Primary Care
One of the most common untruths is that you can only seek physical therapy treatment when your primary doctor refers you. However, through legislation called Direct Access, you can schedule an appointment with a physical therapist without a referral from your primary care provider. The benefits of Direct Access include faster treatment and potentially lower medical costs. Rather than paying a co-pay to see your doctor first, you can come to one of our clinics to begin receiving care right away.
In the physical therapy world, we commonly hear misconceptions about our profession. Many people who have never received treatment before misinterpret what physical therapists can do for their patients. Our medical expertise and manual techniques to reduce pain go well beyond stretching. We debunk 5 common myths about physical therapy.
Shoulder Pain
Manual Therapy
Neck rolls Get Plenty of Sleep A great way to decrease that ache or pain is to make sleep a priority. Getting enough sleep allows the body to rest and repair any damage that may have occurred throughout the day. Without enough sleep, both the brain and the body can suffer. It is recommended that the average adult should get a minimum of at least six hours of sleep each night. Make Time to Exercise Exercise may seem like just the opposite thing to do when trying to avoid a certain ache or pain; however, exercise can help prevent pain. It is recommended to exercise at least three to four times each week. This does not mean hitting the gym for hours, it can be as simple as a brisk walk. Exercise is another way to release stress which may be mounting in the body. Schedule a pain assessment If you have chronic pain, your physical therapist can help you identify factors that may be leading to the prolonged pain. These factors may include faulty movement patterns, muscle weakness, areas of stiffness that prevent normal motion, previous injury and past events that may be contributing to your pain, fear, negative emotions, and other behaviors or social factors that can lead to long-term pain. Your physical therapist will design a treatment program to fit your specific needs, which may include manual (hands-on) therapy, and gentle exercises to relieve pain. Your treatment may emphasize education about the latest findings regarding pain, in addition to healing exercises and manual therapy. Research has demonstrated that positive changes occur in the brain after patients are educated about the purpose and causes of pain.
