THE ROLE PHYSICAL THERAPY PLAYS IN PREVENTING SURGERY FOR SPORTS-RELATED INJURIES

Tailored Plans After an Injury If you are trying to avoid surgery and wonder if physical therapy can prevent or delay it, the simple answer is yes! Most orthopedic-type surgeries are not urgent or emergencies. Although traumatic situations can be emergencies, most times, there is a significant period of time between diagnosis and surgery. Far too often, people mistake their symptoms for signs to rest or avoid the activities causing them pain. Even more frequent is the number of people who ignore aches and pains, thinking they will go away on their own, only to discover those early warning signs were the body’s signals to get help. Unfortunately, rest, avoidance, and trying to ignore or push through pain only lead to a bigger, often more complex, problem. At Restore Physical Therapy, our physical therapists will weed through your symptoms and identify the root cause of your particular situation. We will give you the tools to prevent, delay, or prepare yourself for surgery.

If you’re an athlete or enjoy playing sports, injuries are, unfortunately, a common occurrence. Fortunately, our Restore Physical Therapy physical therapists can help you recover after an injury and avoid the need for surgery in many cases.
