4 Benefits of Physical Therapy
Every year, half of all Americans experience a musculoskeletal injury that lasts for longer than three months. Unfortunately, many people don’t seek the correct treatment for their injury, opting for home treatments or simply ignoring it in hopes it gets better by itself. That’s why an astounding 2.4 billion people are in need of physical therapy, according to a recent estimation.
But what is physical therapy? How can physical therapy benefit you? In this article, we’re going to cover the main benefits that you’ll experience when you visit our physical therapy center in Dallas.
What is physical therapy?
The definition of physical therapy is a type of treatment that focuses on improving the function of your body. The physical therapists at our center in Dallas are all licensed medical professionals who have been trained to treat an array of physical conditions. These conditions may be related to an injury, disability, disease, or genetics.
Why do people get physical therapy?
Oftentimes, we ignore benign injuries because we don’t think they’re bad enough for medical
care. But this causes the injury to get worse over time, and to usually spread to other areas of the body in an attempt to compensate for the pain or imbalances. This is the need for physical therapy.
What are the benefits of physical therapy?
Pain Management
50 million adults experience chronic pain every day. The only viable treatment for many is pain medication, but this only masks the symptoms rather than treating the source of the problem. Physical therapy is an effective way to manage pain by treating the injury or condition responsible.
A study published in 2018 found that when patients with chronic and severe low back pain received physical therapy, they noted significant improvements in pain and functional status versus a control group.
Improved mobility and function
During one of our physical therapy sessions here in Dallas, a therapist will guide you through stretches and exercises that focus on increasing the range of motion of your joints and strengthening your muscles. As a result, your mobility will improve.
A recent study summarized this relationship, concluding that “frequency of physical therapy is associated with mobility”.
Injury recovery
8.6 million sports injuries occur each year, but interestingly, research suggests up to 54 percent of people don’t get the proper treatment. This causes persistent injuries that never really heal. Physical therapy is the most effective way to recover from injuries. Our therapists use hands-on massage and manipulation, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation to increase blood flow to the injury and promote healing naturally.
Avoid surgery
Continuing from the last point, when you ignore an injury, it gets worse. This increases the likelihood that you will need surgery to fix it. Surgeries are expensive, painful, and have a substantial recovery period that can impact your ability to work, socialize, and look after your family. To put this into perspective, the average cost of knee surgery is $50,000. Treating your injury with physical therapy can prevent the need for surgery further down the line.
