Of course, the first step is a proper diagnosis that identifies the root cause of the problem. There are a number of different types of physical therapy, whether you\u2019re recovering from a sports injury, fall, auto accident, long illness, stroke, or surgery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Physical therapy and rehabilitation services include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Functional restoration and reconditioning<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Therapeutic stretching and strengthening<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Post-surgery rehabilitation<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Reconditioning for musculoskeletal and neurological disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Rehabilitation for spinal disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Post-accident rehabilitation<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Sports rehabilitation<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Manual therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Modalities<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Customized rehabilitation programs<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Why Is Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Important?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">On the surface, physical therapy and rehabilitation is about restoring stability, strength, mobility, flexibility and balance after an injury, accident or illness. It can help you prevent injuries and manage age-related health problems such as joint pain, arthritis and osteoporosis. In many cases, it can help you avoid surgery. But physical therapy is about so much more than being able to function without pain. It\u2019s about quality of life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Physical therapy and rehabilitation is about returning to activities you enjoy with the people you love. It\u2019s about getting back to work and being productive. It\u2019s about maintaining your independence. It\u2019s about building confidence and having a positive outlook. It\u2019s about reducing reliance on prescription pain medication. Physical therapy can even help some patients overcome depression.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>What Conditions Can Be Treated with Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">While patients are often referred to physical therapists to address a specific injury or condition, patients can also seek out physical therapists on their own. Physical therapy and rehabilitation is a critical component of the integrative healthcare model. It would be virtually impossible to list every injury or condition that can be treated with physical therapy and rehabilitation, so we\u2019ve provided categories of conditions with a few examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Injury and accident recovery<\/span><\/strong>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Falls<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Auto accidents<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Sports injuries<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Musculoskeletal dysfunction<\/span><\/strong>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Back pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Torn rotator cuff<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">TMJ disorder<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Carpal tunnel syndrome<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Recovery from surgery<\/span><\/strong>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Hip and knee replacement<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Broken bones<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Torn muscles, ligaments and tendons<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Neurological conditions<\/span><\/strong>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Stroke<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Spinal cord injuries<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Multiple sclerosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Brain trauma<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Cardiopulmonary conditions<\/span><\/strong>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Cystic fibrosis<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Women\u2019s health<\/span><\/strong>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Recovery from childbirth<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Prenatal and postpartum therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Pelvic floor dysfunction<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Lymphedema<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation for Sports Injuries<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">We understand how frustrating it can be for athletes to stop participating in their favorite sport due to injury. The clinical team at Natural Healthcare Center includes certified sports chiropractors with extensive experience in treating athletes at the youth, college and professional levels. You\u2019ll have access to physical therapists who specialize in the recognition, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries, working closely with coaches and trainers to monitor your recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>How Does Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Fit into Our Integrative Model of Care? <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Physical therapy and rehabilitation can be a standalone treatment option for dozens of conditions. We typically combine physical therapy with other services to help people from all walks of life rediscover what \u201chealthy\u201d feels like. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Licensed physical therapists closely collaborate with chiropractors, clinical nutritionists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and podiatrists to diagnose the root cause of your condition. We recognize the downstream effects that a leg injury, for example, can have across your body. This is why we develop a personalized treatment plan that focuses not only on relieving pain and discomfort in a targeted area, but also bringing balance to your entire body.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Did You Know\u2026<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In the U.S., physical therapy was originally intended to be a profession for women when the Women\u2019s Physical Therapeutic Association was formed in 1921. The following year, the name was changed to the American Physiotherapy Association and men were allowed to join. During the 1940s, the name was changed again to its current moniker, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Although physical therapy has only been recognized in our country for about 100 years, ancient writings show physical therapy techniques are thousands of years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The First Step: Your Complimentary Consultation<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019ve had an injury or accident, you\u2019re having surgery or trying to avoid surgery, or you\u2019re struggling with a chronic condition, schedule a complimentary consultation at Natural Healthcare Center.
