Physical Therapy
Most patients are prescribed physical therapy to help strengthen muscles and accelerate recovery in conjunction with medications and chiropractic care.
Your first visit with the therapist will include an evaluation and treatment plan. The number of treatments varies based on the type and severity of the problem. In most cases, you will be given a home exercise program during and after discharge from care.
Almost all physical therapy programs involve stretching, strengthening exercises, education about the treatments undertaken, and how to move your body to avoid future injury.
Other treatments such as hot and cold packs, electrical stimulation, massage, manipulation, and other modalities are often prescribed well.
