It’s important to seek medical attention as soon as you can because your shoulder has a lot going on inside of it and is connected to a lot of other things. The longer you wait, the more it may affect other parts of your body. The advantages of physical therapy for shoulder pain and injuries are something our highly qualified IMC Rehab Specialists want you to know.
During your lifetime, many of the millions of people who experience shoulder pain will visit a physical therapist. A physical therapist is a highly trained, specialized person who treats a wide range of illnesses, chronic disorders, and injuries.
Physical therapy’s primary objective is to enhance your daily quality of life by reducing pain and boosting your strength and mobility. Physical therapy will help you if you are experiencing pain or difficulty dressing, tucking in a shirt, reaching into your back pocket, or if you have been avoiding some of these actions due to pain, stiffness, or weakness. Stretching, strengthening, and joint mobilization/stabilization are some physical therapy options for treating shoulder pain. Your physical treatment regimen may also include the use of heat, cold, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, or athletic tape.
Physical therapy treatment can sometimes prevent the need for surgery, which is especially beneficial for older persons who might not have good surgical outcomes. According to studies, the majority of patients find physical therapy effective in treating shoulder injuries, though recovery times can vary from person to person. Physical therapy is a tremendous approach to preparing and strengthening the body before and after surgery, even when it is unavoidable.
If you have never visited a physical therapist before, whether it be for shoulder discomfort or another issue, you could feel a little anxious, especially if you have no idea what to anticipate. The initial physical therapy session is probably not at all like later sessions. You and the physical therapist will discuss your shoulder pain or injury during the initial appointment, including how it occurred. Along with any physical restrictions brought on by your injury, the physical therapist will talk with you about your therapy objectives.
At the first consultation, the physical therapist will also assess the effects of your injury, including your range of motion and any structural damage. All of these inquiries and tests will provide the physical therapist with a clear understanding of your problem and serve as recommendations for creating a customized treatment plan for you. The physical therapies included in the treatment plan will help your shoulder injury heal as quickly and completely as possible. Each treatment plan includes some amount of at-home activities, and it may involve a combination of different therapies.
