Pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. Unfortunately, most people wait until the pain has progressed to the point of a medical emergency.

According the American Physical Therapy Association, most types of pain and inflammation can be cured through physical therapy. The benefit of seeking treatment from physical therapy right away are:

Save time and money: By starting physical therapy at the onset of pain, your treatment and recovery will be speedy. You will be able to see results and get out of pain quicker. The end result is that you will save money in medication and an extended plan of therapy. You could also be avoiding a costly surgery.

"If the condition is caught early enough, many of our patients are referred to us in the prevention of surgery," said Mark Bengtson, MPT and owner of Pinnacle Physical Therapy.

Keep your condition from worsening: If you are in pain, your body will most likely not get better all on its own. Some sort of treatment is required in order for relief, and more importantly, keep your condition from worsening. For example, if you are driving your brake pads start to squeal, this is a sign they need to be fixed. If you don't get them fixed will they get better or worse? They will get worse! Same with your body, it will not heal itself.

Get back to normal life right away: The pain you experience is likely keeping you from enjoying your normal way of life. Physical Therapy can help get you out of pain now and give you the education you need to manage your pain in the future. Why put off relief any longer?
