Understanding Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a method of treating disease, illness, or injury without drugs or surgery. Basically, it means that the chiropractor will use physical methods of healing rather than invasive surgery or medication. This is a great alternative for people who are hoping to avoid harsh medication or surgery to solve their issues.

Types of Physiotherapy

There are a variety of therapies available that fall under this category. Let's look at a few that we provide in our office.

Massage therapy

Massage can be used to treat many different types of conditions. It can also be used to manage stress.

Stretches and Exercise

Some injuries are a result of underused, weakened muscles. These muscles need to be strengthened through exercise. Other times, an injury is the result of muscles that do not have sufficient flexibility to manage everyday activities. These muscles need to be loosened and stretched. Physiotherapy can accomplish this to treat injury and prevent future injury.

Hot/Cold treatment

Hot and cold compresses can be used to reduce inflammation and pain so that tissue has a chance to heal.

Benefits of Physiotherapy

There are many benefits to this type of treatment. The biggest benefit is that you can find pain relief and healing without dangerous medications. Most medications used for pain have harsh side effects and addictive properties. These need to be avoided if possible.

Physiotherapy also helps you become healthier all over so that when you do heal from your injury, you can work toward greater health goals.
