Physical Rehab

What is Physical Rehab?
Physical rehabilitation can occur over a matter of weeks, months, or even years, depending on the severity of the conditions that are being treated.
Causes for Physical Rehabilitation
Physical rehab can be used as a form of treatment for a variety of injuries and conditions, whether they’re acute or chronic. Some of the most common issues that are treated with physical rehabilitation include:
Broken bones
Strokes
Amputations

A Holistic Alternative

Though it’s important to follow your physician’s advice and take medications when prescribed, it’s reasonable for patients to be averse to taking prescription pain medications indefinitely.
Physical rehab targets the root cause of pain, discomfort, and mobility limitations in order to help patients feel relief from pain, decrease dependence on pain medications, and improve their overall quality of life.
Physical Rehab vs. Physical Therapy
Physical therapists focus on rehabilitating their patients’ mobility. Typically, this means assessing a patient’s current movement capabilities (or limitations), setting goals, and coming up with a treatment plan that focuses on restoring as much of that movement as possible. This treatment plan can include stretching, strengthening exercises, and passive modalities like manual therapy.
How Chiropractic Care is Different
Chiropractic care is another type of treatment that falls under the umbrella of physical rehab. Chiropractors specialize in the neuromusculoskeletal system, which is broken down into the following parts of the body:
The nervous system
The skeletal system
Muscles, tendons, and ligaments
