your symptoms.

Four Signs You Need Physical Therapy

Reoccurring pain – Experiencing recurring back pain, knee pain, ankle pain, or leg pain could be an indication that you need physical therapy. It is not normal to be experiencing pain daily.
Lingering pain – If you ever experience pain that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how much time passes, then you should schedule a physical therapy session. Our professional sports medicine doctors can help you get chronic pain relief through movement and if necessary, rehabilitation medicine.
Pain medication is not working – An indication of a deeper issue is if over-the-counter pain medication is not doing anything. There could be several reasons for this including a pinched nerve, compression fracture, or a fractured bone. Give Abilene Sports Medicine and Orthopedics a call if you are struggling to get relief from pain. Our sports medicine doctors are happy to help you find relief through physical therapy and in some cases prescribe special medication for pain.
Changes in your body’s appearance or performance – Noticeable changes in your body whether they are changes in appearance or performance need to be addressed by a medical professional. Depending on the severity of your injury, you may need physical therapy. It is better to play it safe and schedule an appointment with a physical therapist than it is to just brush it off and risk making the injury worse.
