physical therapy

What is physical therapy

Physical therapy is one of the approved methods of treatment. It includes specific exercises, massage, and specific physical stimuli, such as exposing the body to heat or cold, shocking the body with controlled electrical currents, or exposing it to ultrasound waves. The main goal of physical therapy is to relieve pain and help the patient regain normal movement. Physical therapy also plays an essential role in increasing the strength of weak muscles. Physical therapy is not limited to the place of treatment, such as the hospital or center, as it requires the patient to perform specific movements and exercises at home. The most prominent cases in which physical therapy is useful are back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or neurological diseases, in addition to a group of diseases and health conditions.

Who needs physical therapy?

Physical therapy is a broad science, and it may be greatly needed in many medical conditions. Physical therapy may also be able to help many medical and pathological conditions, the most prominent of which are:

Conditions that affect limb movement, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, temporary paralysis resulting from viral or bacterial infections, or muscle and nerve injuries.
Conditions that affect the heart and lungs, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, and heart failure resulting from myocardial infarction.
Conditions that affect the muscles and bones, such as rotator cuff tears, temporomandibular joint disorders, and back pain.
Conditions that affect the nerves such as stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, vestibular dysfunction, and traumatic brain injury.
Injuries resulting from sports, such as tennis elbow.
Conditions that affect children, such as muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy.
Conditions that affect women, such as pelvic floor weakness.
Skin diseases or injuries, such as burns, difficult wounds, and diabetic ulcers.

In addition to what was mentioned, there are many cases in which physical therapy is very effective. In some cases, physical therapy is not a separate treatment as much as it is part of a complementary treatment that the patient needs after undergoing surgery or long-term medical treatment. Doctors remain the most capable of determining the appropriate treatment for each disease.
