Physical Therapy Q & A
What is physical therapy?
Physical therapy (PT) is designed to strengthen and support areas of your body that are compromised due to trauma or illness.
Dr. Vorzimer custom-designs your PT based on which of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints have been injured or debilitated. His aim with PT is also to strengthen your overall core strength, which supports your spine to keep you in healthy, functional alignment.
When do I need physical therapy?
You benefit from PT any time you experience trauma, have an injury or suffer an illness that impairs your mobility or causes pain. Common reasons for seeking PT include:
- Sports injury
- Automobile accident
- Stroke
- Surgery
- Postpartum recovery
- Chronic illness, such as arthritis or diabetes
- Learning how to use an artificial limb
- Learning how to use crutches or other ambulatory devices
You may also benefit from PT if you want to avoid injury or reduce your chances of developing repetitive-stress trauma.
How does physical therapy help me recover?
At J.V. Chiropractic, the aim of all PT and other treatments to create homeostasis in your body so that it can heal itself.
One of the main ways that Dr. Vorzimer accomplishes this is by aligning your spine so that your body functions optimally.
