Do I Need Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy to treat disease and pain was believed to start as far back as 460 BC. With the development of the field of orthopedics and physiology, physical therapy has developed into the robust medical practice it is today.

The Spine & Scoliosis Specialists provide on-site physical therapy to rehabilitate patients to avoid surgery and ease pain, or to help patients regain strength after surgery.

Is Physical Therapy Effective?

In many cases, physical therapy is a very effective treatment for pain, mobility issues, or potential injuries. Many people find success in treatment with a physical therapy plan that diagnoses the cause of pain or movement restriction, and works effectively to ease pain or improve your mobility.

Of course it’s important to remember that each case is individualized, so make sure to discuss physical therapy for you with Dr. Cohen, Dr. Saullo, or Dr. Torrealba.
