Conditions We Treat With Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can address a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, improving mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing function.

Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

• Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: We help patients regain strength, mobility, and function after surgeries such as joint replacements, spinal procedures, or ligament repairs.
• Sports Injuries: From sprains and strains to overuse injuries, we specialize in getting athletes back to their best performance safely and quickly.
• Chronic Pain: Conditions like arthritis, lower back pain, and fibromyalgia can be effectively managed with targeted physical therapy techniques.
• Neurological Conditions: For patients with conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease, physical therapy helps improve mobility and independence.
• Injury Prevention: We identify weaknesses or imbalances to reduce the risk of future injuries and promote long-term joint health.
• Workplace Injuries: If you’re recovering from a work-related injury, our team focuses on restoring function and facilitating a safe return to work.

What to Expect During Your P/T session

When you begin your physical therapy at Burghealth Physical Medicine, we’ll start with a thorough evaluation of your current movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and posture.

From there, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that may include:

• Corrective exercises: Targeting weak or dysfunctional muscles to restore proper movement patterns and prevent further injuries.
• Stretching and flexibility exercises: To improve range of motion and reduce stiffness in affected areas.
• Strengthening exercises: Designed to improve muscle strength and stability to support proper movement and joint function.
• Postural training: Focused on improving posture and body alignment, which is key in preventing pain and injury.

Throughout the process, we’ll make adjustments as necessary to ensure you’re progressing effectively and safely toward your goals.

We may combine corrective exercises with chiropractic care or spinal decompression to address dysfunction and promote faster healing.
