Some pain and injuries heal on their own with just a little attention, medication, and patience. But others require more. Physical rehabilitation can help you lessen or completely erase the pain, prevent further or repeated injury, and potentially avoid the need for surgery.
Physical rehabilitation at North Texas Clinic and Rehab includes physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic treatment, and sports medicine.
In case you didn’t know, you don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from sports medicine.
If you lead an active lifestyle or have a physically demanding job, you’re prone to the same types of injuries professional athletes deal with.
What Injuries Does Physical Rehabilitation Treat?
Any kind of physical activity can cause strain and injury to your body. The risk of injury increases even more if it involves repeated movements, which most sports and many jobs and hobbies do.
Some types of injuries that require some level of physical therapy and rehab are:
- Carpal tunnel
- Tendonitis
- Sprains and minor fractures
- Cartilage and joint injuries in areas such as knees, elbows, and shoulders
- Old injuries that still cause pain
- Surgery recovery
Any musculoskeletal injury that is holding you back or causing you pain may require some kind of rehab.
How Does It Work?
At our clinic, physical rehab utilizes different techniques to help you recover from pain and injury.
Some of these techniques include:
- Massage therapy
- Chiropractic adjustment
- Active or passive stretching
- Strength training exercises
- Immobilization or compression (such as wraps or braces)
- Medication (pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, etc.)
- Hot or cold treatment
In addition to direct treatment, our caregivers work to educate you on how to continue treating and strengthening at home and how to prevent further injuries.
We can instruct you on what exercises and stretches you should perform to strengthen your muscles and joints for the activities you enjoy. And we will support you on your recovery journey.
Musculoskeletal rehabilitation can take time. But with consistent treatment, patience, and education, we can help make sure you’re able to do the things you love without pain or repeated injury.
What If Physical Rehabilitation and Medicine Doesn’t Help
While primary care is usually the first line of treatment for any non-emergency injury, sometimes it’s still not enough.
If your injury is too advanced or has been left untreated for too long, surgery might be the only answer.
We can evaluate and diagnose your situation. Once we’ve established that our treatment wouldn’t be enough, we have close relationships with multiple specialist surgeons that we will happily refer you to.
Our goal is always to avoid surgery when we can. Sometimes, that requires a little more patience and hard work. But if our treatment can’t move you towards a pain-free life, surgery would be the next step.
