HAVE YOU MET YOUR INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE?
October is National Physical Therapy Month!
2. The best thing that you can do is seek treatment as immediately following the development of your pain as possible. Muscle aches and joint pain tend to grow worse over time. The longer you let your pain go untreated, the more severe thepain is likely tobecomeand moredifficult toheal.Physical therapy can have a huge impact on alleviating pain from muscle and joint aches, but the earlier you start, the better off you will be. 3. Physical therapy is the best strategy to overcome chronic pain and is helpful at all ages. About 30% of adults over 18 struggle with chronic back pain, and that number is even higher for those who are over 65. Turning to pain medication only masks the pain without addressing the issue— meaning the pain always comes back. Your physical therapist will tailor therapy methods to your needs, helping you achieve the best results possible.
Winter is one of the most trying times of the year for those struggling with chronic pain. Add the risk of falling due to icyconditionsandcoldweather that aggravates even the mildest arthritis issue and you’ll find a huge increase of those who would benefit from pain management and support. Take this month to learn some of the most important things you need to know about the benefits and perks of physical therapy: 1. Physical therapy is most beneficial when used before an issue becomes chronic and even as a means to prevent future injury. Your physical therapist can provide you an exercise regimen to help strengthen your body and keep joints healthy, flexible, and moving properly. Exercising regularly can help you understand proper lifting mechanics and their importance in everyday life, such as moving heavy furniture or lifting items off the ground. You can also practice proper posture as a preventative to many different types of injuries.
Patients with family plans or those who have had major surgeries or have a chronic illness are especially likely to have a $0 balance remaining on their out-of-pocket expenses. This means that the cost of physical therapy could be minimal or compltely covered by the patient’s insurance plan. If you are close to or have met your insurance deductible for the year, then now is the time to come in for PhysicalTherapy! Are you feeling aches and pains? Need to work on your core?
