Physical therapy is an incredible treatment option that can help individuals recover from an accident, surgery, an injury, or the symptoms of a disease or disorder. The Atlanta physical therapists at AICA Orthopedics are professionally trained and licensed individuals who are passionate about helping people find relief, health, and healing. They provide non-surgical, non-invasive, drug-free physical therapy treatment that is personalized to each individual and their particular situation. If you need physical therapy after a car accident or if you need to strengthen your muscles, increase your flexibility and range of motion, improve joint health, increase your balance and coordination, or generally improve your overall health, AICA Orthopedic physical therapy clinics are a great place to start.
Physical therapists are versatile doctors with a complex understanding of how the musculoskeletal system works. They utilize various techniques and expertise to accomplish the goal of maintaining the proper functions of the various hard and soft tissues of the body. They do this at many stages of an individual’s treatment; physical therapists may consult with a patient in preparation for a surgical procedure for what is called “prehabilitation.” They may also be responsible for providing the primary method of healing for an orthopedic pain issue. They will also nearly always be involved in the rehabilitation that follows a procedure or other course of treatment.
Everyone’s circumstances are different, but the majority of people we see at our Atlanta GA physical therapy clinics can all benefit a great deal from physical therapy. If you’ve been in an automobile accident, experienced a work injury, or sustained a sports injury, physical therapy can help speed up your healing time and help you regain mobility quickly. If you are dealing with general pain in your muscles, we can help you stretch and strengthen those muscles with physical therapy exercises so you can reduce your pain and live the best life possible. Additionally, if you’re having surgery soon or recently had surgery, we can help with the rehabilitation of joints, strengthening of repaired soft tissues, and so much more. Essentially, any injury you’ve experienced can be improved with physical therapy. Additionally, a number of diseases and disorders can affect your mobility and physical comfort, and physical therapy can help with that too. Here are the three common types of physical therapy that we offer.
The traditional approach to physical therapy after a car accident is a physical examination to determine where the injury is located and what type of treatment is required for healing. But sometimes, a physical examination simply isn’t enough. Without an inside look into the body, it is easy to misdiagnose and mistreat an injury. While physical therapists have used diagnostic tools for years to get a clearer picture of what type of injury they are dealing with, it used to be that patients would have to go off-site to another location to get necessary testing. This often takes more time to get back the results and proceed forward with a treatment plan. But now, at AICA Orthopedics, physical therapists have direct access to a wide range of diagnostic tools onsite. They can use whatever means necessary to quickly and accurately diagnose the specific type of injury, guaranteeing that you receive the exact treatment plan you require to heal completely.
The most common types of diagnostic tools that physical therapists utilize are electromyography (EMG), Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), ultrasounds, vestibular testing for vertigo symptoms or balance problems, MRIs, or CT scans. Each test is unique to the type of injury and can be used to provide a clear picture of the root problem to develop a better comprehensive treatment plan for each physical therapy patient the walks through the doors of AICA Orthopedics.
