Physical Therapy: Procedure, Recovery & Benefit

Physical therapy

Physical therapy can be an important part of treatment and recovery for patients with spine, joint, and neurological conditions. Physical therapists commonly treat conditions such as herniated discs, pinched nerves, and spinal stenosis, as well as shoulder, hip, and knee conditions and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.

Physical therapy often uses targeted exercise, movement, and strengthening to improve function, mobility, and symptoms, with patients actively participating in their rehabilitation.
