What comes to mind when you think of physical therapy? If you’re like most people, the odds are good that in your imagination, it looks something like this: an elderly person doing specific exercises to recover from knee-replacement surgery or a pro athlete working with his team’s medical staff after a nasty injury. According to a report, an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide suffer from chronic pain (CP), with prevalence increasing with age. At Clearway Pain Solutions, our team of experienced physical therapists can help individuals return to their prior level of functioning and encourage lifestyle changes that prevent injury from occurring again. In this article, we’ll highlight 9 benefits of physical therapy that will help improve the quality of life.
Physical therapy is the clinical specialty of medicine focused on restoring, maintaining, and improving physical function. According to an American Physical Therapy Association report, the average physical therapy clinic or rehabilitation center sees between 101 and 200 patients weekly. While there are many treatment options across all functional domains of the body (e.g., musculoskeletal, neurological), most physical therapy is used for musculoskeletal conditions. At Clearway Pain Solutions, our team of experts help relieve pain, restore physical function and empower patients to renew themselves so they can enjoy the lives they want and deserve.
Physical therapists treat conditions related to the musculoskeletal system, which is the body’s primary support system. This includes disorders of bone, joints, muscles, and other soft tissues. Experts work with many conditions that involve injuries or medical problems affecting the head, neck, or spine. Others are related to repeated motion and poor posture in everyday activities such as lifting objects or typing on a computer keyboard at work. The team at Clearway Pain Solution is skilled at evaluating and treating various musculoskeletal conditions. We specialize in working with patients’ muscles, nerves, bones, skin, blood vessels, and more to help improve their condition.
Anyone with chronic, long-term pain or discomfort of any kind should see a physical therapist to assess, treat, and restore their body’s function.
