What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses movement, targeted exercises, and specialized techniques to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility. It helps reduce pain, improve function, and prevent future injuries. 

At Anchor Spine & Joint, your provider may integrate physical therapy with other pain management strategies to address both sudden injuries and chronic conditions. Physical therapy can be used to:

• Improve posture and body mechanics
• Strengthen weakened muscles and joints
• Restore range of motion after surgery or injury
• Reduce reliance on medications for long-term pain control

By focusing on the root cause of your discomfort, physical therapy supports lasting relief and hastens your return to work, school, sports, your daily activities, and hobbies.

What conditions can physical therapy treat?

Your physical therapist at Anchor Spine & Joint can tailor your physical therapy to support your recovery from a variety of conditions. It’s effective in managing both tissue- and nerve-related pain, making it suitable for many different patients.

Conditions that respond well to physical therapy include:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Sports injuries
• Arthritis
• Joint pain
• Post-surgical recovery
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Neuromuscular conditions that affect your balance or movement

In addition to reducing pain, physical therapy can help prevent further injury by teaching proper movement patterns and strengthening areas of vulnerability. Improvements in mobility and stability can also enhance your overall quality of life.
