Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a broad term that covers a wide range of exercises and treatments used to address a number of health concerns. Physical therapy is essentially care and treatment that will help you to manage pain, adapt to changes resulting from illness or injury, and help you to improve mobility and general quality of life.

Physical Therapy and How It Can Help

One example of this type of care is exercised to recover from muscle loss. Following a serious injury, you may have had your arm or leg in a cast for months, or you may have even been bedridden for an extended period of time. This results in muscle loss. After such an event simply hitting the gym can result in further injury. It's a good idea to work with a physical therapist to help you recover your lost muscle without creating further injury.

Chiropractic care can be used in conjunction with physical therapy, essentially starting at the foundation (the musculoskeletal system) for a top-to-bottom approach to addressing pain and immobility.

Why Call a Chiropractor?

In some instances, a chiropractor might need only to provide a simple adjustment. In others, they may offer a much more intensive approach to helping you to manage pain or improve mobility. Ensuring a properly functioning musculoskeletal system is critical to managing muscular and nerve pain and overcoming a limited range of movement, and chiropractors who offer physical therapy are able to prescribe exercises and self-care based on their intimate knowledge of the body's skeleton, muscles, and nervous system. If your health concerns related to the musculoskeletal system, a chiropractor is likely to be the best doctor for you.
