Orthopedic Physical Therapy Areas And Treatments

Physical therapies have been curing people for years with different specialty areas, and the effectiveness is incomparable. We can recover from diseases, injury, pain, or so many things that we can’t even imagine from physical therapy.  

Orthopedic physical therapy is one of the most common practice areas of physical therapy treatments where skilled physiotherapists treat our illness or discomfort affecting our bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, etc. Orthopedic Physical Therapy Feasterville PA can be beneficial if we can get it done by experienced professionals.

Here are some of the orthopedic injuries and their physical therapy treatments:

• Muscle Strains: When our muscles or tendons experience injuries in the thick bands connecting between muscles and bones, that is called strain. Twisting or tearing muscles can cause harm and injuries like strain in our bodies. We suffer from massive pain, muscle spasms, and weakness around that injured area.

When our pain is extreme, we must see a doctor and schedule an appointment for a physical therapist. They can detect our problem, and with manual and other physiotherapy treatments, they can heal our strain with PT exercises and strengthening exercises.

• Ligament Sprains: 

Ligament sprains are more critical than muscle strains. When our ligaments' natural alignment gets displaced due to accidents or other reasons, we experience ligament sprain. From a slight ligament expanse to an entire slit, a sprain can level up with the amount of pain and discomfort. We can suffer from bruising, swelling, instability, and movement discomfort from ligament sprains.

The practice of orthopedic physiotherapy of motion exercise at the injury can cure the suffering slowly but surely. Strengthening exercise therapies can be useful in these areas to enhance strength at joints.

• Fracture: 

Broken bones and fractures can occur from any accident at any point in our lives if we are not careful enough. We need medical attention as soon as possible after we experience the trauma. The bone needs to readjust and get aligned fast. An X-Ray can detect the proper condition of the bone and the fracture, and then our doctors can take it from there.

Immobilization is the priority after the alignment of the broken or fractured bone. After the procedure gets completed, regular physical therapy will ensure our post-operational care and help us gain our strength again.

• Tendonitis: 

Inflamed tendons are a source of massive pain, swelling, and we may lose mobility along with it—our strength and muscle power decrease from tendonitis. The insertion sites of tendons on our bones and muscles start aching.

When a lack of blood supplies around the tendons resists the healing of any injury, we suffer from tendonitis. Inflammatory disorders, direct hit, osteoarthritis, etc. can cause chronic and acute tendonitis.

The muscle manipulation and massage around the wound by a physical therapist can heal the injury and get rid of the pain. Physiotherapies can heal tendonitis very fast.

• Bursitis:

Inflamed bursa, slick pads inside a joint space, is known as bursitis. Acute injury and harm on previous injuries cause this condition and, we suffer from pain, tenderness, and swelling. Hydrotherapy or hot and cold physiotherapy can be a great solution to this suffering.
