Physical rehabilitation (or therapy) treats issues resulting from injuries and chronic conditions by using exercises and stretching techniques. Differing from chiropractic services, physical therapy is not limited to spinal-rooted issues. This field of healthcare receives patients suffering from issues like ligament or tendon injuries; neurological conditions, like strokes or seizures; sport-related injuries; and musculoskeletal dysfunctions. It can aid in pain management, muscle recovery, and in increasing mobility. Like a chiropractic patient, the duration of a physical rehab patient’s treatment depends on the individual’s needs. A doctor may be able to send a patient home with a list of stretches and exercises that will reduce pain and build strength, prevent further damage to the body, and excuse the patient from more intense treatments or follow-ups. In more severe cases, a patient may be required to attend therapy multiple times a week for several weeks in order to regain full functionality of their body. Physical therapy is a common post-surgery recovery aid that often boosts the effectiveness of medical procedures.
