What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a technique that focuses on restoring proper movement and function to the body. Your provider assesses your movement, determining where the issues lie. A customized treatment plan can then be developed for your needs.
While everyone’s treatment will look different, physical therapy typically includes the use of exercises and various soft tissue techniques. The treatment is beneficial for preventative care, injury rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment for chronic cases of pain and various conditions.
In most cases, physical therapy will only play one part in your healing. It’s typically combined with other methods to achieve optimal relief.
Benefits of Combining Physical Therapy With Other Treatment Techniques
When you’re facing musculoskeletal pain or restrictions, it’s integral to address both the soft and hard tissues of the body. Physical therapy focuses on the soft tissues. It’s often combined with spinal adjustments and manipulation, which focus on the hard tissues.
By addressing the soft tissues, physical therapy relieves strain on the hard tissues. By addressing the hard tissues, spinal adjustments relieve strain and tension on the soft tissues. Together, they can treat issues such as:
- Chronic pain
- Work injuries, such as slips and falls
- Auto injuries, such as whiplash
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Headaches
- Sprains and strains
- Herniated discs
- Nerve compression and damage
- Posture issues and more
As these techniques address the source of the pain as opposed to just the symptoms, they provide lasting pain relief. They also help prevent injuries in the future – all of which is accomplished through natural methods of relief.
