The initial stages of physical therapy will focus on restoring any lost motion, reducing swelling, and using all available treatments to alleviate any pain you may experience. Within a few hours of compression and elevation, most people notice that the swelling begins to subside, and with it, their pain. Next, we will design a program to restore your proprioception, balance, and strength so you can take on everyday activities. For optimal results, it is best to consult with a physical therapist to see the best methods for healing and avoiding re-injury of the affected area.
