orthopedics

Orthopaedic physical therapy practice emphasizes the prevention, identification, assessment, minimization, and correction of pain and disability due to acute or prolonged musculoskeletal impairment. This includes post-surgical as well as non-surgical conditions. The goal of treatment is to promote optimal health and function. A physical therapist may use a variety of interventions to diminish pain, impairments and disability associated with orthopaedic disorders.

Examples of some commonly used interventions include manual physical therapy, therapeutic exercise as well as ergonomic intervention and education. Therapists who are board certified as Orthopaedic Clinical Specialists by the American Physical Therapy Association are optimally trained and educated to effectively deal with orthopaedic disorders.

Who Will Benefit?

Patients who have acute and chronic low-back and neck pain, muscle-tension headaches, general arthritic complaints, hip and knee osteoarthritis, shoulder pain, and muscle strains and joint sprains will benefit from orthopaedic physical therapy intervention. In addition, post-surgical rehabilitation is critical for successful recovery from operations such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, total hip and knee replacement, shoulder decompression, and a variety of spine surgical procedures to name a few.
