What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy also known as physiotherapy is a medical practice that focuses on physical treatment rather than drugs or surgery in order to help patients achieve functionality that they are lacking due to an injury or condition.
How Does Physical Therapy Work?
Often times in order to schedule physical therapy appointments, you need a prescription from your doctor. However there are many cases where patients don't need a prescription. In that case the patient must have visited the doctor recently, and the physical therapist can call the doctor to get a verbal prescription for the patient. This is why it is usually beneficial to consult with a physical therapist from the beginning, especially if you find a physical therapist who offers free consultations! Once you are approved by your Doctor and therapist, you will be quoted a certain number of appointments by your insurance company (Or you can pay cash). Depending on your injury/condition, it will probably take several visits to recover.
What does Physical Therapy Treat?
There are several types of physical therapy treatments aimed at helping individuals with different forms of pain arising from different problems. Similar to doctors, therapists specialize in different therapy treatments based on the equipment and services they provide. Here are example of specialized treatments that clinics are able to provide.
- Orthopedic Physical Therapy
- Geriatric Physical Therapy
- Neurological Physical Therapy
- Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Therapy
- Pediatric Therapy
- Vestibular Therapy
- Aquatic Therapy
