Canyon: Surgery Should Be The Last Option

Consider Physical Therapy As A First Line Of Treatment! SURGERY SHOULD BE THE LAST OPTION (continued) Exercise and manual therapy including spinal manipulation, have been shown to alleviate pain in many patients. In addition, patient education to remain active and use appropriate body mechanics is beneficial. Physical therapists are trained to identify which of these treatment strategies will be most effective for an individual patient, which further improves the effectiveness of care. In addition to building the core muscle groups, hands-on therapy to mobilize the spine has been shown to be particularly effective. Physical therapists can help patients develop a safe and effective exercise program that is tailored to their specific needs and goals. Surgery should be the last option, but too often patients think of surgery as a cure all and are eager to embark on it. Receiving care from a licensed physical therapist can further improve the odds that a patient can maintain their quality of life and avoid surgery.

“Improved my strength and range of motion to levels higher than ever before!” PATIENT RESULTS

“My first visit to Canyon Sports Therapy was in January 2015. I needed treatment because I had torn a muscle in my lower back when I attempted to lift a heavy bucket of water, while leaning too far forward in an awkward location. This injury, along with being painful, left me almost unable to walk. The first two or three treatment sessions greatly alleviated my pain. As these treatments successfully progressed, I learned that treatment was available for injuries to my rotator cuffs, which I tore in three separate incidents dating back 15-30 years earlier. Since the first successful treatment of my back injury was completed in the summer of 2015, I have been successfully treated for two more back injuries caused by falls. Treatments to my arms and shoulders have improved my strength and range of motion to levels higher than ever before, thanks to Canyon Sports Therapy. All of the staff at this organization are extremely friendly and helpful, reflecting a culture that is inherent in the bosses John and Bea. Finally, I will be forever grateful to my therapist Andrea who has done a remarkable job of helping me restore my physical functionality to a level I had not believed was possible.” - K.W.
