The solution to eliminate pain, avoid surgery, improve mobility and motion

Physical therapy isn't always the most obvious choice when considering health care. You go to your family doctor, or to urgent care, but how many of you seek out your physical therapist? Do you even have a physical therapist? If you are seeking to eliminate pain, potentially avoid surgery, or improve your mobility and motion, then that answer should be YES.

Physical therapy can help reduce and manage pain, including back pain, "which affects up to 80 percent of Americans during their lifetime" according to the American Physical Therapy Association. Physical therapy promotes movement and can help alleviate the pain as well as provide a long-lasting effect. Research shows that individuals who receive physical therapy experience a greater improvement in function and decreased pain intensity. Whether you are experiencing back pain, or another type of pain or injury, physical therapy can help alleviate or manage pain without costly medication and possibly more invasive methods, such as surgery.

No matter what area of your body is experiencing pain - back, neck, shoulder, knee - physical therapy can help you improve your quality of life. A physical therapist can help you move freely again without pain and discomfort. Physical therapy can also help you prevent an injury altogether. Physical therapists receive special training to understand how the body works and how to get you moving again. Whether you are suffering from pain, recovering from a stroke, a fall, a sports injury, a motor vehicle or work accident, your physical therapist is a skilled health-care professional who will work with you, evaluate your condition, and develop a personalized plan for your care.
