Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation
Joint and soft tissue injuries can occur suddenly following an accident
or trauma or as a result of years of wear-and-tear. Your therapist
is qualified to treat your injury through extensive academic and clinical
education and has completed a state licensure examination. Your therapist
will identify your impairments and limitations and create an individualized
program to return you to your activities and lifestyle as quickly
as possible.
Some of the more common conditions for which physical therapists provide
treatment include:
- Sports injuries, such as overuse injuries and trauma in athletes
- Joint and soft-tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, tendinitis,
fractures and dislocations, and pre- and post-surgical conditions
- Arthritic conditions, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid
arthritis
- Workplace injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cumulative
trauma and stress disorders
Your
first physical therapy visit will include a thorough examination,
utilizing specific tests and measures for your condition. Your therapist
will evaluate and make a clinical judgment based on the information
gathered during the exam, which will assist him or her in determining
your treatment. Your therapist will discuss the findings with you,
along with the recommended treatment, while considering your goals
for improvement.
